Product Introduction
Земля NI cDAQ-9134 is a rugged four-slot CompactDAQ controller designed for standalone data acquisition, industrial monitoring, automated testing, and distributed measurement applications. It combines an embedded Intel Atom processor, local storage, industrial communication interfaces, and support for interchangeable NI C Series modules in one compact system.
Unlike USB or Ethernet CompactDAQ chassis that require a continuously connected host computer, the cDAQ-9134 can execute measurement, logging, analysis, and control applications locally. It supports Windows Embedded Standard 7 and NI Linux Real-Time, allowing engineers to select either a general-purpose Windows environment or a deterministic real-time operating system.
Product Overview
Земля cDAQ-9134 features four C Series module slots for combining analog input, analog output, digital I/O, temperature, strain, vibration, counter, and vehicle communication functions. The measurement range, isolation, connector type, and channel count depend on the installed C Series modules.
An Intel Atom E3825 dual-core processor provides local computing capability, while 2 GB of DDR3L system memory and a 32 GB solid-state drive support embedded applications and onboard data storage. An SD card slot provides additional removable storage capacity.
The controller also includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, RS-232, USB host and device ports, Mini DisplayPort, an SMB programmable function interface, and an integrated NI-XNET CAN/LIN interface. These resources make the cDAQ-9134 suitable for standalone and networked industrial measurement systems.
