Description
Product name:Pxie-1078 National Instruments Power module
Product details:
The NI PXIe-1078 is a 9-slot PXI Express chassis designed by National Instruments (NI) for a wide range of test and measurement applications. It provides the essential infrastructure for a PXI system, similar to a PC’s enclosure and motherboard, by supplying power, cooling, and a high-performance communication bus.
Product Details
The PXIe-1078 chassis integrates a PCI Express connection to every slot, enabling high-bandwidth data transfer. It supports PXI Express modules in all nine slots, and up to five of these slots are hybrid slots, meaning they can also accommodate standard PXI hybrid-compatible modules. This backward compatibility offers flexibility for integrating older PXI modules into PXIe systems. The chassis also includes built-in timing and synchronization features, such as 10 MHz and 100 MHz reference clocks, and the PXI trigger bus, which are crucial for coordinated measurements across multiple modules.
Product Parameters
Here are some key specifications for the NI PXIe-1078:
- Slot Count: 9 slots
- PXI Express slots: 9
- Hybrid slots (compatible with PXI and PXI Express): Up to 5
- System Bandwidth: Up to 1.75 GB/s
- Cooling Capacity: 38.25 W per slot (exceeds PXI Express requirements)
- AC Input Voltage Range: 100 VAC to 240 VAC
- AC Input Operating Frequency Range: 47 Hz to 63 Hz
- Dimensions (H x W x D): Approximately 6.97 x 14 x 8.43 inches
- Timing and Synchronization: Includes 10 MHz and 100 MHz reference clocks, PXI trigger bus.
- Jitter (PXIe_CLK100): 3 ps RMS phase-jitter (10 Hz to 12 kHz), 2 ps RMS phase-jitter (12 kHz to 20 MHz)
Product Advantages
The NI PXIe-1078 offers several advantages for test and measurement applications:
- High Performance: With its PXI Express backplane, it provides significantly higher data transfer rates (up to 1.75 GB/s system bandwidth) compared to traditional PXI, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications.
- Flexibility and Compatibility: The inclusion of hybrid slots allows for seamless integration of both PXI Express and older PXI modules, providing a path for upgrading existing systems or utilizing a broader range of instrumentation.
- Robust Timing and Synchronization: Integrated timing and triggering capabilities (10 MHz/100 MHz clocks, PXI trigger bus) enable precise synchronization of multiple instruments, critical for complex automated test systems.
- Superior Cooling: NI chassis are designed to exceed PXI Express cooling requirements, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for high-power modules, even during continuous operation.
- Reliability: NI custom-designs its power supplies and maintains design ownership, contributing to the dependability and serviceability of the chassis across its operating temperature and AC input ranges.
- Low Acoustic Emissions: The chassis is designed to minimize acoustic noise, creating a more comfortable environment in labs and on benchtops.
Precautions
When using the NI PXIe-1078, consider the following precautions:
- Installation and Operation: Always follow NI’s installation, operation, and maintenance instructions provided in the user manual to ensure proper functioning and to prevent damage.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the chassis within the specified environmental limits (temperature, humidity, etc.) to maintain performance and extend its lifespan.
- EMC Compliance: To ensure specified electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance, use shielded cables and accessories with the product. The product is intended for industrial locations, and special measures may be needed if used in residential areas to prevent interference with radio and television broadcasts.
- System Reliability: Do not solely rely on a single electronic system for applications where a system failure could lead to harm to property or persons. Implement backup or shutdown mechanisms as necessary.
- Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply within the specified voltage and frequency range. Power failures or surges are not covered by the warranty.
- Modifications: Avoid unauthorized modifications to the product, as this can void the warranty and potentially lead to malfunctions.
Product Applications
The NI PXIe-1078 chassis is a versatile platform suitable for a wide array of test and measurement applications, including but not limited to:
- Automated Test Systems: Ideal for building high-channel-count or high-speed automated test systems for various industries.
- Aerospace and Defense: Used in validation and production testing of avionic systems, radar, and communication devices.
- Automotive Testing: Applicable for testing ECUs (Engine Control Units), battery management systems, and in-vehicle infotainment.
- Semiconductor Test: Suitable for characterizing and validating integrated circuits (ICs) and other semiconductor devices.
- RF and Wireless Test: Provides the bandwidth and synchronization needed for testing wireless communication devices, cellular infrastructure, and RF components.
- Research and Development: Its flexibility and performance make it a strong choice for R&D labs requiring high-speed data acquisition and control.
- Manufacturing Test: Enables efficient and reliable testing on production lines to ensure product quality.
