National Instruments cFP-PG-522 Digital Output Module for Compact FieldPoint

The cFP-PG-522 (Part number: 777318-522) is a pulse generation Digital Output Module by National Instruments. This module has 8 pulse generation output terminals. Each terminal can produce finite or continuous pulse trains. The pulse trains help control the external circuits and have a programmable duty cycle and frequency. The duty cycle is controlled through entering the low and high times for the channel. The NI cFP-PG-522 has eight terminals. They are all integrated as common terminals (COM). This module is also structured with power connections. There are sixteen such connections, which enable the module to power devices for field applications.

The cFP-PG-522 has 3 internal time-bases: 1 s, 10 s, and 100 s. The module also is featured with an LED per channel. The LED indicates the pulse generation by the channel. The software helps direct and drop finite pulse trains. It also provides the balance pulses. Moreover, it reads the output state of the channel. The NI cFP-PG-522 is generally used to provide the precise pulse train for gauge control and frequency measurement. It is also workable for stepper motor control. The module has built-in diagnostics to enable the module to certify trouble-free connection and maintenance.

The NI cFP-PG-522 has a hot-swappable feature. This feature makes the setup and connection simple. This feature is also recognized and perceived by the configuration software. The cFP-PG-522 is structured with optical bank isolation. It has 2300 Vrms of interruption isolation. It has the maximum frequency of 5 KHz. It is not accessible with the channel to channel isolation. The module fulfills the safety standards for electrical equipment. These standards are compulsory for control, measurement, and laboratory purposes.
