V. Core Functions
64-channel isolation + 350 mA high current: Single card drives 64 24 V relays / SSR / indicators, no external driver required, group-to-group isolation to resist ground current and high-voltage interference NI.
Industrial-grade safety mechanism: Watchdog + programmable power-on + change detection, software crash automatic protection, default safe state upon power-on, avoiding equipment misoperation NI.
Wide voltage compatibility + source output: 0–30 V compatible with global 24 V industrial standard, ** source output (Source) ** directly drives PNP-type loads, wiring simple.
High-density single slot: 64-channel 3U single slot, saves chassis slots, suitable for large-scale actuator control array.
Strong anti-interference isolation: 250 Vrms group-to-group isolation, prevents high voltage from entering the PXI system, protects equipment and personnel safety.
VI. Application Scenarios
Industrial automation control: PLC expansion DO, 24 V relay / contactor control, valve / motor start-stop, SSR drive.
Power and energy systems: High-voltage switch cabinet closing and opening control, circuit breaker / disconnect switch drive, relay protection execution circuit.
Automotive electronic testing: Body control module (BCM) load drive, vehicle lights / wipers / door lock actuators control.
ATE and test system: Large-scale relay matrix control, PCB test fixture drive, safety interlock execution. Railway / Ship Control: Vehicle-mounted / Ship-mounted actuators, door control / lighting / alarm outputs, control in strong interference environments.
VII. Usage and Maintenance Instructions
Installation and Power On
Disconnect the power supply card, ensure the chassis is reliably grounded; power on and NI-DAQmx self-checks, no preheating required.
Operating Temperature: 0–55℃. Keep the air ducts unobstructed and avoid overloading due to high temperatures.
Wiring and Operation
Avoid frequent plugging and unplugging of the 100-pin interface; it is recommended to use the CB-100 isolation wiring box for intermediate connection.
Output Voltage: **≤30 V**, Current per channel: **≤350 mA**, Do not short circuit; use shielded twisted pair for long distances, keep away from strong electricity / motors.
Watchdog Timeout Time: Set according to safety requirements (100–500 ms), ensuring rapid response to faults.
Daily Maintenance
Keep the interface clean, prevent dust accumulation during long-term inactivity; no calibration required, regularly check the tightness of connection terminals.
Isolation Layer: Conduct regular insulation tests (250 Vrms/1 minute) to ensure isolation performance.
