National Instruments NI-6587 Digital I/O Adapter Module for FlexRIO
The NI-6587 (Part number: 781702-01) is a Digital I/O Adapter Module for FlexRIO with 20 bidirectional digital channels, 100 Ohm digital I/O termination, and 1 GHz maximum clock rate. Of the 20 bidirectional digital channels, there are 16 data channels and 4 PFI channels. This Digital I/O Adapter Module can execute user-defined protocols and perform interfacing of standard protocols in real time. The NI-6587 has a maximum date rate of 1 Gbits/s and supports regular LVDS voltages. This module was designed for industry experts who seek a mix of value and utility. The NI 6587 module does not have a duplex feature.
Data rates consistently increase as technologies evolve, calling for the expansion of the capacity of storage devices, streaming infrastructure, and processing elements. At higher data rates, the reliability of CPUs cannot be guaranteed, as its general accessibility and easy configuration processes sacrifices for real-time, continuous signal processing. By enabling the system to process data as it is being acquired or generated, load is drastically reduced on the rest of the system. This process is facilitated by the integration of an FPGA between the processor and the I/O. When the NI-6587 module is used with an NI FlexRIO FPGA Module, it is referred to as the NI-6587R.
This Digital I/O Adapter Module can interface with various signals, such as single‐ended, differential, and serial signals at different voltage levels. The user can also combine the NI 6587 module with reconfigurable FPGAs to meet a range of application requirements, including high‐speed communication with devices under test and the simulation of real-time custom protocols.

National Instruments NI-6587 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is the input protection for the PFI, CLOCK IN channels on the NI 6587?
Answer: The input protection for the PFI, CLOCK IN channels on the NI 6587 is -0.5 V to 4.6 V.
Question: Which types of front panel connectors are on the NI-6587?
Answer: The NI-6587 has two SMA connectors and one 73-pin InfiniBand front panel connector.
Question: Why can’t the SMA-2164 accessory and the SHB12X-H3X24 differential flying-lead cable be utilized with the NI 6587?
Answer: The SMA-2164 accessory and the SHB12X-H3X24 differential flying-lead cable cannot be utilized with the NI 6587 because they are not appropriately shielded for EMC-compliant use with the module.
Question: What is the signaling type for the NI-6587?
Answer: The signaling type for the NI-6587 is differential.
