National Instruments PXI-2514 PXI Signal Insertion Switch Module

The National Instruments PXI-2514 Fault Insertion Unit (FIU) is intended for loop hardware (HIL) applications and electronic dependability testing. Every module has a set of direct-feed channels that can be opened or closed to one or more failover buses. The user can utilize this architecture for symmetrical open or interfered connections and in addition short between pines, shorts in battery voltages and shorts on the ground per channel. When controlled by the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, the PXI-2514 (Part Number: 778572-14) is perfect for approving the trustworthiness of control frameworks, including engine control units (ECU) and full specialist authority digital engine (FADEC).

Each FIU module can send and get triggers through the PXI-2514 backplane. Input triggers can advance the switch to the fault area in a predefined list loaded onto the FIU hardware. The user can utilize output triggers to start estimations on different instruments in the PXI-2514’s framework. Moreover, the user can also send triggers from real-time recreations to sequence through fault conditions for automated test coverage. For applications requiring more complex sequencing and dynamic fault control, you can utilize a PXI-2514 field programmable gate array (FPGA) module to send and get triggers to at least one FIU by means of the PXI backplane

While in the Windows condition, the PXI-2514 allows the user to interactively configure and test PXI switches with the NI-SWITCH Soft Front Panel. For automated control, the included NI-SWITCH hardware driver gives automatic access to the full functionality of every module. Utilizing the NI-SWITCH hardware driver, the user can control connections exclusively or download an output list to the FIU hardware to start hardware-timed sequences of connections.
