SCXI-1160

Description

The NI SCXI-1160 General-Purpose Relay Switch Module, with Part Number 776572-60, is a versatile device featuring 16 SPDT Form C, electromechanical, latching relays that are designed for efficient switching, routing, and controlling of medium-level signals. These relays are characterized by extremely low on-resistance and a minimal thermal offset of 3 µV, ensuring precise signal handling.

Capable of a maximum switching rate of 50 operations per second, the SCXI-1160 boasts a robust switching capacity of 2 A at 250 VRMS or 2 A at 30 VDC, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is fully software programmable, allowing for easy integration and control within automated systems, and features a quick relay operating time of just 10 ms.

Compatibility with multiple boards, such as NI MIO-16, Lab-NB, Lab-PC, Lab-PC+, Lab-LC, PC-LPM-16, DIO-24, DIO-32F, and DIO-96, along with the use of NI-SWITCH driver software, ensures that the SCXI-1160 can be seamlessly integrated with existing setups and controlled by popular software packages including LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.

The module also includes five configurable jumpers (W1, W2, W3, W4, and W5), which provide additional flexibility for adapting to various scenarios and connection types. This level of customization and compatibility highlights the SCXI-1160’s adaptability for a wide range of industrial, production testing, and laboratory applications.
