National Instruments PXI-6513

The National Instruments PXI-6513 (Part Number: 778971-01) is an industrial-grade PXI Digital I/O Module designed for flexibility and reliability in manufacturing test and industrial control applications. Featuring eight banks of optically isolated channels, this module offers 64 unidirectional digital output lines with a sink output capability and a voltage range of 0 V to 30 V, accommodating digital I/O logic levels of 24 V. The PXI-6513 is engineered to support NI-DAQmx software technology, enhancing productivity and operational performance.

For connectivity, the module is equipped with a 100-pin high-density SCSI connector, allowing for straightforward integration using the NI R1005050 ribbon cable with the CB-50LP or CB-50 connector blocks, as well as the SH100-100-F shielded cable with the SCB-100 connector block. The module incorporates isolated photocouplers with Darlington relays that switch off during power-on and power-off sequences. Additionally, it features programmable input filtering to reduce noise and spikes.

The PXI-6513 complies with the PXI Hardware Specification Rev 2.1, ensuring automated resource allocation for device management, including interrupt level and base address, thus eliminating the need for user intervention during system initiation. The built-in isolation not only supports direct connection to industrial sensors but also enhances signal quality and protects computer circuitry.

The PXI-6513 measures 8.38 x 5.12 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces. It operates effectively within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and is suitable for storage at temperatures between -20 °C and 70 °C. The module is rated for operating and non-operating random vibrations of 0.3 grms and 2.4 grms, respectively, within a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz. For additional resources, user manuals and maintenance documentation are available for download. This module is backed by a three-year warranty.
