Description
The PXI-1031 is a specialized PXI Chassis part, bearing the part numbers 778932-01 and 190871M-01L. It is designed specifically for OEM applications, providing a compact yet powerful platform for 3U PXI and CompactPCI modules. This chassis comes equipped with a 4-slot configuration, supporting a universal AC power supply to ensure versatility and reliability in various operational environments.
The PXI-1031 chassis features an innovative cooling system, utilizing auto/high temperature-controlled fan speed to manage the internal temperature effectively. This ensures that the device operates efficiently, with acoustic noise emissions maintained at a low level, as low as 35 dBA, to minimize distraction and noise in the working environment.
Each slot within the chassis is capable of supporting up to 25 W of cooling capacity, ensuring that even the most demanding modules can operate without overheating. The chassis is powered by a robust 300 W general AC power supply, providing ample power for various configurations and applications.
To ensure reliability and durability, the PXI-1031 chassis has undergone HALT testing, a rigorous design testing process that guarantees the chassis can withstand harsh conditions and provide long-term performance. Configuration and management of the chassis are facilitated by the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), a comprehensive tool that simplifies the setup and monitoring of the system.
Despite its powerful capabilities, the PXI-1031 chassis remains lightweight, weighing in at only 11 lbs. Its compact dimensions, 6.97 x 10.12 x 8.38 inches, allow for easy integration into a variety of setups without requiring excessive space.
National Instruments has declared the PXI-1031 chassis to have reached its maturity status, but it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to rely on this high-quality chassis for their critical applications.
