The National Instruments PXIe-1083 Chassis

National Instruments PXIe-1083 (Part Number : 787026-01) is a highly configurable PXI chassis that is intended to satisfy the demanding requirements of high-performance test and measurement applications. It supports hybrid slots compatible with PXI, PXI Express, CompactPCI, and CompactPCI Express modules.

The PXIe-1083 ensures effective data transport and processing with its high-bandwidth, all-hybrid backplane, which offers up to 24 GB/s system bandwidth and 8 GB/s per-slot dedicated capacity. Because of its sturdy construction, which supports up to 82W of power and cooling per slot, it can operate dependably even under demanding conditions. A Thunderbolt 3 MXI-Express controller is incorporated into the chassis, allowing for easy communication and data transmission with compatible devices.

The system's adaptability is increased by the fact that each Thunderbolt port may offer up to 15W of electricity (5V/3A). The PXIe-1083 provides flexibility in deployment across many locations and situations, thanks to its wide operating voltage range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC and operating frequency range of 47 Hz to 63 Hz. In order to provide safe and dependable operation, it has over-voltage protection for the +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails as well as over-current protection with inbuilt fuses. To support various module needs, the chassis has many voltage rails, including +5V_AUX, +12V, +5V, +3.3V, and -12V, each with distinct maximum current ratings and load restrictions. Since all outputs include over-current protection, when overload circumstances are removed, recovery happens automatically.

With a maximum combined power of 180W for the +3.3V and +5V rails, the PXIe-1083 has a maximum total usable power of 293W. Its effective design typically reaches 78% efficiency, which lowers running expenses and electricity consumption. The PXIe-1083 is appropriate for mission-critical applications where uptime is vital since it has optional high availability features including redundant power supply and fans that further improve system dependability.
