PXI1012 12-slot PXI chassis-Slot Chassis-Aerospace and Defense Electronic Testing

   The PXI1012 is a standard 12-slot 3U PXI chassis. Its main functions and purposes are to provide a physical platform, power supply, cooling and communication infrastructure for building a modular and high-performance automated test and measurement system.

Product Description from the Supplier

    The PXI1012 12-slot chassis is not merely a "box" or a "power supply"; it is the core infrastructure for building a standardized, high-performance, and highly reliable PXI test system. It is responsible for providing all the physical and electrical support needed for the operation of the modules and ensuring that the entire system can work precisely, stably, and cooperatively.

Technical Specifications  

Typical application fields

• Automated Test Equipment (ATE) system
• Data collection and recording system
• Communication and radio frequency testing (such as 5G component testing)
• Aerospace and Defense Electronic Testing
• Automotive electronic testing
• Research and Laboratory Measurements

Core Functionality

• The foundation of system integration: It is the "framework" that connects the PXI controller and various functional modules (such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, switch matrices, signal generators, RF analyzers, etc.), integrating all independent modules into a unified and interoperable testing system.
• Ensure system reliability and stability: Through its integrated high-quality power supply, overload protection and intelligent temperature control system, it provides a clean, stable and reliable working environment for the expensive internal test modules, reducing system failures caused by power supply or heat dissipation issues.
• Achieving high-performance synchronization and triggering: The star-shaped triggering architecture and precise wiring on the backplane are the key to building high-performance, multi-channel synchronous measurement systems (such as phased array radar testing, multi-axis motion control, high-speed digitizer arrays). This is much more accurate and reliable than achieving synchronization through external cable connections.
• Simplifying system setup and maintenance:
• Modularization: Users can select and replace modules according to their testing requirements, just like building with building blocks. The system is highly flexible for upgrades and reconfigurations.
• Centralized power supply and management: Eliminates the need to configure separate power supplies for each instrument and the hassle of dealing with heat dissipation.
• Compactification: By integrating numerous instrument functions into a device with a width of 4U standard chassis (suitable for 19-inch rack installation), it significantly reduces the space required for the test bench or cabinet.

Key Features

• Each chassis is composed of a high-performance backplane, chassis structure, power supply module, fan control module, and other components.

• The rear panel supports input and output of a 10MHz reference clock, enabling multi-chassis synchronization for convenient applications.

• The fan speed supports three modes: "Off," "Auto," and "High," providing greater flexibility in use.

• Equipped with remote power monitoring functionality, allowing users to monitor the operating status of the system power supply in real time.

• Offers multiple slot configurations, enabling more flexible system setups.

• Utilizes industrial-grade components for enhanced environmental adaptability and higher reliability.

Custom Design Solutions

The design and manufacturing capabilities of the PXI1012 and PXI12 chassis are far beyond the simple manufacturing of a "metal box". It is a mid-to-high-end PXI system platform, and its core capabilities are embodied in: 
The "star trigger backplane" and "high-precision power supply" support the high-performance synchronous measurement system. 
The system achieves compactness and high reliability through the "high-density modular structure" and "intelligent temperature control". 
The overall design of it demonstrates the manufacturer's comprehensive engineering capabilities in multiple interdisciplinary fields such as mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics and signal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many modules can this chassis accommodate?

A: There are a total of 12 slots. However, please note: The first slot (the leftmost one) is the system slot and must be inserted with a controller or a controller expansion card; the second slot is the star trigger slot, and it is recommended to insert modules that require high precision synchronization (such as high-speed acquisition cards); the remaining slots 3 to 12 are general PXI/CompactPCI module slots.

Q: Which operating systems are supported?

A:The chassis itself does not rely on the operating system. The operating system support depends on the PXI controller you choose. Currently, the mainstream PXI controllers usually support Windows 10/11 and Linux systems.

Q: Is it compatible with PXI modules from other brands?

A:Fully compatible. As long as the modules comply with the PXI or CompactPCI hardware specifications, they can be mixed and used regardless of the brand (NI, Keysight, ADLINK, LeCroy, etc.). The software drivers need to be installed separately.

Q: Can it be installed on the shelf? What is its size?

A: OK. It is a standard 4U high (approximately 177.8mm) and 19-inch wide rack-mounted chassis. Specific dimensions: Width x Height x Depth = 482.6mm (19 inches) x 177.8mm (4U) x 429.5mm. Please ensure that the depth of the cabinet is sufficient.
