National Instruments Corporation NI 9470, 8 Ch, 13 A, 5-30 VDC, Current Readback, Variable Digital Output C Series Module
The NI 9470 is an 8-channel, 13 A, 530 VDC, variable digital output C Series module designed by National Instruments for high-current switching applications. Each channel can source up to 13 A and features current readback capability, allowing users to monitor the actual current being delivered to the load for improved diagnostics and system reliability. The module is compatible with NI CompactDAQ and CompactRIO systems, providing flexible integration for industrial control, automotive, and test applications. The NI 9470 supports switching of inductive and resistive loads and is engineered for robust operation in harsh environments, with features such as channel-to-channel isolation and protection against overcurrent and short circuits. Its high-current output and current monitoring make it suitable for controlling solenoids, relays, and other high-power devices while ensuring safe and reliable operation.
