NI 6509 Specifications Overview Overview and Applications NI 6509 devices are industrial 96-channel digital I/O interfaces for PCI and PXI systems. They are compatible with TTL, CMOS, and 5 V digital logic levels. An NI 6509 has 96 bidirectional digital I/O lines with highcurrent-drive capabilities (24 mA), and is completely jumper-free. With an NI 6509, you can input and output at 5 VDC digital levels and directly drive external digital devices such as solid-state relays (SSRs) with current up to 24 mA per channel. You can configure each port individually for input or output, and no external power supply is required for outputs. An NI 6509 is ideal for general-purpose data acquisition applications, as well as industrial control and automated manufacturing test. With high current drive, you can connect the digital I/O module directly to a wide array of 5 V electronic devices, sensors, and actuators. These devices offer superior features and high value for industrial control and manufacturing test applications such as factory automation, embedded machine control, and production line verification. They have been designed to incorporate the latest hardware technologies and provide innovative features for applications requiring ease of use, high reliability, and performance. NI 6509 devices take advantage of NI-DAQmx measurement services software (7.1 or later) to speed up application development with many helpful features including the DAQ Assistant, automatic code generation, and high-performance multithreaded streaming technology. Hardware High-Reliability Industrial Feature Set NI 6509 devices offer a set of high-reliability features designed to automate even the most demanding applications: • Programmable power-up states provide safe operation when connected to pumps, valves, motors, and relays • Digital I/O watchdogs detect computer or application errors and ensure safe recovery • Change detection triggers your application and returns I/O data after a digital event with minimal processor usage • Programmable input filters eliminate glitches/spikes and remove noise Glitch-Free Startup with Programmable Power-Up States With programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial NI 6509 output states in software to ensure glitch-free operations when connected to industrial actuators such as pumps, valves, motors, and relays. An NI 6509 holds these I/O states after receiving power, so your computer can boot and your software application can begin running. The programmable power-up states are glitch-free, meaning the outputs never go through an incorrect state during power up. You can configure digital lines as high-impedance input, high output, or low output. The digital I/O device stores the settings in onboard nonvolatile memory and implements the power-up states automatically after power is applied to the device. Low-Cost Industrial Digital I/O – 5 V TTL/CMOS Voltage Supervisor 4245-0 4245-1 4245-2 4245-3 4245-4 I/O Connector 4245-5 Voltage Regulator Oscillator Flash Bus Switch 96 DIO 96 DIO FPGA Data Control 96 DIO MiniMITE 1 96 DIO 4245-6 4245-7 4245-8 4245-9 4245-10 4245-11 CPLD Figure 1. NI 6509 Hardware Block Diagram Detect and Recover with Digital I/O Watchdogs NI digital I/O watchdogs provide protection against a wide variety of fault conditions: • Computer crash – total OS crash • Application crash – software application ceases to respond • Driver crash – device driver ceases to respond • PCI bus failure – communications cease to respond With watchdogs, the digital outputs go to a safe state when a fault condition is detected and the watchdog timer expires for safe recovery. Watchdogs are important whenever the device is connected to actuators such as pumps, valves, motors, and relays. The digital I/O device monitors the software application and, if it fails to respond within the time limit, automatically sets the output lines to a user-defined safe state. The device remains in the watchdog state until the watchdog timer is disarmed by the application and new I/O values are written, an NI 6509 is reset, or the computer is restarted. input lines, you can use programmable input filters in combination with change detection to eliminate spurious change detection events caused by noise or glitches. NI-DAQmx also includes multithreaded streaming technology so digital change detection events can occur independently of other data acquisition activities such as analog input or output events. Eliminate Noise with Programmable Input Filters Programmable input filters remove noise, glitches, and spikes on inputs, as well as provide debouncing for digital switches and relays. This is important for applications in noisy industrial environments to prevent false readings caused by noise. You can configure the programmable input filter for each digital line by setting the filter time in seconds. Any digital noise, glitch, or spike that is shorter than half of the specified filter time is blocked by the digital I/O device, preventing invalid readings and false triggers for change detection events. Software NI-DAQmx Software Technology NI 6509 devices require NI-DAQmx 7.1 or later. NI-DAQmx software, included free with an NI 6509, is available for download from ni.com/downloads. With NI-DAQmx 7.1 or later, you can use your NI digital I/O device in LabVIEW, ANSI C, Microsoft Visual C++, and the Microsoft .NET languages C# and Visual Basic .NET. With NI-DAQmx technology, you have access to the full functionality and state-of-the-art hardware technology of your NI 6509 digital I/O devices. NI-DAQmx technology speeds up your development with many features such as automatic code generation to make configuration and programming easy. NI 6509 devices take full advantage of key NI-DAQmx Trigger Your Application with Change Detection With change detection, you can automatically trigger your software application to perform a digital read operation upon a digital change of state. A digital change of state is defined as the rising edge (0 to 1 transition) or falling edge (1 to 0 transition) on one or more digital lines. Using change detection, you can monitor for digital events with minimal processor usage. No polling is necessary because the digital I/O device generates an interrupt to automatically wake up your application. Using NI-DAQmx software technology, an NI 6509 notifies the software application when the event is detected, causing the application to automatically perform a read operation.
