Hello, everyone,
my group bought a C-series module for functional safety NI-9351 for experiment set-up.
but after reading the Manual, I still not understand how it works and what does it work for. I think it might be used for an emergence stop?
Does anyone know this Module?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
The module contains built-in diagnostics that can monitor the status of the hardware and the integrity of the connections.
It can be used to control critical safety functions in manufacturing assembly and test cells, large physical tests, condition monitoring applications, and process monitoring and control.
Probably you can refer to these links below.

Hi,
There is a self-contained safety logic solver in the module.
sensor -> logic solver -> final element

So you can connect a sensor to the module and used it for the temperature monitoring.
Thanks.
