National Instruments PXI-7813R

The National Instruments PXI-7813R Digital Reconfigurable I/O Module is a versatile solution designed for advanced onboard computing and flexible I/O applications. This module features 160 bidirectional digital I/O lines, configurable as input, output, or counter/timer, along with three DMA channels for efficient data transfer. The core of the PXI-7813R is its user-programmable Virtex-II FPGA, which provides significant processing power with 1,728 kbits of embedded block RAM, 96 18×18 multipliers, and 28,672 flip-flops. Designed for high-precision tasks, this module is ideal for high-speed waveform synthesis, sensor simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. Connectivity is facilitated through four 68-pin high-density female VHDCI connectors, enabling seamless integration with other devices and components.

The PXI-7813R operates effectively with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and supports application development via LabVIEW and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Power consumption is manageable, requiring 9 mA at 5 VDC and 850 mA at 3.3 VDC. Physically, the module measures 6.3 in. by 3.9 in. (16 cm by 10 cm) and weighs 152 g. It is intended for indoor use, functioning optimally within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, with a storage temperature range between -20 °C to 70 °C. Although classified as obsolete, the PXI-7813R remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. For additional compatibility, the module works with the SCB-68 shielded connector block and specific NI cabling options. Users can access both user and maintenance manuals for comprehensive guidance.
