For example, you can use an SCXI-1162HV
to sense the on/off state of power circuits,
proximity switches, pushbutton switches,
thermostats, or relays. The SCXI-1162

Overview
scxi1162
NI offers two optically-isolated digital input modules for SCXI, the
SCXI-1162 and the SCXI-1162HV. The SCXI-1162 has 32 channels of
optically-isolated digital inputs, arranged into eight isolated banks of
scxi1162hv
four input lines each. The SCXI-1162 interfaces to field digital logic Description
signals, such as TTL and CMOS, where high common-mode voltages
may be present. The SCXI-1162HV senses the presence of a wide

SCXI-1162 and SCXI-1162HV safely isolate the computer from the large
common-mode voltages, ground loops, and voltage spikes that often
