Description
The SWB-2811 is a Matrix Module for SwitchBlock, specifically designed for high-power applications. This module comes with part numbers 781421-11 and 781420-11. It features an 8×21 Reed Matrix configuration, meaning it has 8 rows x 21 columns. The maximum switching voltage per channel is rated at 150 V, with a maximum switching current of 1 A. The module utilizes Reed Relays to ensure reliable operation.
It can support a maximum of 176 simultaneous relays, making it suitable for complex switching applications. This module is designed to be compatible with National Instruments SwitchBlocks, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. However, it requires a PXI carrier module for operation, which must be acquired separately. The SWB-2811’s robust configuration and compatibility make it an ideal choice for engineers and professionals working on high-power switching solutions.
