Description
The VXI Remote Controllers specified here are designed with the model number SB-MXI and come under part numbers 776718-31, 181155-01. Manufactured by National Instruments, these controllers are a testament to quality and reliability in the realm of remote control systems for VXI modules.
The controllers are compatible with the Interface Kit VME-SB2020, ensuring seamless integration for users. They are designed to work efficiently with operating systems such as Solaris 1.x and Solaris 2.x, providing a broad range of compatibility options for different system configurations. Additionally, these controllers are compatible with application software like LabVIEW and LabWindows, offering versatile options for programming and interface customization.
Connection to the VMEbus is facilitated through a Sun Workstation, ensuring a stable and reliable connection for data transfer and control. The system requires a 2 m Type M1 MXIbus Cable for connection, which is essential for the operation of the unit. The configuration process is made simple and efficient, with no switches or jumpers required. Instead, it utilizes the SBus geographic mechanism for setup, making it easier for users to get their system up and running without the hassle of manual adjustments.
It operates at an SBus interrupt level-3, ensuring prompt response to commands and efficient handling of processes. The current measurement for these controllers is 2.5 A typical, with a maximum of 3.5 A, indicating a robust design capable of handling significant power requirements.
Despite being announced as obsolete, these VXI Remote Controllers are still available from Apex Waves, offering a reliable option for those in need of high-quality remote control solutions for their VXI modules.
