It has 16 independent SPST (Form A) relays with low contact resistance and high isolation voltage. It includes over-temperature protection to ensure that the relays are never exposed to an amount of power in excess of their rating. If the current approaches the rated value, the control circuitry opens the relay contacts. The NI PXI-2564 is ideal for switching medium-to-high-power signals and loads in military, automotive, or automated test applications. All National Instruments PXI and SCXI switch modules are shipped with NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver offering complete functionality for all switch modules. For additional assistance in configuring, programming, and managing higher-channel-count switching systems, NI Switch Executive software offers an easy-to use, intelligent switch management and visual routing environment. Ordering Information NI PXI-2564 ........................................................................778572-64 Relay Count Tracking The PXI-2564 counts relay closures on each of its high-power relays. The counts are stored onboard and can be retrieved as necessary for predictive maintenance to reduce unexpected system downtime. Automatic Scanning The PXI-2564 maximizes throughput in automated test applications by the use of scanning. Scanning improves throughput by downloading a list of up to 32,000 connections to the switch and cycling through the list using an event (trigger) without any interruption from the host processor. Scanning is most efficiently accomplished by mating the PXI-2564 with a companion modular instrument that will issue a trigger after each measurement is complete.
