Description
The National Instruments SWB-2816 Matrix Module, with part numbers 781421-16 and 781420-16, is a versatile component designed for SwitchBlock systems, requiring only a single slot within the carrier module. It features an 8×46 (8 rows by 46 columns) 1-wire matrix configuration that supports a variety of operating modes, including use as an independent single relay card, or as an expandable module within a single carrier or PXI chassis—capable of scaling up to 8×276 and 8×1104 configurations, respectively.
This module is compatible with other SWB-2816 units, allowing for custom multi-card assemblies to suit various applications. It offers a significant bandwidth of over 8 MHz, can handle switching voltages up to 100 VDC, and supports a switching current of 0.25 A per channel, with a carry current of 0.30 A per channel. The maximum power requirement for switching is set at 3 W, making the NI SWB-2816 a robust choice for managing electrical signal routing in sophisticated electronic setups.
