{"product_id":"national-instruments-pci-232-8","title":"National Instruments PCI-232-8","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe National Instruments PCI-232\/8 Serial Interface Board (Part Number: 777642-08) is an advanced solution for asynchronous communication with instruments via eight serial ports. This plug-and-play device facilitates communication over distances of up to 50 feet and is equipped with a 68-pin SCSI connector that can be adapted to eight male DB9 connectors using an appropriate cable. The PCI-232\/8 operates without isolation and features an ESD protection capability for data lines, with a protection level of up to ±15 kV. Designed for high performance, this interface consumes a typical current of 100 mA, peaking at 180 mA, powered by +5 VDC. For its ±12 VDC power supply, the device draws between 80 mA and 800 mA. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCI-232\/8 supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows 2000, NT, XP, ME, and 9x, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation through auto-configuration. This device adopts the NI-Serial driver software and can be programmed within application development environments such as LabVIEW and LabWindows\/CVI. Dimensions of the board are 4.2 inches by 5.7 inches, with operational and storage temperature ranges of 0°C to 55°C and -20°C to 70°C respectively, alongside humidity specifications of 10% to 90% RH for operation and 5% to 95% RH for storage. The PCI-232\/8 complies with various electrical safety standards including IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1. Though classified as obsolete by National Instruments, the PCI-232\/8 remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46683848769772,"sku":"PCI-232-8","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/1112\/6600\/files\/National_Instruments_Group_Photo_-_Final_Compressed_b9d348d2-8486-481d-abf0-07e59542a4d0.jpg?v=1753243119","url":"https:\/\/www.industrialautomationco.com\/products\/national-instruments-pci-232-8","provider":"Industrial Automation Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
