Data Sheet  |   Configure System popup

The National Instruments PXI-6529 module is an industrial channel-to-channel isolated digital input interface for PXI/CompactPCI systems. You can use the 48 optically isolated inputs of the NI PXI-6529 to read the status of sensors, actuators, and logic devices up to ±60 VDC. PXI-6529 devices are ideal for a variety of applications from automotive design, industrial factory automation, and machine control to aerospace, laboratory research, and biomedical applications.

Industrial Feature Set
Industrial digital I/O devices are designed to incorporate the latest hardware technologies for applications requiring ease of use, high reliability, and performance.

• Isolation separates high-voltage front end circuitry from the low-voltage back end while breaking ground loops, improving common-mode voltage rejection, and protecting the system from hazardous voltages.

• Change detection automatically triggers your software application to perform a read operation after a digital change of state with minimal processor usage.

• Programmable input filters remove noise, glitches, and spikes on inputs as well as provide debouncing for digital switches and relays.

Driver Software
PXI-6529 modules are jumper-free and take advantage of NI-DAQmx measurement services software to speed up application development with features such as DAQ Assistant, automatic code generation, and high-performance multithreaded streaming technology.
