Industrial Controllers
PCI and PCI Express Support and Operating Temperature
NI 31xx industrial controllers work with half-length PCI or PCI Express boards that dissipate less than 10 W and have been thermally tested by NI in the fanless
configuration. Figure 2 shows the dimensions of a half-length and full-length PCI board.
Full-Length PCI
Half-Length PCI
107 mm

175.26 mm or less
Figure 2. Full-Length and Half-Length PCI Board Dimensions
NI 31xx industrial controllers offer a 0 to 50 °C operating temperature without a PCI board installed. The operating temperature with a PCI or PCI Express board
installed in the peripheral slot depends on the specifications of the PCI/PCI Express board and heat dissipation across the board. With a PCI or PCI Express board that
dissipates less than 10 W of heat, the operating temperature is 0 to 45 °C. For a complete list of PCI and PCI Express boards supported by National Instruments,
