National Instruments NI-9204 Analog Input Module for CompactRIO and CompactDAQ

The NI-9204 is an Analog Input Module for CompactRIO and CompactDAQ systems. It falls under the category of Data Acquisition (DAQ) Modules (C Series) and is used specifically for voltage measurement applications. 

High-performance analog input modules are designed to work with CompactRIO and CompactDAQ systems. The NI-9204 delivers accurate and dependable data acquisition for a variety of applications by providing 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels with a 16-bit ADC resolution. To meet various measurement requirements, the module accepts input voltage ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±1 V, and ±0.2 V.

The NI-9204 is available with two connector types: push-in style spring terminal and DSUB. The separate connector type options allow easier integration into a variety of setups. The module also features overvoltage protection up to ±30 V and common-mode rejection (CMRR) of 100 dB.

The NI-9204, which is made for tough and industrial settings, can work in a broad temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C and can tolerate high vibration and shock levels. It uses very little power—up to 625 mW while in active mode. The module is perfect for monitoring applications in industries like research labs, industrial automation, aerospace, and defense.

National Instruments NI-9204 Analog Input Module Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do I install and configure the NI-9204 in a CompactDAQ or CompactRIO system?

Answer: To install the NI-9204, insert the module into a CompactDAQ or CompactRIO chassis and secure it properly. Connect your analog input signals to the push-in spring terminals or DSUB connector based on your configuration needs. The module is compatible with NI-DAQmx software, which allows users to calibrate, acquire data, and configure channels easily through LabVIEW or other NI-supported platforms.

Question: What types of signals can the NI-9204 measure, and how should they be connected?

Answer: The NI-9204 supports differential, single-ended referenced (RSE), and non-referenced single-ended (NRSE) measurements. For higher accuracy and reduced noise, differential connections are recommended. It is designed to measure DC voltage signals, making it suitable for sensor monitoring, industrial process control, and automated testing applications.

Question: What are the calibration and maintenance requirements for the NI-9204?

​​​​​​​Answer: 
To ensure high accuracy, National Instruments recommends calibrating the NI-9204 every two years. The module features factory-calibrated scaling coefficients stored in EEPROM, but users can perform self-calibration via NI-DAQmx. Regular inspection of signal connections and adherence to temperature and environmental specifications will help maintain optimal performance.​​​​​​​
