(cRIO) module for driving low and high impedance Port Fuel Injectors (PFI) and general purpose automotive solenoid valves and actuators. The NI 9758 includes a LabVIEW FPGA VI for controlling each driver channel. Each PFI channel is individually controlled for timing and duration.
Typical power sources will be from automotive 12 V or 24 V battery systems. The NI 9758 can accept power from 7 V to 32 V. The NI 9758 requires a maximum of 100 mA from an external power supply. When actuators and injectors are connected to and powered from the same power supply as the NI 9758, a battery or power supply capable of 10 A continuous output will be required under a full load.
• Maintain an ambient system operating temperature of 0 °C to 45 °C. Typical specifications of National Instruments modules might not apply when Note used in a system with NI Powertrain Control modules. National Instruments guarantees warranted specifications for all National...

The NI 9758 has two phases of current control. The maximum phase current is 4 A. Control can be set to transition from the first to the second phase after a set time or immediately when the first current level is reached. To drive low impedance injectors, set the first phase peak current to 4 A and the second phase hold current to 1 A.

Do not attempt to drive low impedance injectors with the general purpose Caution low-side switch drivers. The low-side drivers are only rated for 1.2 A continuous. The resulting higher current levels could damage the low-side drivers. 6 | ni.com | NI 9758 User Manual...
