Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PCI-6512 provides an industrial digital output interface with 64 single-ended sourcing channels arranged in eight isolated banks. Its listed digital logic level is 24 V, with a specified output voltage range of 0 V to 30 V.

The board connects through a PCI bus and uses a SCSI-type front connection. It is output-only, with no digital input-only or bidirectional channels. Programmable power-up states and watchdog-controlled output states support configuration of output behavior during startup and computer or application faults.

64 sourcing digital output channels with a 0 V to 30 V output range.
Eight isolated channel banks with 30 VDC bank isolation.
Single-ended output signaling with a listed channel current drive of 350 mA.
Programmable power-up states configure initial output states in software.
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.

What type of outputs does the PCI-6512 provide?

It provides 64 single-ended sourcing digital outputs with a 0 V to 30 V output voltage range.

Can the PCI-6512 acquire digital inputs?

No. The listed configuration has no digital input-only channels and no bidirectional digital channels.

What bus and front connection does it use?

The PCI-6512 uses a PCI bus interface and a SCSI-type front connection. Verify the required cable and terminal connections against NI documentation.

Does it support configurable startup and fault output states?

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