National Instruments PXIe-1066DC PXI Chassis

The National Instrument PXIe‑1066DC (Part Number: 781812-01) adds high-availability features to the PXI Express platform to maximize system efficiency. Designed with an inspiration from PXIe‑1065 functionality, this model integrates hot-swappable, redundant DC power supplies as well as hot-swappable, front-accessible, redundant cooling fans. These high-availability features enhance the mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) of the PXI system.

The National Instruments PXIe‑1066DC Chassis has a 38 W per slot cooling system that meets increased PXI Express cooling requirements. The NI PXIe‑1066DC has a speed fan controller that optimizes cooling and controls acoustic emissions. This model features quiet operation for 0 to 30 °C at 49.8 dBA. Its low-jitter internal 10 MHz and 100MHz reference clock function with the PXI and PXIe slots with ± 25 ppm stability, respectively.

The PXIe‑1066DC Chassis has an operating temperature of 0 to 50 °C. This model has a feature that monitors power supply and temperature, along with an Ethernet interface for remote monitoring. The NI PXIe‑1066DC is HALT tested for increased reliability and allows compatibility with CompactPCI. The PXIe-1066DC is designed to offer users the flexibility to utilize these devices in a single PXI Express chassis:

·         PXI Express

·         Express 4-Link system controller products (CompactPCI compatible)

·         Express Type-2 peripheral products (CompactPCI compatible)

·         PXI peripheral products

·         Standard CompactPCI peripheral products

The NI PXIe‑1066DC Chassis has a PXI Express System Timing Slot for tight synchronization across chassis, switchless CLK10 routing, and front CLK10 I/O connectors. Optional features include replacement power supply, EMC filler panels, and slot blockers for improved cooling performance.
