It is compatible with TTL, CMOS, and 5 V digital logic levels. You can individually configure each port of eight lines for input or output. You can drive external digital devices, such as solidstate relays (SSRs), with current up to 24 mA per line using power available over USB. In bus-powered mode, the USB-6509 can source up to 215 mA total across all digital output lines. Use the optional 12 VDC power supply for additional sourcing current. A USB-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 device directly to a wide array of 5 V electronic devices, sensors, and actuators. Industrial digital I/O devices are designed to incorporate the latest hardware technologies for applications requiring ease of use, high reliability, and performance. The USB-6509 takes advantage of NI-DAQmx measurement services software to speed up application development with features such as the DAQ Assistant, automatic code generation, and high-performance multithreaded streaming technology. • Programmable power-up states provide safe operation when connected to pumps/valves/motors/relays • Digital I/O watchdogs detect computer or application crashes and ensure safe recovery • Change-detection triggers your application and performs a read operation 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 Using programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial USB-6509 output states in software to ensure consistent, reliable operation when connected to industrial actuators such as pumps, valves, motors, and relays. A USB-6509 holds these output states after receiving power, so your computer can boot and your software application can begin running. Programmable power-up states are glitch-free, meaning the outputs never go through an incorrect state during power up. You can configure each digital line as high-impedance-input, high-output, or low-output. A USB-6509 stores the settings in onboard nonvolatile memory and implements the power-up states instantaneously after power is applied to the device. Hardware Industrial Feature Set NI industrial digital I/O devices offer a set of high-reliability features designed to automate even the most demanding applications. High-Density Industrial Digital I/O for USB – 96-Channel, 5 V TTL/CMOS Detect and Recover with Digital I/O Watchdogs Digital I/O watchdogs are an innovative technology that can detect a variety of fault conditions such as an application crash and automatically respond by setting the outputs to a user-configured safe state. Watchdogs are important whenever the module is connected to actuators such as pumps, valves, motors, and relays. A USB-6509 monitors the software application; if the application fails to respond within a preset time limit, the device automatically sets the output lines to a user-defined safe state. A USB-6509 remains in the watchdog state until the watchdog timer is disarmed, the device is reset, or the computer is restarted. 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. These features are important for applications in 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. The USB-6509 blocks any digital noise, glitch, or spike that is shorter than half of the specified filter time, preventing invalid readings and false triggers for change-detection events. Recommended Software National Instruments measurement services software, built around NI-DAQmx driver software, includes intuitive application programming interfaces, configuration tools, I/O assistants, and other tools designed to reduce system setup, configuration, and development time. National Instruments recommends using the latest version of NI-DAQmx driver software for application development in NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. To obtain the latest version of NI-DAQmx, visit ni.com/support/daq/versions. NI measurement services software speeds up your development with features including: • A guide to create fast and accurate measurements with no programming using the DAQ Assistant • Free LabVIEW SignalExpress LE data-logging software • Automatic code generation to create your application in LabVIEW; LabWindows/CVI; LabVIEW SignalExpress; and Visual Studio .NET, ANSI C/C++, C#, or Visual Basic 6.0 • Multithreaded technology for 1,000 times performance improvements over basic DAQ driver software • More than 3,000 free software downloads to jump-start your project at ni.com/zone The USB-6509 is compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software: LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio versions 7.x; or LabVIEW SignalExpress 2.5. The USB-6509 is not compatible with the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver. 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 module generates an interrupt to automatically wake up your application. Using NI-DAQmx software technology, the USB-6509 notifies the software application when it detects an event, causing the application to automatically perform a read operation. To minimize the effects of noisy input lines, use programmable input filters in combination with change detection to eliminate spurious change-detection events caused by noise or glitches.
