The NI USB-6509 is a portable, industrial data acquisition device with 96 channels of digital I/O. It is compatible with TTL, CMOS, and 5 V digital logic levels. Each port of eight lines is individually configurable for input or output. You can drive external digital devices, such as solid-state relays (SSRs), with current up to 24 mA per line using power available over USB. In bus-powered mode, the USB-6509 can source up to 215 mA total across all digital output lines. Use the optional 12 VDC power supply for additional sourcing current. A USB-6509 is ideal for general-purpose data acquisition applications as well as industrial control and automated manufacturing test.
Industrial Feature Set
NI industrial digital I/O devices offer a set of high-reliability features designed to automate even the most demanding applications. Programmable power-up states provide safe operation when connected to pumps, valves, motors, and relays. Digital I/O watchdog timers detect computer or application crashes and ensure safe recovery. Change-detection triggers your application and performs a read operation after a digital event with minimal processor usage. Programmable input filters eliminate glitches/spikes and remove noise.
Driver Software
The USB-6509 works with NI-DAQmx driver software, which features an easy-to-use and intuitive interface for programming. USB-6509 devices are compatible with NI LabVIEW, NI LabWindows™/CVI, ANSI C/C++, Visual Basic .NET, C#, and Visual Basic 6.0.
