Description
The SB-MXI Board, carrying the part number 181155-02, falls under the category of VXI Remote Controllers. This model, known as SB-MXI, is specifically the board-only version, supporting a 28-bit address configuration. Manufactured by National Instruments, it is an integral component of the VME-SB2020 interface kit. Notably, this model supersedes the original part number 181155-01, indicating an iteration or update in its design or functionality.
When it comes to compatibility, the SB-MXI Board is designed to work with Solaris 1.x and Solaris 2.x operating systems. It also boasts software compatibility with NI-VXI software for Solaris, LabVIEW, and LabWindows, making it a versatile choice for various applications. Installation recommendations suggest placing the board in the end slot of the chassis to minimize interference with neighboring SBus slot cables, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
The board requires a 2 m Type M1 MXIbus cable for connection, emphasizing its ease of installation due to the lack of switches or jumpers. It utilizes a geographic mechanism from SBus for configuration, streamlining the setup process. Its operation is supported at SBus interrupt level-3, and it measures a current of 2.5 A typically, with a maximum threshold of 3.5 A.
Despite its obsolete status as announced by National Instruments, the SB-MXI Board remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users of this specific component can continue to rely on its functionality and support for their critical applications, even beyond its official end-of-life declaration by the manufacturer.
