Table 1. C Series Analog Output Modules Selection Guide
Overview
flexibility of a custom electrical circuit completely dedicated to your
input/output application. The reconfigurable FPGA hardware within
CompactRIO provides a variety of options for timing, triggering,
synchronization, change detection, digital pattern matching, or digital
communication. For instance, with CompactRIO you can implement a
circuit to generate complex arbitrary waveforms, perform filtering or
splining to generate a smooth output signal based on a choppy low-
speed output command, simulate a nonlinear sensor, or implement
amplitude/phase modulation.
High-performance analog output modules for National Instruments
CompactRIO embedded systems, R Series expansion chassis, and
NI CompactDAQ provide accurate signal generations. Each module
features built-in signal conditioning and an integrated connector with
screw terminal or cable options for flexible and low-cost signal wiring.
All modules feature the NI CompactRIO Extreme Industrial Certifications
and Ratings.
System Compatibility
Key Features
You can use NI C Series modules in multiple system types depending
on available software. Please see the table above for CompactRIO and
NI CompactDAQ module compatibility because not all modules work
with both systems. Many of the advanced features described apply
only to reconfigurable I/O systems and not to NI CompactDAQ.
• High-performance analog output signal generation for CompactRIO
embedded system, R Series expansion chassis, or NI CompactDAQ
• Screw terminals, strain relief, high-voltage, and cable options
• NI CompactRIO Extreme Industrial Certifications and Ratings
• Channel-to-earth ground double-isolation barrier for safety
and noise immunity
Advanced Features
Advanced features include ±±3 ꢀ overvoltage protection and short-circuit
protection, simultaneous 16-bit per-channel digital-to-analog converters
(DACs), high-speed settling, excellent monotonicity and NIST-traceable
calibration. The NI 926x modules include a channel-to-earth ground double-
isolation barrier for safety and noise immunity. The NI 9265 provides high-
performance, 3 to 23 mA analog outputs ideal for controlling industrial
pressure, flow, and position actuators. The NI 9265 requires a 9 to ±6 ꢀ
external power supply for driving the output current of the module.
When used in CompactRIO, C Series analog output modules connect
directly to reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA hardware to create high-
performance embedded systems hat deliver the optimization and
