National Instruments PXI-2570 PXI Relay Module

The PXI-2570 PXI Relay Module (Part Number: 778572-70) is equipped with 40 individual SPDT (Form C), latching relays. The NI PXI-2570 optimizes relay density in one PXI slot. Each relay comprises a normally closed (NC), normally open (NO), along with a common (COM) terminal. Since there are 40 channels on the module, the user can switch a few hundred ATE loads in one PXI chassis or a great quantity of channels in a numerous-chassis configuration. It has a switch bandwidth of 40 MHz.

This module also offers automatic scanning; it can expand throughput in computerized test applications by the utilization of scanning. Scanning enhances throughput by downloading a list of as many as 32,000 associations with the switch and cycling through the list utilizing an event (trigger) with no intrusion from the host processor. Scanning is most productively achieved by matching the PXI-2570 with an instrument such as the NI PXI-4070 6 1⁄2-digit FlexDMM, which initiates a trigger after every estimation.

All National Instruments PXI Switch Modules can be used with NI-SWITCH, which is an IVI-compliant driver with full functionality for switch modules. For extra help with arranging, programming, and controlling higher channel count switching systems, NI Switch Executive software is a simple to utilize, intelligent switch management and visual routing environment. This PXI Relay Module is also compatible with Visual Basic, C/C++, LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and LabWindows/CVI.

The NI PXI-2570 can perceive trigger pulse widths under 150 ns if the user disables digital filtering. Tight synchronization is additionally possible with devices via hardware triggers. This module is UL and CE compliant. The PXI-2570 Relay Module is also rated for Measurement Category I and can carry signal voltages to a maximum of 100 V. This module can withstand up to 500 V impulse voltage.

The NI device weighs 5.5 oz, and measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, a storage temperature range of -20 °C to 70 °C, and an operating and non-operating random vibration of 0.31 grms and 2.46 grms respectively–all at a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz.
