NI SwitchBlock
Expandable Large Matrix for PXI
|
|
|
|
Overview
The NI SwitchBlock is a customizable switch optimized for large matrix test systems. It includes an integrated matrix expansion to help you create matrices with more than 8,800 crosspoints in a single PXI chassis. To improve long-term system reliability, the NI SwitchBlock is shipped with the new NI Switch Health Center, which contains an integrated relay test, relay count tracking, and report generation. To accelerate development and simplify maintenance of large matrix applications, NI recommends configuring the NI SwitchBlock using NI Switch Executive.Back to Top

Application and Technology
Elegant Matrix Column Expansion
The NI SwitchBlock for PXI provides a clean, simple method to create matrices for large-scale applications. An NI SwitchBlock carrier occupies four PXI slots and holds up to six relay cards. You can connect these relay cards via a carrier's integrated analog bus to easily create large matrices with more than 2,000 crosspoints.
Figure 1. NI SwitchBlock carriers can hold six relay cards and occupy four PXI slots.
For even larger matrices, you can link multiple carriers together to configure matrices with more than 8,800 crosspoints in a single PXI chassis. This integrated, expandable hardware design helps you streamline switching configurations in automated test systems and reduce development time.
Figure 2. Connect multiple NI SwitchBlock carriers with an expansion bridge to create larger matrices.
>>Learn more about the NI SwitchBlock hardware architecture.
Configuring and Programming the NI SwitchBlock
With NI Switch Executive switch management software, you can graphically configure or automatically route signals across multiple relay cards simply by specifying endpoints. This high level of abstraction helps you quickly begin your application. You can then store, validate, maintain, and scale groups of routes from this single switch management interface. Next, you can programmatically connect these route groups using the NI LabVIEW graphical programming environment or access route groups directly through NI TestStand test management software.
Figure 3. Graphical configuration of route groups in NI Switch Executive simplifies switch management and programming.
>>Learn more about programming the NI SwitchBlock.
Maintenance With the NI Switch Health Center
The reed relays on the NI SwitchBlock were carefully chosen to last for millions of cycles at their rated voltage and current, but demanding automated test systems can take these relays to the end of their specified lifetime. To increase long-term reliability and help with predictive maintenance, you can access the NI Switch Health Center, which can automatically run onboard diagnostics to verify relay continuity and display relay count information. You also can quickly generate a report of the test results from the NI Switch Health Center for documentation in critical applications.
Figure 4. Quickly test the health of each relay in an NI SwitchBlock using the NI Switch Health Center.
>>Learn more about the NI Switch Health Center.
Connecting to the NI SwitchBlock
National Instruments offers standard cables and connector blocks for the NI SwitchBlock. All modules can be broken out to a 96-pin connector block that is designed specifically to provide shielding and safety from each crosspoint of the NI SwitchBlock out to a connection terminal.
For NI SwitchBlock configurations with hundreds or thousands of channels, NI recommends using a mass interconnect solution. These systems provide long-term reliability and simplified connectivity by offering a single point of contact for high-channel-count applications. NI has worked closely with two main vendors on PXI mass interconnect solutions to deliver the best possible connectivity options for the NI SwitchBlock.
