NI PXIe-1085 (783588-01) PXI Chassis
The NI PXIe-1085 (783588-01) PXI Chassis is a high-performance modular chassis designed for advanced testing, measurement, and control applications. Below is a detailed overview of its features, specifications, and typical applications:
Key Features
1. Modular Design and Channel Capacity
- 18-Slot Configuration: Accommodates up to 18 PXI/PXIe modules, including 16 peripheral slots and 2 system slots, enabling complex multi-function system integration.
- Mix of PXI and PXIe Slots: Supports both PCI Express (PXIe) and legacy PXI modules, offering flexibility for upgrading existing systems or combining high-speed and standard interfaces.
2. High-Speed Data Throughput
- PCI Express Backplane: Delivers up to 4 GB/s per slot in PXIe mode, ideal for applications requiring real-time data transfer (e.g., high-speed analog/digital acquisition, video processing).
- Synchronization and Timing: Integrates NI's advanced timing and synchronization resources (e.g., 10 MHz reference clock, star trigger bus), ensuring precise coordination between modules.
3. Reliable Power and Cooling
- Redundant Power Supply Option: Supports optional redundant power supplies for enhanced system reliability in critical applications (e.g., 24/7 industrial monitoring).
- Forced-Air Cooling: Efficient fan system maintains optimal operating temperatures for high-performance modules, even under heavy workloads.
4. Flexible System Integration
- Remote Control Capability: Connects to controllers via PCIe or Ethernet, allowing remote operation and integration with networked test systems.
- Compatibility with NI Software: Seamlessly works with LabVIEW, NI - DAQmx, and other NI development tools for simplified system programming and configuration.
