NI 651x Fundamentals

The NI 6510 is a 30 V bank isolated data acquisition (DAQ) device for PCI chassis. The NI 6510
device features 32 digital input lines with digital filtering.
The NI 6511 is a 30 V bank isolated data acquisition (DAQ) device for PCI, PXI, or CompactPCI
chassis. The NI 6511 device features 64 digital input lines with digital filtering.
The NI 6512/6513 devices are 30 V bank isolated data acquisition (DAQ) devices for PCI, PXI,
or CompactPCI chassis. The NI 6512/6513 devices feature 64 unidirectional digital output lines
for sourcing (6512) and sinking (6513) current, a watchdog timer, and programmable power-up
states.
The NI 6514/6515 devices are 30 V bank isolated data acquisition (DAQ) devices for PCI, PXI,
or CompactPCI chassis. The NI 6514/6515 devices feature 32 digital input lines and 32 digital
output lines for sourcing (6514) and sinking (6515) current, a watchdog timer, digital filtering,
and programmable power-up states.
The NI 6516/6517 devices are 30 V bank isolated data acquisition (DAQ) devices for PCI
chassis. The NI 6516/6517 devices feature 32 unidirectional digital output lines for sourcing
(6516) and sinking (6517) current, a watchdog timer, and programmable power-up states.
The NI 6518/6519 devices are 30 V bank isolated data acquisition (DAQ) devices for PCI
chassis. The NI 6518/6519 devices feature 16 digital input lines and 16 digital output lines for
sourcing (6518) and sinking (6519) current, a watchdog timer, digital filtering, and
programmable power-up states.

NI 651x Configuration

The NI 651x devices are completely software configurable, so it is not necessary to set jumpers
for I/O configuration.
The PCI-651x devices are fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2,
and the PXI-6511/6512/6513/6514/6515 devices are fully compliant with the PXI Hardware
Specification, Revision 2.1. The PCI/PXI system automatically allocates all device resources,
including the base address and interrupt level. The NI 651x base address is mapped into PCI
memory space. It is not necessary to perform configuration steps after the system powers up.
Refer to the application software documentation for configuration instructions.
After the NI 651x device and the software are installed, the DAQ device appears under the
Devices and Interfaces branch of the MAX configuration tree.
