Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

This cable family forms the connection between NI 951x C Series drive interface modules and AKD servo drives in NI motion-control systems.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Does the 951x name identify a single cable part number?

No. NI lists 781524-01 for NI 9514/9516 and 781525-01 for NI 9512. The supplied record does not identify which is represented.

What cable length does NI document?

NI lists a length of 2.5 m for both the NI 9514/16 to AKD and NI 9512 to AKD cable variants.

What connectors are documented for the NI 9514/16 variant?

NI describes a 15-pin DSUB, 20-pin MDR, X8 10-pin connector, X9 9-pin DSUB, X1 3-pin power connection, and 20-pin screw-terminal connector. These details apply to the NI 9514/16 cable, not automatically to every 951x variant.
