Description
The National Instruments PXIe-2531 PXI Matrix Switch Module, with part number 780587-31, is a sophisticated component designed for versatile signal routing solutions. This module falls under the category of PXI Switches, signifying its integration and functionality within the PXI systems that are prevalently used in automated test equipment and electronic test systems.
It offers a flexible configuration capability, allowing for up to 4 x 2176 or 8 x 1088 one-wire matrix setups, thus catering to a wide range of complex testing scenarios. The Compact Reed Relays employed as the switch type in this module ensure reliable, high-speed switching operations.
Speaking of speed, the PXIe-2531 boasts an impressive switching speed of up to 2,000 cycles per second. This capability is crucial for applications requiring rapid signal routing changes. Moreover, it operates safely within a switching voltage of 60 VDC, 30 VAC RMS (both channel to channel and channel to ground), making it suitable for a variety of electrical testing environments.
The device adheres to the voltage category of CAT I or CAT 0, ensuring it meets safety standards for electrical testing. Its terminal block mounting is designed to be high-class with VHDCI connectors, providing a robust and reliable connection interface for complex setups.
For optimal performance, the use of NI SHC68-68 shielded cable is recommended for cabling needs, and the NI TBX-68 screw terminal breakout is suggested for terminal connections. These accessories are designed to enhance the module’s performance and reliability.
Lastly, the PXIe-2531 integrates seamlessly with NI Switch Executive software, simplifying the configuration and management of complex switch systems. This software integration facilitates a more efficient setup and operation, allowing users to focus more on their testing tasks rather than on system configuration complexities.
