Product Description

The NI PXI-2586 is a high-power, general-purpose relay module designed for the PXI platform. It’s a single-slot, 3U PXI module that provides 10 independent Single-Pole Single-Throw (SPST) relays, also known as Form A relays. These electromechanical relays are built to handle both high currents and high voltages, making them suitable for a variety of demanding applications.

Product Specifications

• • • Relay Configuration: 10 independent SPST (Form A) relays
    • Maximum Switching Voltage: 300 VDC / 300 VAC (CAT II)
    • Maximum Switching/Carry Current: 12 A per channel
    • Switch Bandwidth: ≥20 MHz (typical)
    • Scan Rate: 65 cycles/s
    • I/O Connector: 20-position, Positronic GMCT series plug
    • Module Type: Single-slot, 3U PXI

    Product Advantages

    The PXI-2586 offers several key advantages that make it a robust and reliable solution:

    • High-Power Handling: With the ability to switch up to 12 A and 300 V, it’s ideal for controlling power signals and loads that are beyond the capabilities of standard switches.
    • Seamless PXI Integration: As a PXI module, it integrates into the PXI chassis, leveraging its timing and synchronization capabilities for precise control.
    • Software Programmability: The module is fully software programmable using the NI-SWITCH driver, which is IVI-compliant. This makes it easy to control and integrate into test applications using software like NI LabVIEW.
    • Field-Replaceable Relays: The relays are designed to be field-replaceable, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.

    Applications

    The PXI-2586 is a versatile switch module, making it suitable for a variety of applications that require robust, high-power switching:

    • Automotive Testing: Switching high-current signals and loads for vehicle components, such as batteries and power systems.
    • Power Supply Testing: Controlling high-voltage and high-current paths in power supply test systems.
    • Industrial Automation: Routing and controlling power signals for motors, solenoids, and other industrial equipment.
    • Battery Testing: Acting as a switching element in battery charge/discharge cycles.

    Important Considerations

    To ensure the best performance and to protect the module, keep these important notes in mind:

    • Inductive Loads: Switching inductive loads (like motors or solenoids) can produce high voltage transients that can exceed the module’s rated voltage and shorten relay life. It is highly recommended to use transient suppression (e.g., flyback diodes) to protect the relays.
    • Load Derating: The maximum current and power ratings are dependent on the ambient temperature and the number of channels carrying a signal simultaneously. Refer to the product manual for specific derating charts to avoid damaging the module.
    • Proper Cabling: To comply with EMC standards and ensure proper performance, it’s crucial to use shielded cables and accessories with this module.
    • Software and Drivers: The PXI-2586 requires the appropriate NI-SWITCH driver software to be installed and configured correctly.
