NI 9403
5 V/TTL, Bidirectional Digital I/O, 32 Ch Module
Overview
The NI 9403 is a 32-channel, 7 s bidirectional digital I/O module for any NI CompactDAQ or CompactRIO chassis. You can configure the direction of each digital line on the NI
9403 for input or output. Each channel is compatible with 5 V/TTL signals and features 1,000 Vrms transient isolation between the I/O channels and the backplane. The NI 9403
also features 30 V overvoltage protection and can source up to 2 mA output current per channel.
In an NI CompactDAQ chassis, you can use the NI 9403 as only a static (software-timed) digital I/O module. Starting in NI-DAQmx 9.3, you can use the NI 9403 in buffered tasks
for a single direction (either input or output). Due to the serial transfer of data, you cannot use these modules to route timing or triggering signals. With the NI 9403 in a
CompactRIO chassis, you can use LabVIEW FPGA to program the NI 9403 for implementing custom counter/timers, pulse generation, and much more.

NI C Series modules are engineered to provide high-accuracy measurements to meet the demands of advanced DAQ and control applications. Each module contains
measurement-specific signal conditioning to connect to an array of sensors and signals, bank and channel-to-channel isolation options, and support for wide temperature ranges
to meet a variety of application and environmental needs all in a single rugged package. You can choose from more than 100 C Series modules for measurement, control, and
communication to connect your applications to any sensor on any bus.
Most C Series I/O modules work with both the NI CompactDAQ and CompactRIO platforms. The modules are identical, and you can move them from one platform to the other
with no modification.
NI CompactRIO Platform
Powered by the LabVIEW RIO architecture, CompactRIO combines an open embedded architecture with small size, extreme ruggedness, and hot-swappable industrial I/O
modules. Each system contains an FPGA for custom timing, triggering, and processing with a wide array of available modular I/O to meet any embedded application
requirement.
Configure Your Complete CompactRIO System
NI CompactDAQ Platform
NI CompactDAQ is a portable, rugged DAQ platform that integrates connectivity and signal conditioning into modular I/O for directly interfacing to any sensor or signal. Using NI
CompactDAQ with LabVIEW, you can easily customize how you acquire, analyze, present, and manage your measurement data. From research to development to validation, NI
provides programmable software, high-accuracy measurements, and local technical support to help ensure you meet your exact measurement application requirements.

Calibration interval
1 year
Module output current is the maximum guaranteed current that the module can drive froma all the I/O lines without going into an overcurrent state.
Setup time is the amount of time input signals must be stable before reading from the module.
Hold time is the amount of time input signals must be stable after initiating a read from the module.
Propagation delay is the amount of time after writing to the module that the output signals become valid.
Channel-to-channel skew is the amount of time between the first output signal updating and the last output signal updating.
The update/transfer and direction change times are valid when the module is used in a CompactRIO system. When used in other systems, driver software and latencies impact
these times.
7
MAINS is defined as the (hazardous live) electrical supply system to which equipment is designed to be connected for the purpose of powering the equipment. Suitably rated
measuring circuits may be connected to the MAINS for measuring purposes.
