National Instruments 784570-01 Embedded Direct Injector Control and Measurement Device

Part number 784570-01 from National Instruments is the descriptive part number for the DCM-2316 Embedded Direct Injector Control and Measurement Device. A unique device from the NI catalog of products, the 784570-01 is specially designed to regulate and measure the direct injectors found, for example, within combustion engines. Boasting a speed of 667 MHz, the Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGA included on the device is reconfigurable and versatile. 560 KB of embedded block RAM ensures plenty of space for applications of all sizes.

The 784570-01 utilizes an internal coin cell battery that maintains the real-time clock of the device. When connected to power, this battery has a typical lifespan of 10 years. When stored in an average temperature of 55 °C, this lifespan is expected to be 5.7 years.

Physically, the 784570-01 is flexible with how it is set up within a testing system. It is both rack- and panel-mountable, providing secure connections in multiple configurations. For rack-mounting, the chassis must be a standard 19 inch chassis, while panel-mounting must be set up on a clean, flat surface with the connector facing either up or out. With dimensions of 19 in X 8.7 in X 4.4 in (48.3 cm X 22.1 cm X 11.2 cm) and a weight of 16.60 lbs (7.5 kg), these mounting options provided extra stability during operation.

The 784570-01 is built to withstand a variety of environment conditions. It operates best under a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C with an noncondensing operating humidity of 10% RH to 90% RH. When not in use, the device can tolerate storage temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 85 °C with a noncondensing humidity of 5% RH to 95% RH.
