PXI-1002

1. Product Overview The PXI-1002 is a low-cost, compact 4-slot PXI chassis introduced by National Instruments (NI), part of the PXI/CompactPCI universal platform. Designed specifically for miniaturized and portable measurement and control systems, it is compatible with both 3U PXI and CompactPCI modules. Integrating power supply, backplane, and heat dissipation, it is suitable for desktop, rack-mounted, or field-portable applications.

Description

II. Model Description  

PXI: PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation, a modular measurement and control bus based on PCI extensions for instrumentation.  

1002: Product series number; the 1000 series refers to general-purpose PXI chassis, with "02" indicating a 4-slot, entry-level compact configuration.  

Part Number: 778114-01 (standard model).


III. Technical Specifications  

Slot Configuration: 4 PXI slots (1 controller slot + 3 peripheral slots); 3 controller expansion slots (on the left side of the controller).  


Power Supply:  

Input: 90–264 VAC (universal mains), 47–63 Hz.  

Output: 170 W (maximum available power).  

Voltage: +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, -12 V, compliant with PXI module power requirements.  


Backplane and Synchronization:  

Compatible with PXI Rev 1.0 and CompactPCI PICMG 2.0 standards.  

10 MHz reference clock, star trigger bus, and local inter-module bus.  


Physical Specifications:  

Dimensions: 4U height (177 mm), standard rack width.  

Weight: Approximately 5.4 kg (excluding modules).  


Environmental Conditions:  

Operating Temperature: 0–50 °C.  

Storage Temperature: -40–70 °C.  

Humidity: 10%–90% (non-condensing).  


IV. Interfaces and Communication Configuration  

PXI Backplane Bus: 32-bit PCI bus supporting DMA and plug-and-play functionality.  


Trigger and Synchronization:  

Star Trigger: Independent trigger lines from the controller slot to each peripheral slot.  

10 MHz Clock: Global backplane reference clock for multi-module synchronization.  

Local Bus: High-speed point-to-point communication between adjacent modules.  


External Interfaces:  

Power switch, AC power input (IEC standard).  

Optional side handle and feet pads for portability and desktop placement.  


V. Core Features  

Compact System Integration: 4-slot design saves space, ideal for small to medium-sized measurement and control systems with 1–3 peripheral modules.  

Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Fully compatible with 3U PXI and CompactPCI modules—no additional adapters required.  

High-Precision Synchronization: Integrated 10 MHz clock and star trigger on the backplane ensure synchronized data acquisition/output across multiple modules.  

Portable and Rack-Mountable: 4U standard rack height with optional handle, suitable for lab, production line, or field applications.  

Stable Power Supply: 170 W high-efficiency power supply with wide voltage input range, compatible with global power grids.  


VI. Application Scenarios  

Small-Scale Automated Testing: Functional testing of electronic products, rapid inspection on production lines.  

Data Acquisition Systems: Sensor signal collection, vibration/noise monitoring, low-speed dynamic signal recording.  

Portable Measurement and Control: Field equipment inspection, vehicle-mounted testing, on-site fault diagnosis.  

Education and Research: Laboratory teaching platforms, compact measurement systems for small-scale research projects.  


VII. Installation and Maintenance Instructions  

Installation:  

Rack Mounting: Install into a standard 4U cabinet using guide rails or screws.  

Desktop/Portable Use: Attach optional feet pads and side handle for stable placement.  

Module Installation: Insert 3U PXI/CompactPCI modules while powered off, then secure with mounting screws.  


Power-Up and Operation:  

Connect to a 90–264 VAC power source and turn on the chassis power switch.  

The controller automatically detects modules; install drivers and system is ready for use.  


Maintenance:  

Regular Cleaning: After powering off, use a soft brush to remove dust from front and rear ventilation openings to prevent heat dissipation blockage.  

Environment: Avoid humid, dusty, or high electromagnetic interference environments. Maintain operating temperature within 0–50 °C. Module maintenance: Power must be turned off before inserting or removing modules to prevent electrostatic damage and avoid severe vibration.
