National Instruments SLSC-12001 Chassis for SLSC

Featured with Rear Transition Interface (RTI) and Integrated Protection, the National Instruments SLSC-12001 (Part Number: 784532-01) is a 12-Slot Chassis for SLSC. This Chassis provides a digital communication interface, trigger lines, and power lines to determine set parameters for SLSC modules. This Chassis requires an external 24 V power supply to operate. The power it receives is distributed to attached SLSC modules over an internal power supply bus. 

The internal power bus of the SLSC-12001 offers short circuit, input overvoltage, and reverse voltage protection. The RTI incorporated in this Chassis allows you to route conditioned I/O signals through standard National Instruments cables. This Chassis maintains communication with each attached module and manages connectivity with a host computer through Ethernet. When power is applied to the SLSC-12001, the POWER LED turns green immediately and the chassis fans start. When the STATUS LED and POWER LED both turn green, it indicates that the chassis is ready to operate and provide host communication. 

For storing real-time clock information, this Chassis contains a lithium cell battery that can be replaced by the user. Each attached module takes power from the SLSC-12001 Chassis through +24 V and +3.3 V rails. The control system of the Chassis prevents it from starting if one or multiple faulted modules are detected. This Chassis consumes around 45 watts of power with no module. However, it can consume around 720 watts of power in a fully loaded state. With this Chassis, you are allowed to use a cable of up to 3 meters.  

SLSC-12001 Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the chassis will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
