Programmable PXI power supplies
10 July 2013
Power Electronics / Power Management
National Instruments has announced its newest general-purpose programmable power supplies for the PXI platform and designed to form the foundation of automated test systems. The PXIe-4112 and PXIe-4113 modules provide high power density that saves rack space while simplifying design by eliminating the need to mix multiple instrumentation form factors.
They can be programmed with LabVIEW software and paired with NI’s range of PXI hardware instrumentation.
The power supplies are ideal for a range of applications from aerospace and defence to automotive and component test. They feature two 60 W channels in a single PXI Express slot. The PXIe-4112 features 60 V at 1 A per channel and the PXIe-4113 offers 10 V at 6 A per channel. The two channels can be combined to create a single 120 W channel.
To easily synchronise measurements, engineers can combine the power supplies with more than 1500 PXI modular instruments ranging from digital multimeters to RF analysers and generators, and simply trigger the instruments across the PXI chassis backplane.
Engineers can quickly take measurements using soft front panels with an interactive user interface or build fully automated applications using the LabVIEW example programs that come with the power supplies. There are example programs to perform voltage sweeps, source DC current and source DC power.
