National Instruments 783340-01

The National Instruments 783340-01 CompactDAQ Controller, known as the cDAQ-9134, is a robust and versatile 4-slot controller designed for high-performance data acquisition applications. Powered by the Intel Atom E3825 dual-core processor operating at 1.33 GHz, it features an efficient architecture with a 1 MB shared L2 cache and is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3L system memory and 32 GB of nonvolatile SSD storage, ensuring reliable operation and data integrity. Connectivity is enhanced with dual Ethernet ports, supporting 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T interfaces compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, allowing for communication speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps, with a maximum cabling distance of 100 meters. In addition to Ethernet, the device offers extensive peripheral connectivity through one USB 2.0 Hi-Speed device port and two USB 2.0 Hi-Speed host ports, along with an RS-232 serial port capable of data rates up to 115,200 bps.

The cDAQ-9134 supports SD and SDHC memory cards of up to 32 GB through its SD card slot, and features a Mini DisplayPort capable of 2560 × 1600 resolution at 60 Hz. Designed for industrial applications, it operates with a voltage range of 9 V to 30 V DC and has a maximum power consumption of 40 W; a recommended power supply of 100 W, 24 V DC is advised. The onboard CMOS battery, when powered continuously, offers an estimated lifespan of 10 years, with reduced longevity under specified temperature conditions.

The physical dimensions of the cDAQ-9134 are 8.64 inches by 3.47 inches by 4.67 inches, and it weighs 1.85 kg. It is compatible with copper conductor wires ranging from 20 AWG to 14 AWG and is built to withstand a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C with 10% to 90% noncondensing relative humidity. For storage, the device can endure temperatures between -40 °C and 85 °C with humidity from 5% to 95% noncondensing. The cDAQ-9134 is intended for indoor use and is rated for operation at altitudes up to 5,000 meters. This CompactDAQ Controller is compatible with Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) and NI Linux Real-Time, making it a versatile choice for diverse data acquisition needs.
