  • Page 2 This document describes how to use the National Instruments 9235 and National Instruments 9236 and includes specifications and terminal assignments. In this document, the NI 9235 and NI 9236 are referred to inclusively as the NI 9235/9236. Visit and enter ni.com/info...

  • Page 3: Safety Guidelines For Hazardous Locations

    Touching this component may result in bodily injury. Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The NI 9235/9236 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4, and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only.
  • Page 4 II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. If you are using the NI 9235/9236 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations or in ambient temperatures of –40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.

  • Page 9 Wiring for High-Vibration Applications If an application is subject to high vibration, National Instruments recommends that you use the NI 9965 backshell kit to protect the connections. Refer to Figure 4 for an illustration of the NI 9965 connector backshell.
  • Page 10 You must connect each EXC terminal to only one gage to maintain the channel-to-channel crosstalk performance of the module. Each channel on the NI 9235/9236 has an independent 24-bit ADC and input amplifier that enables you to sample signals from all eight channels simultaneously.

  • Page 12 NI 9236 Figure 6. Input Circuitry for One Channel of the NI 9236 The NI 9235/9236 also includes filters to prevent aliasing. The filters on the NI 9235/9236 filter according to the sampling rate. Refer to the Understanding NI 9235/9236 Filtering section for more information about filtering.

  • Page 13: Shunt Calibration

    Refer to the software help for information about enabling the shunt calibration switch for the NI 9235/9236. Each input channel has a unique shunt calibration resistor that can operate independently, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

  • Page 14: Excitation Voltage

    Excitation Voltage The NI 9235/9236 provides a constant excitation supply voltage to each channel. The excitation supply provides sufficient output current to power all eight channels at minimum resistance. The excitation supply retains regulation even if one channel experiences a gage short.
  • Page 15 The small amount of variation in gain with respect to frequency is called the passband flatness. The digital filters of the NI 9235/9236 adjust the frequency range of the passband to match the data rate. Therefore, the amount of gain or attenuation at a given frequency depends on the data rate.

  • Page 17 Alias-Free Bandwidth Any signal that appears in the alias-free bandwidth of the NI 9235/9236 is not an aliased artifact of signals at a higher frequency. The alias-free bandwidth is defined by the ability of the filter to reject frequencies above the stopband frequency and equals the data rate minus the stopband frequency.
  • Page 18 7.143 kS/s, and so on down to 794 S/s, depending on the value of n. When using an external timebase with a frequency other than 12.8 MHz, the NI 9235/9236 has a different set of data rates. The cRIO-9151 R Series Expansion chassis does Note not support sharing timebases between modules.
