National Instruments PXI-8231 Ethernet Interface Module

The NI PXI-8231 (Part Number: 781752-01) is an elite 1-Port Gigabit Ethernet Module for PXI frameworks with an Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet controller. With 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet, the user can accomplish a significant execution increment more than 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet, while maintaining compatibility with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet systems. The PXI-8231 can be used with NI-IMAQdx driver software.

The PXI 8231 offers genuine Performance Gains; Gigabit Ethernet hypothetically gives a 1000 Mbit/s transmission speed. However, 1000 Mbit/s approaches the breaking point of PCI bus transfer speed; thus, the greatest transmission speeds are framework specific. Variables such as the user’s CPU speed, other PCI traffic, and Ethernet network configuration determine execution may allow the user to achieve transmission speeds of 500 Mbit/s and reach paces of 800 Mbit/s. This remains five to eight times the execution of 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet.

The NI PXI-8231 Ethernet Interface Module is completely compatible with Ethernet models and cabling. The user can utilize standard Category 5 Ethernet links and accomplish Gigabit Ethernet execution, given the majority of the conductor matches in the link are associated (4 sets x 250 Mbit/s per combine = 1000 Mbit/s). Also, the Gigabit Ethernet Module naturally identifies link extremity, so there is no compelling reason to swap between crossover and straight-through cabling for various system arrangements. The Gigabit Ethernet port switches between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit/s modes, depending on the user’s system's capability as determined by the server speed, switch/router limit, and wiring limit.
