NI CDAQ-9188XT Ethernet Chassis

1. Product Detailed Description

The cDAQ-9188XT serves as a high-performance, distributed data acquisition hub. It connects to a host PC via Gigabit Ethernet, allowing for remote measurements up to 100 meters away without specialized cabling.

It houses up to eight C Series I/O modules, which are hot-swappable and provide integrated signal conditioning for sensors like thermocouples, strain gages, and accelerometers. A standout feature of the 9188XT is the onboard watchdog timer, which provides a fail-safe mechanism to move outputs to a known safe state if the network connection is lost.

3. Product Advantages

• Extreme Ruggedness: Specifically designed for “in-vehicle” or “outdoor” testing, withstanding a wider temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) than the standard cDAQ-9188.

• Safety Features: The Watchdog Timer is a critical advantage for remote systems, ensuring that motors or valves are shut down safely if communication drops.

• Simplified Connectivity: Standard Ethernet allows for easy integration into existing corporate networks or dedicated local measurement subnets.

• Simultaneous Data Tasks: With 3 independent AI timing engines, you can run multiple acquisition tasks at different rates simultaneously.

• Flexible I/O: Supports over 50 different NI C Series modules for almost any sensor type.

4. Cautions & Precautions

• Power Supply: You must use a UL Listed ITE power supply. Ensure the power source is within the 9V to 30V range to avoid damaging the internal regulators.

• Mounting Requirements: To achieve the maximum 70°C operating temperature, the chassis must be mounted horizontally to a metal panel or heat sink as specified in the manual.

• Module Compatibility: While the chassis is rugged, ensure the specific C Series modules you insert are also rated for your target temperature range (some modules are only rated to 55°C).

• Cabling: Use shielded Ethernet cables (Cat5e or Cat6) in high-EMI environments to prevent data loss or interference.

5. Product Applications

The cDAQ-9188XT is ideal for distributed systems that require high reliability in harsh locations:

• Automotive Testing: In-vehicle data logging for cold-weather or high-heat desert testing.

• Oil & Gas: Remote monitoring of wellheads or pipeline equipment where temperatures fluctuate wildly.

• Aerospace: Structural health monitoring and engine test stands.

• Industrial Automation: Distributed factory floor measurements where the chassis is mounted directly on heavy machinery.
