Description
The National Instruments PXI-1050 is a combination chassis designed for use in demanding test and measurement, and industrial automation applications. This PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis is known for its robust construction and compatibility with a wide range of software and hardware components.
It comes with a total of 8 PXI slots and 4 SCXI slots, providing ample space for various modules to fit in. The chassis supports different voltage levels including 100, 120, 220, and 240 VAC, depending on the part number chosen. The specific part numbers are 779199-01 for 120 VAC, 779199-02 for 100 VAC, 779199-03 for 220 VAC, and 779199-04 for 240 VAC.
For ensuring the reliability and longevity of the system, the chassis is equipped with fuse, backplane fuses, a circuit breaker, fans, and filters. These features help in protecting the system from electrical overloads and in maintaining a clean environment for the electronic components.
The cooling of the chassis is managed by two fans that ensure forced air circulation, keeping the internal temperature at optimal levels for the functioning of the modules. This is particularly important in environments where the equipment may be subjected to prolonged operational periods.
When it comes to software, this chassis is compatible with a range of National Instruments software including BridgeVIEW, ComponentWorks, LabVIEW for Windows, LabWindows/CVI for Windows, Measure, NI-DAQ for PC compatibles, and VirtualBench. This wide range of compatible software offers flexibility in application development and system integration.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXI-1050 is still available for purchase and repairs at Apex Waves. This ensures that users of this chassis can continue to rely on its performance and functionality for their critical applications.
Lastly, the chassis is in compliance with the PXI Specification Rev. 2.1, ensuring that it meets the industry standards for performance and interoperability with PXI
