Data Sheet


The NI PXIe-2512 fault insertion unit (FIU) is designed for use in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) applications and electronic reliability tests. Each module has a set of feedthrough channels, which, when closed, make the switch transparent to the system. You can open or short these channels to one of two fault buses. You can use this architecture to simulate open or interrupted connections as well as shorts between pins, shorts to battery voltages, and shorts to ground on a per-channel basis. When controlled with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module, this FIU is ideal for validating the reliability of control systems such as engine control units (ECUs), full authority digital engine controls (FADECs), and more with up to 10 A loading conditions.

You need a cable to transmit signals to and from your device.
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.
