National Instruments PXIe-8881 PXI Controller

The PXIe-8881 PXI Controller (Part Numbers: 787807-01, 786636-01, 787805-01, 787805-33, 787806-01) is a PXI Express-compatible system controller that offers high performance, integrated standard input/output features, and user-configurable settings. With the PXIe-8881, PXI Express chassis configurations function as a fully PC-compatible computer. The PXIe-8881 offers the following features: Intel Xeon W-series processors (available in 4-core, 8-core, or 18-core options), 500 GB or larger M.2 NVMe solid-state storage, standard and peripheral I/O, and a maximum controller bandwidth of 24 GB/s.

The PXIe-8881 is equipped with a variety of input and output interfaces, including a DisplayPort 1.2 for video output, an RS-232 serial port (DB-9) for communication, and a mini-GPIB IEEE 488 port for instrument connectivity. It features four high-speed USB 2.0 Type-A ports and two SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, allowing seamless connectivity with peripheral devices. Additionally, the system includes two Thunderbolt 3 Type-C ports, enabling high-speed data transfer and external device expansion. For networking, the PXIe-8881 provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports: an i219 port with Wake-on-LAN support and an i210 port with IEEE 1588 precision timing. The system also integrates an SMB PXI Trigger Bus I/O connector for synchronization with other PXI modules.

The PXIe-8881 supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise or Linux RT operating systems and interacts with PCIe-based instruments. Processor specifications vary depending on the model (4-core, 8-core, or 18-core):

•4-Core Model: Intel Xeon W-2225 (Base 4.1 GHz, Turbo 4.6 GHz, 8.25 MB cache, 16 GB DDR4-2666 RAM)
•8-Core Model: Intel Xeon W-2245 (Base 3.9 GHz, Turbo 4.5 GHz, 16.5 MB cache, 32 GB DDR4-2666 RAM)
•18-Core Model: Intel Xeon W-2295 (Base 3.0 GHz, Turbo 4.6 GHz, 24.75 MB cache, 64 GB DDR4-2666 RAM)

The PXIe-8881 is sensitive to environmental conditions such as altitude, ambient air temperature, relative humidity, operating shock, and vibration during both operation and storage. It requires a PXI chassis with an 82 W per slot cooling capacity to maintain proper thermal performance. This product can be configured through the BIOS setup program, which enables hardware configuration and testing at boot. While advanced users can modify features through BIOS, most users will find the default settings sufficient.

The PXIe-8881 is ideal for processor-intensive applications, including RF testing, modular instrumentation, and data acquisition. It is a modular embedded PC in the PXI Express 3U form factor, providing a high-performance, compact computing solution for PXI, CompactPCI, and PXI Express systems.
