EMC performance is attained. Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI-9474 meets the following specifications. Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) -40 °C to 70 °C...
Connecting Digital Devices You can connect a variety of industrial devices, such as solenoids, motors, actuators, relays, and lamps to the NI-9474. You must connect an external power supply to the NI-9474. The power supply provides the current for the output channels.
Increasing Current Drive Each channel of the NI-9474 has a continuous output current of 1.0 A. If you want to increase the output current to a device, you can connect any number of channels together in parallel.
If a short circuit occurs, the current through DO can exceed the current rating for the power supply and the maximum continuous output current for the NI-9474. If the power supply you are using with the NI-9474 cannot supply more than 14 A, the module may be damaged if a short circuit condition occurs.
