what is the use of NI 9201 and NI 9263 in Compact Real time Controller (NicRIO-9024 )??

Solved!

Hello Mentors,

 

I am doing an experiment in which i have to use a DC Supply of 5V with current range 1-20mA as an input to a PT100(Temperature Sensor). I have to measure the voltage across the PT100 too.

 

I have NIcRIO 9024 and the two above devices NI9021 and NI9263. I want to know can i use these cards for creating a power supply 5V,(1-20mA) and control the current within Labview and measure the voltage across PT-100 in Labview.

 

Can someone advise me which one is suitable for my experiment NI 9201 or 9263 and why?

The 9201 is fine for measuring your voltage.  But the 9263 can only output 1mA.  You might want to look into just getting a simple 5V power supply to power your sensor.

I have 9401. Can i use this for Power Supply and control it in labview? If not, Can you recommend any other NI Module for DC/AC Power supply?

Hi Zohaib,

 

use the NI9216 or 9217 to measure Pt100 sensors…

 

Or use a simple external power supply, as suggested before!

Best regards,

I have to choose first from available modules. I have 9201 for voltage measurement(even in mV) as suggested above. Now i need to decide about 5VDC Supply and (1-20mA) current supply to my PT100 ?? 

I think power supply will be better alone.

I also would really like a power supply C-Series module, but the specifications essentially prohibit this - this "Module Development Kit" overview lists some of the specifications that all C-Series modules must satisfy, which include maximum power dissipation and current demands.

Hi Zohaib,

When you use a 5 V power supply you should use a resistor to limit the current through the Pt100 resistor: ~4.7kOhm will limit to ~1mA. Now you can measure the voltage across your Pt100 and, by applying basic voltage divider rules, calculate its resistance and from that the temperature. Keep in mind the resolution/accuracy of your voltage measurement to know the error (in Kelvin) you will get for this kind of measurement/calculation.

 

Other option: use some additional hardware to supply a know current to your Pt100 resistor: there are current surces like a LM334…

 

Next option: use an additional signal converter (like this) to convert the Pt100 resistance into an "industrial standard" signal of 0…10V…

Best regards,
GerdW
