National Instruments 782920-04 PXI-8820 Dual-Core PXI Controller
The National Instruments 782920-04 (PXI-8820) is a cost-effective 3U PXI Express embedded controller engineered for value-driven automated test, measurement, and industrial control applications. Powered by a 2.20 GHz dual-core Intel Celeron 1020E processor equipped with 2 MB of shared L2 cache, the controller provides reliable execution speed for real-time processing and automated test execution. The memory architecture utilizes single-channel 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-10600) to support responsive system performance. Backplane communication is anchored by flexible PCI Express routing options, including a PXI Express 4-link configuration (four x1 lanes) and a 2-link setup, ensuring compatible data throughput to installed peripheral measurement modules while full PXI trigger bus I/O supports tight inter-module hardware synchronization.
To streamline instrument integration and benchtop control, the PXI-8820 offers a compact yet essential selection of front-panel I/O. Communication interfaces include a 10/100/1000Base-TX Gigabit Ethernet port for network connectivity and remote system monitoring, four Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports for peripheral extension, a standard RS-232 serial port, and a parallel port for legacy equipment control (the unit omits PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors in favor of USB inputs). Pre-configured with a pre-installed Windows 7 Professional operating system, the controller delivers an out-of-the-box software-ready environment for NI LabVIEW, TestStand, and standard C/C++ development frameworks.
Form-factor design dictates a 2-slot 3U PXI Express module (requiring one system slot plus one controller expansion slot) with a total physical weight of approximately 0.85 kg (1.87 lb). Operating power is drawn directly from standard backplane rails, consuming 1.9 A typical (2.4 A maximum) at +3.3 V, 0.7 A typical at +5 V, 2.3 A typical (2.5 A maximum) at +12 V, and 0.55 A typical (0.66 A maximum) on the +5 V auxiliary rail. Built for continuous industrial service, the module operates across a 5 °C to 50 °C ambient temperature range (-40 °C to 65 °C storage) with non-condensing relative humidity tolerances of 10% to 90%, validated for operational altitudes up to 2,000 meters.
