Product Description

The NI cDAQ-9178 is an 8-slot USB chassis for the CompactDAQ platform. It acts as the backbone of a modular, portable data acquisition (DAQ) system, providing the power, timing, and synchronization for up to eight C Series I/O modules. This makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of portable, benchtop, and distributed measurement applications.

Product Specifications

• Bus Connector: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed
• Number of Slots: 8 C Series module slots
• Synchronization: The chassis supports multiple data streams and is designed for synchronized measurements.
• Counters/Timers: It includes four 32-bit general-purpose counters/timers with two built-in BNC connectors for access to shared clocks and triggers.
• Input Voltage Range: 9 V to 30 V DC
• Total Available Power: 15 W
• Operating Temperature: -20 °C to 55 °C
• Dimensions: 25.4 cm × 8.81 cm × 5.89 cm (10 in. × 3.5 in. × 2.3 in.)
• Weight (unloaded): Approx. 878 g (31.0 oz)

Product Advantages

• High Channel Count in a Compact Form Factor: The cDAQ-9178’s 8-slot design allows you to create a high-channel-count, mixed-signal system in a single, portable chassis. This is perfect for applications that require a variety of sensor measurements, like temperature, voltage, and strain, at the same time.
• Modular Flexibility: The chassis is compatible with over 50 different C Series I/O modules. This gives you the flexibility to choose the exact measurements you need and easily reconfigure your system for new applications.
• Built-in Synchronization and Counters: With its built-in timing engine and BNC connectors for triggers, the cDAQ-9178 is designed for synchronized measurements across multiple modules. The four onboard counters/timers add extra functionality for frequency measurement and event counting without taking up a C Series module slot.
• USB Connectivity: The USB 2.0 interface offers a fast and convenient way to connect the chassis to a PC or laptop, making it easy to set up and start acquiring data.
• Rugged and Reliable: Designed for a wide operating temperature range and meeting specifications for shock and vibration, the cDAQ-9178 is built to withstand demanding environments.

Product Applications

The cDAQ-9178 is a versatile tool for a variety of industries and applications.

• Portable or Benchtop Systems: Its compact and rugged design makes it perfect for field testing, troubleshooting, and lab bench applications.
• Automated Test Equipment (ATE): The chassis can be integrated into automated test systems to provide a high-channel-count, modular measurement solution for a wide range of test applications.
• Scientific Research: Researchers can use the chassis to create custom data acquisition systems for experiments that require multiple sensor inputs.
• Machine Condition Monitoring: With the right C Series modules, the cDAQ-9178 can be used to monitor vibration, temperature, and other parameters on industrial machinery.

Precautions

• Power Supply: You must use a National Electric Code (NEC) Class 2 power source with the cDAQ-9178 chassis.
• Mounting: To meet its shock and vibration specifications, the chassis must be panel-mounted, and you should use a locking USB cable and wire ferrules for secure connections.
• ESD Precautions: Always handle the chassis and C Series modules in a static-safe environment to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
• Mixed-Signal Considerations: When mixing hazardous voltage circuits with human-accessible circuits, ensure that a qualified professional performs the wiring according to local electrical standards.
