National Instruments PCI-6120

The National Instruments PCI-6120 Multifunction I/O Device (Part Number: 778397-01) is a high-performance data acquisition solution designed to meet the needs of various industrial applications. This full-length module is specifically engineered for synchronization of analog input, output, and digital channels, making it ideal for stimulus/response tasks. The PCI-6120 features four 16-bit analog input channels with a maximum sampling rate of 800 kS/s and simultaneous sampling capabilities, accommodating both AC and DC coupling while withstanding input overvoltage up to 42 V without risk of damage.

Additionally, the device is equipped with a 32 MS FIFO buffer and a software-activatable 5-pole Bessel filter, allowing for precision signal processing with a cutoff frequency of 100 kHz. For signal output, the PCI-6120 provides two 16-bit analog output channels with a voltage range of +10V, incorporating short-circuit protection. The device also includes eight programmable digital I/O channels with a buffer size of 2,048 bits and a transfer rate of 10 Mwords/s, fully compatible with TTL/CMOS standards. Furthermore, it has two 24-bit counters/timers operating at base frequencies of 20 MHz and 100 kHz, enhancing its overall capability.

The PCI-6120 connects via a 68-pin male SCSI II type connector and requires a power supply of +5 VDC at 2.0 A. Its dimensions are 12.3 in by 4.2 in, and it is supported by NI-DAQmx and the Measurement & Automation Explorer configuration utility. A warranty period of 2-3 years backs this device, and user manuals are available for download. Although the PCI-6120 has entered the NI Maintenance phase as of March 31, 2022, it remains available for purchase through Apex Waves. Contact a sales representative today for a quote.
