Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PCI-6509 adds 96 bidirectional digital channels to a PCI-based computer system. Each port can be configured for input or output, and outputs do not require an external power supply.

Programmable input filters help reject glitches and debounce digital switches and relays. Programmable power-up states and digital I/O watchdogs provide configurable output behavior during startup and computer or application faults.

96 bidirectional digital channels with port-level input or output configuration.
5 V TTL/CMOS digital I/O with 24 mA current drive.
Outputs operate without an external power supply and can directly drive external digital devices such as solid-state relays.
Programmable input filters help eliminate glitches and spikes and debounce switches and relays.
Programmable power-up states set initial output behavior.
Digital I/O watchdogs can switch outputs to a configurable safe state following a computer or application fault.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

How many digital channels does the PCI-6509 provide?

It provides 96 bidirectional digital channels and has no dedicated input-only channels. Each port can be configured for input or output.

What bus does the PCI-6509 use?

The PCI-6509 uses a PCI bus connection. It should not be confused with the PXI-6509 mentioned in the legacy catalog description.

Do the outputs require an external power supply?

No external power supply is required for the device's outputs. Check the documented electrical limits before connecting a load.

Does the PCI-6509 support startup and fault output states?

Yes. Programmable power-up states define initial output states, and digital I/O watchdogs can switch outputs to a configurable safe state after a computer or application fault.
