PXI-6513

The PXI‑6513 is an industrial digital output interface with eight banks of isolated channels. With programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial output states in software to ensure safe operation when connected to industrial actuators. If a computer or application fault occurs, the PXI‑6513 can use digital I/O watchdogs to switch to a configurable safe output state to ensure detection and safe recovery from fault conditions.
