National Instruments USB-6509 Digital I/O Device

The NI USB-6509 (Part Number: 779975-01) is a Digital I/O Device by National Instruments. The USB 6509 has 96 bidirectional digital input/output channels. This device is built to perform at the industrial level. This device can detect uncertain changes. This Digital I/O Device incorporates filters and timers. This module has an optional supply to fulfill its power needs. The supply of this power is used for extra sourcing current. The amount of the current drive for sink or source goes up to 24 mA.

The NI USB 6509 is an impressive device, which can be utilized for many applications. Data logging is one of the applications. It also provides measurements for sensors and works for mobile applications. This device also includes technology for signal streaming, which allows the data transfer across USB at high streaming rates–it is equipped with a USB 2.0 Hi-speed or full speed bus interface. This device also offers the conditioning of signals.

The USB 6509 device is run the NI-DAQ driver software which is compatible with software packages/application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Visual Basic, and ANSI C. The NI device is equipped with a 100-pin high density female 0.050 SCSI I/O connector for digital transmission; which is compatible with the R1005050 ribbon and SH100-100-F shielded cables.

The USB 6509 National Instruments has a fuse, which provides protection in case of overcurrent. This Digital I/O Device offers an input voltage. The range of this voltage is from 4.5 V to 5.25 V. This input voltage range is available in the configured state. The size of current in NO load condition is 150 mA maximum. The amount of current in the maximum load condition is 500 mA. The typical value of the suspending current is 250 µA. The value of the input current is 1 A maximum. The approximate weight of the National Instruments NI USB- 6509 is 239 grams, and it measures 7.0 x 4.1 x 1.3 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, and a storage temperature range of –40 to 85 °C.
