National Instruments 782384-01

The National Instruments 782384-01 PXIe-2532B PXI Matrix Switch Module serves as a versatile solution for signal switching and routing in industrial automation. This module supports multiple configurable topologies, including 1-wire and 2-wire options in dual and quad arrangements, allowing for flexible integration in various applications. It features a maximum input switching voltage of 100 V from channel to channel and 100 V CAT channel to ground, with a maximum current rating of 0.5 A per channel and a maximum switching power of 10 W per channel. The module exhibits low DC isolation resistance, measuring less than 1 Ω at initial use and less than 2 Ω at the end of life.

For synchronization with other modules, the input source trigger signals can be routed to trigger lines 0 through 7 with a minimum pulse width of 150 ns. Likewise, the output trigger signals may be routed to the same lines, supporting pulse widths ranging from 1 μs to 62 μs. The system requires 10 W at 5 V and 2 W at 3.3 V for operation.

The 782384-01 is designed as a single-slot, 3U PXI module, compatible with PXI or cPCI systems and measures 18.5 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm (7.3 in × 0.8 in × 5.1 in), weighing 454 g (1 lb). It is operational in ambient temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures from -20 °C to 70 °C, with a relative humidity rating of 5% to 85%, non-condensing. Designed for indoor use and classified under Pollution degree 2, this module is suitable for environments with low to moderate contamination levels. It can be mounted at altitudes of up to 2000 meters, featuring an operational shock rating of 30 g peak over a half-sine 11 ms pulse, and is built to withstand random vibrations from 5 Hz to 500 Hz at 0.3 grms, making it ideal for challenging working conditions.
