Description
The PXIe-2531 is a high-performance PXI Switch with a part number 780587-31. This switch is designed to operate efficiently in demanding test environments, offering a flexible matrix configuration that can be set up as either up to 4 x 2176 or 8 x 1088 1-Wire Matrix. The core technology of this switch uses Reed Relays, which are known for their reliability and fast switching capabilities, reaching up to 2,000 cycles per second.
When it comes to electrical specifications, the PXIe-2531 can handle a switching voltage of 60 VDC or 30 VAC RMS between channels or from channel to ground, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This switch is categorized under CAT I or CAT 0 for voltage, ensuring it meets necessary safety and performance standards. Connectivity is made easy and secure through VHDCI connectors, which are part of the terminal block mounting system.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the NI SHC68-68 Shielded Cable with this switch. Additionally, the NI TBX-68 Screw Terminal Breakout is available as a breakout option to facilitate easy and efficient connections. Compatibility with software is broad, including NI Switch Executive, NI Test Stand, LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio, offering versatile control and integration options for various testing scenarios.
