Description
The NI PXIe-2727 PXI Programmable Resistor Module, with part number 781986-27, falls under the category of PXI Switches. This model is designed to offer precise control and simulation of resistive sensors within a PXI system. It features a 9-channel, 16-bit Programmable Resistor, allowing for a wide range of applications.
The resistance range of the NI PXIe-2727 is quite versatile, providing adjustments up to 16 kiloohm in 0.25 ohm steps. This ensures that users can simulate various resistive sensors accurately for testing or calibration purposes. The channel accuracy varies based on the resistance value, with less than 10.0% for 20 Ω – 40 Ω, less than 5.0% for 40 Ω – 120 Ω and 20 Ω – 64 Ω, less than 2.0% for 120 Ω – 400 Ω and 64 Ω – 255 Ω, and less than 1.0% for 400 Ω – 16,000 Ω, ensuring precise resistance simulation across its full range.
Each channel of the PXIe-2727 can handle a maximum current of 0.3 A and a maximum power of 0.25 W, suitable for a wide range of low-power applications. With the ability to drive up to 161 relays simultaneously, this module offers flexibility in configuring complex simulations and testing scenarios.
Designed for both lab and field use, the module operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored between -20 °C to 70 °C. Its compact dimensions of 21.6 × 2.0 × 13.0 cm (8.5 × 0.8 × 5.1 in.) and a weight of 323 g (11.3 oz)
