Description
The VXI-1500 is a robust 13-Slot Mainframe designed specifically for use within the VXI Chassis category, offering a comprehensive solution for a variety of system configurations. Bearing the part number 777423-06, this mainframe is engineered to cater to the demanding requirements of the UK market with a 240 VAC power input.
Manufactured by National Instruments, a leader in the field, the VXI-1500 is compatible with the VXIbus Specification Revision 1.4, ensuring seamless integration and high reliability in sophisticated environments. It is equipped with 13 C-sized VXIbus slots, providing ample space for a wide range of modules and instruments. The mainframe boasts an impressive Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) rated as low, which signifies minimal downtime and enhanced operational efficiency.
Heat dissipation is a critical factor in maintaining the longevity and reliability of the system. The VXI-1500 addresses this with an effective cooling mechanism, capable of dissipating up to 1100 W with a 115 VAC input or 1420 W with a 230 VAC input, thanks to its filtered forced-air cooling system. This ensures that the system remains within optimal operating temperatures even under heavy load.
The unit’s power supply is designed for durability and reliability, featuring a removable configuration with a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 50,000 hours. This mainframe can operate efficiently with a power input of either 1100 W or 1420 W, based on the input voltage, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to various power environments.
For enhanced safety and convenience, the VXI-1500 includes push-reset circuit breakers for overcurrent protection and supports remote power monitoring through a back-panel connector. This feature allows for easy monitoring and management of the system’s power status, ensuring reliable operation.
The mainframe’s versatility is further highlighted by its installation options, which include both rackmounted and bench setups, catering to the specific needs of different operational environments. Despite being announced
