The PXIe-8521 (Part Numbers: 786771-01,147673B-02L ) is a PXI Automotive Ethernet Interface Module. The PXIe-8521 module is a module created by National Instruments. The NI PXIe-8521 module is launched with part numbers 786771-01 and 147673B-02L. The PXIe-8521 module belongs to the family of products made for PXI Express bus slots by NI. National Instruments created the NI-XNET driver software for developing applications with this module. The NI PXIe-8521 module is assembled with 4 ports.

The NI PXIe-8521 is a 100BASE-T1 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) PXI Automotive Ethernet Interface Module. The NI PXIe-8521 is perfect for developing applications that involve Automotive Ethernet to validate and assess automotive electronic control units (ECUs). This Automotive Ethernet Interface Module supports a maximum of four independent endpoints. The NI PXIe-8521 module can additionally support a maximum of 2 network terminal access points.

The National Instruments PXIe-8521 PXI Automotive Ethernet Interface Module is produced with many useful features, such as onboard hardware timestamping. The front panel of the PXIe-8521 module is equipped with several LED indicators, which allow the user to monitor the network link and activity. This module also can act as a maximum of four individual 802.1AS masters or slaves. This feature enables the module to synchronize with an external network and the remainder of a PXI system. The NI PXIe-8521 is manufactured as a Gen 2 x4 PXI Express, rev 1.0 compliant module. The PXIe-8521 contains Weidmuller BLF 3.50, 3-position I/O connectors. The NI PXIe-8521 module is built with a network tap latency of 1.73 μs.
