National Instruments 781041-01

The National Instruments 781041-01, known as the PCIe-8375 Device for PXI Remote Control, is designed to facilitate efficient remote control of PXI systems. This high-performance PCI Express x4 controller operates within PCI Express specifications and requires an MXI-Express x4 Fiber-Optic cable, supporting distances of up to 100 meters, making it well-suited for a variety of industrial applications. The device is powered by a host computer that supplies a compliant PCI Express clock, adhering to specific frequency limits. The power requirements include a typical current of 550 mA and a maximum of 720 mA at +3.3 Volts, with +12 V requirements of 200 mA typical and 320 mA maximum. Designed to function optimally in temperatures ranging from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius and a storage temperature of -20 to 70 degrees Celsius, the device meets the IEC-60068-2-1 and IEC-60068-2-2 standards for environmental testing. Operating humidity levels can range from 10% to 90%, non-condensing, and storage humidity is between 5% to 95%, also non-condensing, tested under IEC-60068-2-56. Ideal for indoor use, the PCIe-8375 can be mounted at altitudes up to 2000 meters, recognizing a pollution degree of 2, and is not equipped for protection against ingress, thus unsuitable for dusty or moist environments. It complies with safety standards including IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1, ensuring safety for measurement, control, and laboratory operations. This device is also tested for electromagnetic compatibility under the EN 61326 and EN 55011 standards. Its dimensions are 3.5 inches by 2.72 inches, with a weight of 60 grams, making it both compact and efficient for remote PXI system control.
