National Instruments NI-9796 Wireless Gateway Module
The NI-9796 (part number: 786511-01) wireless gateway module is an industrial Bluetooth Low Energy gateway for measurement. It integrates RF communication and deterministic data handling within CompactRIO platforms. The NI-9796 wireless module operates in the 2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHz frequency band. This frequency allocation ensures compatibility with sensor networks. The RF transmitter supports a maximum output power of 18 dBm in high power mode. The Radio frequency power is rated at 20 dBm to maintain reliable communication performance stability.
The RF power control range of NI-9796 gateway module spans 36 dB. This control range enables precise adjustment of transmission strength based on application requirements and conditions. The radio frequency receiver handles a maximum input power level of -5 dBm safely. The receiver sensitivity reaches -99 dBm at 0.1% BER in 1 Mbps mode. The NI-9796 supports wireless data exchange. The supported application software is NI InsightCM version 3.4 for gateway configuration and management. This software requirement ensures compatibility with firmware features and diagnostic communication services for system integrity. The wireless gateway unit is compatible exclusively with the cRIO-9065 controller model for use. The module is installed in the first controller slot position for proper operation. The slot placement ensures reliable initialization and synchronized communication with the controller hardware during system startup.
The NI-9796 module operates within -40 °C to 70 °C temperature limits. The storage temperature is specified from -40 °C to 85 °C for component protection during storage. The operating humidity range is 10% to 90% RH non-condensing for safe operation. The ingress protection rating IP40 safeguards internal components against solid particle entry in industrial environments settings. The wireless gateway unit has a pollution degree rating of 2 and has a maximum operational altitude is specified at 5,000 m without compromising wireless performance in active mode conditions. The power consumption in active mode is 525 mW for continuous wireless communication during system operation cycles.
The sleep mode power requirement is 0.2 mW to minimize energy usage during idle system states periods. The NI-9796 provides deterministic data acquisition through its dedicated functionality. It ensures accurate wireless data transfer for monitoring applications in real time.
