15bit digital input on SC2345

[testboy]

I want to test the function of an Allen Bradley 845G-F3BAHP032KR digital absolute encoder, it uses 15bit/0-32767 resolution. I have an SC2345 conditioning unit with a 6036E DAQCard. My understanding is that if I were to use my current setup, I would have to connect all 15 lines to analog input channels and then try to interpret the signals..NI 6533 was suggested by your engineer..my question is, what else do I need to purchase to do this test? Do I need a PCI, or PXI setup, or do you have a portable setup like my current SC2345, except with more than 8 digital channels, I would need 16 digital I/O channels, right?

What hardware do I need in order to run this on my laptop. I assume at the least, a DAQCard-6533, but what other hardware
?

Thanks, please send your response to jniemi1970@comcast.net it seems that all NI email content is removed by our email system here at Dominion

Greetings,

The DAQCard-6533 is a 32-bit digital input/output device and so it would definitely work with your application.

The DAQCard-6533 can perform hardware, timed digital input at speeds up to 400 kbytes/sec. Other than the DAQCard-6533, you will only need a cable and connector block to connect the 15 lines from your encoder to the 6533. You will need a PSHR68-68-D1 Shielded Cable and an SCB-68 shielded terminal block for easy screw terminal connection to the DAQCard-6533.

I've linked to the DAQCard-6533 within the online catalog below. It lists the cable and connector block that is compatible with the DAQCard-6533. I've also linked the user manual of the DAQCard-6533 which will explain its operation in more detail.
