Description
National Instruments (NI) 779205-01 is a USB-6501 portable, bus-powered USB digital I/O device that provides reliable data acquisition and control at a low price.
The NI USB-6501 (779205-01) is a portable, bus-powered USB digital I/O device, providing reliable data acquisition and control at a low price. The device provides overvoltage protection its digital I/O lines and a 32-bit counter. With plug-and-play USB connectivity, the USB-6501 is simple enough for home and academic applications, but robust and versatile enough for laboratory and industrial applications.
The 779205-01 device has an absolute maximum voltage rating for each I/O line that is -0.5 V to 5.8 V concerning GND. It has an input logic high voltage ranging from 2.0V to 5.8 V while an input logic low voltage ranging from −0.3 V to 0.8 V. Its output logic high voltage ranges from 2.8 V to 3.6 V while the output logic low voltage is 0.4 V at 2 mA and 0.8 V at 8.5 mA.
This device is designed to operate at an ambient temperature of 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius with operating humidity of 5% to 90% RH, noncondensing and storage temperature of –40 to 85 degrees Celsius with a storage relative humidity of 5% to 90%, noncondensing. It is designed to be used for indoor use only and requires to be installed at a maximum altitude of 2,000 meters with a pollution degree of 2. The 779205-01 device has a compact structure with physical dimensions of 8.18 cm × 8.51 cm × 2.31 cm (3.22 in. × 3.35 in. × 0.91 in.) with the I/O connector and 6.35 cm × 8.51 cm × 2.31 cm (2.50 in. × 3.35 in. × 0.91 in.) without the connector. It has a weight of 84 g (3 oz) making it lightweight and easy to handle. It has a USB series B receptacle connector and 16 position screw terminal I/O connector.
The 779205-01 is compliant with several safety standards such as the IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1 with electromagnetic compatibility including EN 61326 (IEC 61326) and EN 55011, allowing this device to operate safely in industrial environments with challenging conditions without affecting the overall performance of the module.
