Description
The SCXI-1160, identified by its part number 776572-60, is a high-performance General-Purpose Relay Switch Module. This module is designed to cater to a variety of switching needs in a versatile and reliable manner. It employs SPDT Form C, Electromechanical, Latching Relays to facilitate its operations, ensuring both durability and efficiency in its performance.
With a total of 16 relays, the SCXI-1160 offers substantial capacity for various applications. It boasts an impressive maximum switching rate of 50 operations per second, making it suitable for high-speed switching tasks. The module is capable of handling switching capacities up to 2 A at 250 VRMS or 2 A at 30 VDC, providing flexibility in terms of load specifications.
The relay operating time is remarkably quick at just 10 ms, further emphasizing the module’s suitability for applications requiring rapid switching. Additionally, its offset voltage is minimal, at only 3 μV, which helps in maintaining signal integrity.
Compatibility is a key strength of the SCXI-1160. It supports a wide range of boards including NI MIO-16 Boards; Lab-NB, Lab-PC, Lab-PC+, Lab-LC, and PC-LPM-16 boards; DIO-24, DIO-32F, and DIO-96 boards. This wide compatibility ensures that the module can be integrated into numerous existing systems without the need for extensive modifications.
For software interfacing, the module uses NI-SWITCH driver software, which is known for its reliability and ease of use. Furthermore, it is compatible with popular software packages such as LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI, making it an ideal choice for developers and engineers familiar with these platforms.
The module also features five jumpers (W1, W2, W3, W4, W5), which provide additional flexibility and customization options to meet specific application requirements. Its
