Overview
High-performance digital output and switching modules for National
Instruments CompactRIO embedded systems, R Series expansion
chassis, and NI CompactDAQ systems provide extended voltage ranges
and high current-switching capacity for direct control of a wide array of
industrial and automotive actuators. Each module features an integrated
connector junction box with screw-terminal or cable options for flexible,
low-cost signal wiring. All modules feature the NI CompactRIO Extreme
Industrial Certifications and Ratings.
pulse-width modulation (PWM) outputs for controlling motors, heaters,
or fans, as well as perform pulse code modulation encoding (PCME) for
wireless telemetry applications.
Key Features
• High-performance digital output switching for any CompactRIO embedded
system, R Series expansion chassis, or NI CompactDAQ system
• Screw-terminal, strain relief, high-voltage, cable, solder-cup
backshell, and other connectivity options
• Channel-to-earth ground double-isolation barrier for safety
and noise immunity
• NI CompactRIO Extreme Industrial Certifications and Ratings

System Compatibility
You can use NI C Series modules interchangeably in CompactRIO and
NI CompactDAQ chassis. Many of the advanced timing features
described apply only to CompactRIO reconfigurable I/O systems and not
to NI CompactDAQ.
Advanced Features
When used in CompactRIO, C Series digital output modules connect
directly to reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA hardware to create high-
performance embedded systems. The reconfigurable FPGA hardware
within CompactRIO provides a variety of options for timing, triggering,
synchronization, digital waveform generation, or digital communication.
For instance, with CompactRIO you can implement a circuit to generate

The NI 9933 includes a screw-terminal connector with strain relief
as well as a D-Sub solder-cup backshell for creating custom cable
assemblies for any module with a 37-pin D-Sub connector.
Connectivity Accessories
CompactRIO and NI CompactDAQ systems are designed to provide
flexible options for low-cost field wiring and cabling. Most C Series
modules have a unique connector block option to provide secure and safe
connections to your CompactRIO or NI CompactDAQ system. Table 2
contains all of the connector blocks available for C Series I/O modules.
