NI GPIB-140A 186135F-31 Industrial Communication Module

The NI GPIB-140A serves as a critical bridge between industrial equipment and control systems, enabling seamless integration of IEEE 488.2-compliant devices. Engineers in manufacturing and test automation environments often rely on this module for precise data acquisition and instrument control tasks.

In real-world applications, this module shines when connecting legacy test equipment to modern control systems. A semiconductor manufacturing facility recently used it to interface their wafer testing apparatus with a new SCADA system – you’ll appreciate how easy it is to install even in tight control cabinets. We frequently handle related models like the GPIB-120A and PCI-GPIB adapters, ensuring compatibility across different system architectures.

The module’s technical merits go beyond basic connectivity. Its galvanic isolation protects connected devices from electrical interference, while the auto-detection feature simplifies configuration. Compared to standard serial interfaces, you’ll notice faster data throughput and lower error rates in electrically noisy environments. The built-in diagnostic LEDs make troubleshooting straightforward – no more guesswork when communication drops occur.
