Description
The National Instruments PXI-2514 PXI Signal Insertion Switch Module, with part number 196432B-01L, is a critical component in the category of PXI Switches. This module is specifically designed for Loop Hardware (HIL) applications and Electronic Dependability Testing, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of testing environments.
One of the key functionalities of the PXI-2514 is its role as a Fault Insertion Unit (FIU). This allows for the validation of control systems’ reliability, including but not limited to, Engine Control Units (ECU) and Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) systems. The module excels in simulating faults within a system to ensure that components can handle unexpected conditions, thus ensuring their reliability and safety in real-world applications.
Among its standout features are direct-feed channels, failover buses, symmetrical open/interfered connections, and the capability for shorts to battery/ground. These features enable comprehensive testing scenarios that can mimic a wide variety of fault conditions. This level of testing capability is essential for systems that demand high reliability and safety standards.
The PXI-2514 supports complex test sequences through its triggering functionality. It can send and receive triggers via the PXI Backplane, facilitating fault area advancement and automated test coverage. This capability allows for highly efficient and automated testing processes, significantly reducing testing time and increasing the thoroughness of the tests conducted.
Software compatibility is a crucial aspect of the PXI-2514, with support for the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, NI-SWITCH Soft Front Panel, and NI-SWITCH hardware driver. This ensures seamless integration into existing National Instruments environments, allowing for easy setup and execution of tests.
The maintenance phase for the PXI-2514 began on June 30, 2022. Despite entering this phase, Apex Waves commits to buy, sell, and repair End-of-Life (EOL) NI Hardware indefinitely. This level of support ensures that users of the PXI-2514 can continue their critical testing operations without concern for the availability of support or replacement
