PXI modules used within automatic test systems to simulate common fault conditions
Pickering Interfaces
PXI Fault Insertion modules
Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI Fault Insertion modules, which are used within automatic test systems to simulate common fault conditions such as open, short-to-ground or short-to-other connections in a device under test.
The 40-197 provides up to 34 fault-insertion channels that can be connected to any of four fault-bus connections, each having two different conditions.
Each fault-insertion channel can switch up to 220V DC at 60W and each channel can carry and hot switch 2A continuously, and up to 6A carry for short-duration surge currents.
The 40-197 bridges the gap between Pickering’s simpler fault-insertion offerings and more complex FIBO options, while the 40-198 is designed to fill a gap between Pickering’s 2A and 10A standard topology fault-insertion solutions, the company claims.
Key specifications
- 40-198 supports up to 20 fault-insertion channels that can be connected to one of two fault-insertion buses
- Each fault-insertion bus has three optional fault definitions
- Hot-switching capabilities of up to 110V DC and 150W
- Each channel can carry and hot switch 5A continuously and up to 10A carry for short-duration surge currents
- Uses a switch design based around quality electro-mechanical relays
- Supported in any PXI-compliant chassis
- Can be supported in Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis
