Description
The 780587-12 is a robust PXI Switch belonging to the model PXIe-2512. It is designed as a 7-Channel 10A Fault Insertion Unit (FIU) Switch Module, specifically engineered to cater to demanding applications that require precise control and reliability.
This switch module is capable of handling a continuous current of 10 Amperes per channel or in common mode, making it suitable for a wide range of high-power applications. For applications requiring short bursts of higher power, it also supports a maximum pulsed current of 50 Amperes for durations up to 600 microseconds.
The DC Path Resistance of this module is typically around 16 milliohms, ensuring low loss and efficient operation. Safety features such as Overcurrent Detection and Over Temperature Detection are integrated to protect both the module and the connected devices from potential damage due to abnormal operating conditions.
The Relay Operation Time is remarkably swift, with a typical operation time of 8 microseconds and a maximum time of 35 microseconds, ensuring quick response to control signals. It also offers flexibility in signal processing with an Input Trigger Minimum Pulse Width of 150 nanoseconds and a Programmable Output Trigger Pulse Width ranging from 1 to 62 microseconds.
This module finds its applications in various fields, including but not limited to, testing control systems, engine control units, and Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testing. It is also compatible with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, offering seamless integration with one of the most widely used platforms for test and measurement applications.
