National Instruments DCM-2316

The National Instruments DCM-2316 Direct Injector Control and Measurement Device (Part Number: 784570-01) is an advanced multi-channel solution designed for precision control and measurement in fuel injection systems. This device features 16 independent channels and offers high-resolution engine position tracking along with sophisticated triggering capabilities tailored for injector control. Engineered to accommodate up to 8 piezoelectric or 16 solenoid direct injectors, the DCM-2316 operates at voltages of up to 250 V, necessitating careful adherence to safety protocols to prevent electric shock. It is imperative that users wait two minutes for voltage dissipation after powering down the device, and direct contact with connector pins or injector terminals is prohibited while the unit is powered on.

With advanced waveform generation and triggering functionalities, the DCM-2316 allows users to define complex current and voltage profiles, underpinned by the LabVIEW reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture, which facilitates nanosecond-scale control precision. The maximum power consumption is contingent upon application demands, and users are advised against connecting the device to signals or utilizing it for measurements in Measurement Categories II, III, or IV. The DCM-2316 is powered by the Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGA (XC7Z020 All Programmable SoC), which includes 85,000 logic cells and 106,400 flip-flops, all operating under the NI Linux Real-Time (32-bit) environment. The device measures 19 inches by 8.7 inches by 4.4 inches and weighs 16.60 pounds. A user manual and maintenance guide are available for download, and interested parties should contact a sales representative for pricing information. The National Instruments DCM-2316 is backed by a 2-3 year warranty, ensuring reliability and service support for your industrial automation needs.
