Pickering Overhauls Range Of PXI Solutions
Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI solutions with a range of new solutions and upgrades to existing modules covering PXI interfacing, fault insertion, RF and high-current applications. The 41-924-001 kit is said to provide a simple solution for connecting modern PCs with PCIe slots to a PXI chassis. The kit contains a single lane PCIe card, a connecting lead and a PXI module for insertion into Slot One of any PXI chassis.
The 41-924 provides a seamless connection between the PCI's PCIe bus and the PXI chassis backplane. It is an alternative to the 41-921-001 kit, which uses a PCI slot rather than a PCIe slot in the PC. Multiple chassis can be controlled from a single PC using a combination of the 41-924-001 kit and 41-921-001 modules. The 40-190B is a fault insertion module that increases the number of fault channels from 64 to 74 compared with the 40-190 without compromising the module signal ratings.
Like the 40-190, the 40-190B uses a 160-pin DIN41612, which is fully supported by a range of Pickering Interfaces interconnection accessories. The 40-873 and 40-833 are 50 and 75ohm MUXs respectively, which feature one or two 4:1 multiplexers with terminated inputs in a single PXI slot. The MUXs are designed for switching applications up to 3GHz and feature good VSWR and low insertion loss. The 40-555 is a solid-state 8x2 matrix in two PXI slots that features 30A current rating and high inrush current tolerance.
Pickering Interfaces said this is a good solution for high-current switching applications such as power supplies where the inrush capability and high current rating ensures reliable operation even under hot switch situations. The 40-160 range has been expanded with the introduction of the 40-160-003, which supports 20 off SPST 10A relays in a single PXI slot. The module is suited for switching DC signals up 30V and AC voltages to 250V with low path loss and good reliability.
