NI PXI-2534

256-Crosspoint SSR Matrix

Configure Page for: Print PDF Rich Text
  • 8x32 (1-wire) matrix configuration
  • Up to 55 V and 1 A (55 W switching power)
  • Unlimited switch mechanical lifetime
  • Unlimited simultaneous crosspoint connections (nonblocking)
  • 400 crosspoints/s switching speed
  • Direct SCSI connectivity


The National Instruments PXI-2534 high-density solid-state relay (SSR) matrix module features 256 crosspoints in a compact, single-slot, 3U PXI form factor. The NI PXI-2534 is configured as a 8x32 one-wire matrix. Because the module uses SSR technology, it offers unique benefits such as unlimited mechanical lifetime and the ability to route 55 W simultaneously on all channels (unlimited simultaneous connections). These features make the PXI-2534 ideal for routing general-purpose signals in high-density matrix applications.

Connecting Signals to the PXI-2534
The PXI-2534 breaks out switch connections into a single 68-pin SCSI connector. You can connect signals to the PXI-2534 using the NI TB-2637 front-mounting terminal block. For remote connectivity, you can use the NI SH68-68S cable, which connects to a remote, DIN-rail-mountable terminal block (NI TBX-68). Both methods provide screw-terminal connectivity.

NI Switch Executive Switch Management Software
NI Switch Executive is an intelligent switch management and routing application. With NI Switch Executive, you gain increased development productivity by interactively configuring and naming switch modules, external connections, and signal routes. You also increase test code reuse and system performance with switch programming in conjunction with NI TestStand, LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio. These features are especially important when using high-density switch modules such as the PXI-2534. Ultimately, NI Switch Executive simplifies switch system configuration and increases test performance, lowering your cost to test.

Since your device does not have direct signal connectivity, you need a terminal block to act as an interface between your sensors/signals and your device. A terminal block provides easy access to the inputs and outputs of your hardware.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
