National Instruments FP-DO-DC60 Discrete Output Module

The FP-DO-DC60 is a FieldPoint Discrete Output Module. The NI FP-DO-DC60 is manufactured by National Instruments. This Discrete Output Module is available for order under part number 778071-13. The FP-DO-DC60 is well-suited for applications that require isolation between the channels because the module offers isolation between its output channels. This Discrete Output Module is compatible with sinking as well as sourcing devices.

The NI FP-DO-DC60 can be connected to the FP-TB-10 terminal base. The FP-TB-10 can mount up to six FP-DO-DC60 modules simultaneously. A single network interface module can facilitate up to 9 FP-TB-10 models. In addition, if your application does not need channel-to-channel isolation, then you can utilize the C and V terminals on the FP-TB-10 terminal base to bus-connect power supplies to your loads.

This Discrete Output Module is an efficient dual-channel module. The channels of the FP-DO-DC60 can bear up to 2500 V without breaking the isolation. The NI FP-DO-DC60 FieldPoint module supports the voltage range from 3 – 60 VDC. The corresponding current rating of the FP-DO-DC60 depends upon the ambient temperature. The device has a maximum output delay of 0.06 ms, a power requirement of 70 mW, and a voltage drop of 1.3 V at 0.75 A.

The National Instruments FP-DO-DC60 module features two LEDs. These LEDs specify the state of each channel. When a channel is in the active state, the corresponding LED will be lit up. The LEDs installed on this Discrete Output Module are green. The channels on the National Instruments FP-DO-DC60 are also equipped with two fuses. Each channel of the module has an independent fuse. The NI FP-DO-DC60 is a fast scanning module with a scan time of 0.2 ms.

The I/O module weighs 2.1 oz, and has a field-wiring diameter of 24 to 12 AWG. It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of -40 to 70 °C and -55 to 85 °C respectively, and a non-condensing relative humidity range of 10 to 90%. The NI device is designed to comply with the following electrical safety standards: IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 3121-1, UL 61010C-1, and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1.
