National Instruments ATE-116F-A

The National Instruments ATE-116F-A is a robust and versatile configuration of the RMX-10011 Instrumentation Rack, featuring a 16 A power supply. This 40U rack is designed to securely house and protect critical power, safety, and mechanical components within automated test stations, allowing for customization to meet specific application requirements. With a total weight of approximately 320 lbs for the base configuration—including the rack, power entry panel, fan panel, and power distribution unit (PDU)—the ATE-116F-A supports a maximum evenly distributed load of up to 1,000 lbs when fully equipped. The rack measures 81.5 in x 23 in x 31.5 in and has a mountable depth of 29.5 in, featuring three sets of 10–32 threaded mounting rails that facilitate flexible heat management and the installation of various equipment sizes. Accessibility is enhanced by a lockable rear door, detachable side walls, quarter-turn inset screws for easy side panel removal, and an option to position the rear door level with the top of the rack or just above the air intake panel. The ATE-116F-A is equipped with a low power IEC 60320 C20 connector on the power entry panel, which also includes a single gigabit Ethernet port and two USB 3.0 ports connected via a 2 m cable. Furthermore, the panel is fortified with essential system safeguards, such as circuit protection and EMI line filtering, as well as a kill-switch relay for emergency power shutdown via the Emergency Power Off (EPO) panel. This configuration is backed by a two-year warranty, reinforcing its reliability in demanding automation environments.
