Description
The SWB-2811 is a Matrix Module for SwitchBlock, identified by its part number 196590A-01L. This module is also known under other part numbers, specifically 781421-11 and 781420-11. It falls under the category of PXI Switches and is designed to facilitate a wide range of applications, including use with DMMS, Arbitrary Waveform Generators, Power Supplies, and Oscilloscopes.
At the heart of its functionality, the SWB-2811 boasts a 1 A, 8 x 21 Reed Matrix switch configuration. This means it can handle a maximum switching voltage of 150 V and a maximum switching current of 1 A. The switch operates using Reed Relays and can support up to 176 relays simultaneously, making it highly versatile and capable of handling complex switching arrangements.
The module’s compatibility with National Instruments SwitchBlocks ensures it can be seamlessly integrated into existing setups, providing a smooth and efficient enhancement to your instrumentation capabilities. Its configuration is designed as a 1-Wire, 8 Rows x 21 Columns matrix, allowing for flexible and customizable connections based on the specific requirements of the application it is used for.
To operate, the SWB-2811 requires a PXI Carrier Module, which serves as the foundation for this switch module, ensuring it functions optimally within the PXI ecosystem. This requirement highlights the module’s design to be part of a larger, modular system, capable of being tailored to meet the evolving needs of today’s high-paced technological and scientific research environments.
