With a CAT II certification at 300 V, it is capable of routing general-purpose ATE loads or high-voltage, low-current signals. The 600 V CAT I channel-to-ground isolation on the NI PXI-2584 makes it ideal for fuel cell and battery stack applications. You also can use the module in multimodule configurations for taking measurements on hundreds of channels. The CAT I and CAT II safety ratings combined with UL safety certification make it ideally suited for high-voltage ATE systems that include the NI PXI-4071 1000 V digital multimeter. The reed relays in the PXI-2584 also ensure longer lifetimes and faster actuation times for test equipment. Interleaved Topology for Maximum Channel Count Interleaved topology is a method to increase channel count when measuring potentials that are on a stack such as battery stacks and fuel cell stacks. In traditional 2-wire topologies, each channel would put two wires across each component under test, which would limit the PXI-2584 to six differential channels. By putting each single input pin on the front connector at points in between potentials on a stack, the channel count is extended from six to 11 2-wire channels. In addition to maximizing channel count on a module, the topology offers a free “straddle” channel when testing battery stacks over multiple modules. The PXI-2584 Interleaved Topology Maximizes Channel Count 12-Channel, 300 V CAT II, 600 V CAT I Multiplexer Relay Count Tracking Specifications The PXI-2584 counts relay closures on each of its high-voltage relays. Relay counts are incremented each time a relay is actuated. The counts, stored onboard the module, are retrievable programmatically and can be used for predictive maintenance to reduce unexpected system downtime. Relay Characteristics Automatic Scanning The PXI-2584 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-2584 with other instruments such as the PXI-4071 1000 V FlexDMM, which issues a trigger after each measurement is complete.
