For more information about the digital I/O see Section 2.9 and Appendix A of the User's Guide. For data rate information see Sections 3.1 and 3.2. The
User's Guide can be found on the UE9 downloads page.
Timers
Up to 6 FIO can be configured as timers. The timers are very flexible, providing options such as PWM output, pulse timing, pulse counting, and
quadrature input.
For more information about the timers see Section 2.10 and Appendix A of the User's Guide. The User's Guide can be found on the UE9 downloads page.
Counters
Up to 2 FIO can be configured as 32-bit counters.
For more information about the counters see Section 2.10 and Appendix A of the User's Guide. The User's Guide can be found on the UE9 downloads
page.
I/O Protection
All I/O lines on the UE9 are protected against minor overvoltages. The AIN lines can withstand continuous overvoltage of ±15 volts, the FIO lines can
withstand up to ±10 volts, while the EIO/CIO/MIO lines can withstand up to ±6 volts.
Power Supply
Power can be provided by the USB cable or an external 5 volt supply (included). When only Ethernet is connected, and an isolated power supply is used
(such as the included wall-wart), the entire UE9 is electrically isolated.
High Channel Count Applications
By using USB hubs or Ethernet switches, many LabJacks can be interfaced to a single PC, providing an inexpensive solution for low-speed high channel
count applications.
Modbus
Modbus is an industry standard command/response protocol for data acquisition and control equipment. The UE9 supports Modbus/TCP in hardware, so
any software that supports Modbus/TCP can talk to the UE9 with no further software/drivers required. (More Info)
Wireless Data Acquisition
Combining the UE9 with a standard 802.11 wireless Ethernet bridge or access point ($50-$200 from any computer retailer) provides inexpensive wireless
data acquisition. Applications include high-speed continuous wireless data acquisition, long distance remote sensing and control, or PDA based data
acquisition. (More Info)
Optional Accessories
The CB15 is a simple screw terminal breakout for the DB15 connector. The CB37 is a simple screw terminal breakout for the DB37 connector. The EB37
experiment board also provides screw terminals for the DB37 connector, and in addition provides a solderless breadboard and useful power supplies.
The RB12 provides a convenient interface for the UE9 to industry standard digital I/O modules, allowing electricians, engineers, and other qualified
individuals, to interface a LabJack with high voltages/currents. The RB12 relay board connects to the DB15 connector on the LabJack, using the 12
EIO/CIO lines to control up to 12 I/O modules. Output or input types of digital I/O modules can be used. The RB12 is designed to accept G4 series digital
I/O modules from Opto22, and compatible modules from other manufacturers such as the G5 series from Grayhill. Output modules are available with
voltage ratings up to 200 VDC or 280 VAC, and current ratings up to 3.5 amps.
The LJTick-Divider (LJTD) signal-conditioning module is designed to divide 2 single-ended higher voltage analog signals down to 0-2.5 volt signals.
The LJTick-DAC (LJTDAC) provides a pair of 14-bit analog outputs with a range
of ±10 volts. Plugs into any digital I/O block, and thus up to 10 of these can be used per UE9 to add 20 analog outputs.
The LJTick-InAmp (LJTIA) signal-conditioning module provides two instrumentation amplifiers ideal for low-level signals such as bridge circuits (e.g.
strain gauges) and thermocouples. Each amplifier converts a differential input to single-ended.
The LJTick-RelayDriver (LJTRD) allows 2 digital I/O lines on a UE9 to each control a relay or other moderate load up to 50V/200mA.
The LJTick-CurrentShunt (LJTCS) signal-conditioning module is designed to convert a 4-20 mA current loop input signal into a 0.47-2.36 volt signal.
The LJTick-Proto (LJTP) consists of an 8x8 grid of holes for prototyping custom signal-conditioning ticks for the LabJack UE9.
