CFP-DI-304

The cFP‑DI‑304 is a 32‑channel, 24 VDC sinking digital input module for the NI Compact FieldPoint distributed I/O system. It reads discrete on/off signals from industrial sensors, switches, and PLC‑style devices, with module‑to‑backplane isolation for system protection. Obsolete / EOL; recommended replacement: NI‑9425 (C‑Series, 32‑ch sinking, 7 µs).

32‑Channel 24 VDC Sinking Digital Input Module (Compact FieldPoint, EOL)

General Description

The cFP‑DI‑304 is a 32‑channel, 24 VDC sinking digital input module for the NI Compact FieldPoint distributed I/O system. It reads discrete on/off signals from industrial sensors, switches, and PLC‑style devices, with module‑to‑backplane isolation for system protection. Obsolete / EOL; recommended replacement: NI‑9425 (C‑Series, 32‑ch sinking, 7 µs).
