Description
The Part Number 187317J-610 refers to a PXI Embedded Controller, specifically the model PXI-8174. This controller is designed for demanding automation and control applications, providing robust performance with a 566 MHz processor speed. It runs on the Windows 2000 operating system, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of software and applications tailored for industrial environments.
The PXI-8174 is compatible with PXI/cPCI systems, making it a versatile choice for integration into existing setups. Its I/O Ports include a 15-pin DSUB (VGA) for video output, a COM1 RS-232 Serial Port (9-pin DSUB) for serial communications, a 10/100 Ethernet Port for network connectivity, a Parallel Port (IEEE 1284) for connecting older printers or other parallel port devices, two 4-pin Series A receptacle USB Ports for modern peripherals, and a PS/2 port for legacy keyboard or mouse connections.
The controller’s Front Panel Features include a TRG connector, which is crucial for routing PXI triggers, enabling precise timing and synchronization across multiple instruments and devices within a test system. This feature is particularly important in complex measurement and automation setups requiring tight integration and coordination.
Data Storage Options on the PXI-8174 are versatile, including USB storage for easy data transfer, an Internal IDE hard drive for reliable on-board storage, and a 1.44 MB floppy disk for legacy support. The Boot Options further enhance the system’s flexibility, supporting booting from an internal IDE hard drive, 1.44 MB floppy drive, IDE CD-ROM, external USB floppy drive, external USB mass storage device, and external SCSI hard drive.
This embedded controller is designed to fit perfectly within specific Compatible Chassis, including the PXI-1000B, PXI-1020, and PXI-1025, ensuring a seamless integration into your PXI system. Its Physical Dimensions are 6.1 x 13 x 21, fitting standard PXI slots without issue.
