National Instruments NI-9208 C Series Current Input Module
National Instruments created the NI-9208 (Part Numbers: 785041-01, 780968-01, 780968-02) Current Input Module to meet the requirements of demanding data acquisition applications in industrial systems. Its sample rate of 500 S/s (for high speed mode) and 24-bit resolution, together with its 16 current input channels, ensure accurate measurements in difficult conditions.
With two connector options, DSUB (part number 780968-01) and Spring Terminal (part number 785041-01), the NI-9208 offers a flexible connectivity solution. Its high-channel density minimizes module count, optimizing system cost and leaving room for additional measurements. The module has an input range of ±20 mA and may isolate the channel from the ground at 250 Vrms (spring terminal) or 60 VDC (DSUB).
The NI-9208 is made to endure extreme temperatures; it can function in a range of 40 to 70 degrees Celsius and can tolerate 5 g of vibration. Numerous industrial applications can benefit from its robust build and compact form factor. Equipped with Delta-Sigma ADC technology, the module ensures accurate data acquisition with minimal noise interference. Its input noise levels are low, with 50 nA RMS in high-resolution mode and 200 nA RMS in high-speed mode, enhancing signal fidelity..
High-resolution mode (52 ms per channel) and high-speed mode (2 ms per channel) are the two sampling modes available with the NI-9208. On specific channels, it additionally offers overvoltage protection up to ±30 V. For power efficiency, the module consumes a maximum of 282 mW in active mode and 25 μW in sleep mode, with corresponding thermal dissipation values of 1.29 W and 0.72 W at 70 °C.
With a weight of 144 g (5.1 oz) with DSUB and 161 g (5.7 oz) with a spring terminal, the NI-9208 module is lightweight and easy to integrate into current systems. Its IP40 ingress protection and Pollution Degree 2 rating ensure reliability even in challenging industrial environments. The NI-9208 provides flexible measurement, control, and communication capabilities and is interoperable with NI's wide selection of C Series modules. It facilitates smooth integration and scalability in industrial automation settings with hot-swappable capabilities and support across the CompactRIO and CompactDAQ platforms.

National Instruments NI-9208 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Which accessories are necessary for operating the NI-9208 module?
Answer: To operate the Current Input module, the user needs the NI-9940 Backshell for a 36-position Spring Terminal Connector.
Question: How long is the calibration interval for the NI-9208?
Answer: The recommended calibration interval is 2 years.
Question: Can you create a customized cable to use with the Current Input Module?
Answer: Yes, you can create a customized cable that plugs directly into the NI-9208 and removes the necessity for an individual terminal block.
Question: What are the guidelines for connection to the NI-9208?
Answer: The connection guidelines include ensuring that instruments linked to the NI-9208 are compatible with the module specifications, utilizing 2-wire ferrules to make a safe link when linking more than a single wire to one terminal on the spring terminal connectors, and pushing the wire into the terminal when utilizing a solid wire or a stranded wire with a ferrule. Additionally, the user must open the terminal with the push button when utilizing stranded wire without a ferrule.
