Power Switches
SMX-2002 (Power)
-
The SMX-2002 is the only switch module in its class with the ability to switch up to 16A. Some applications include: AC line power switching, switching of DC or AC power supplies, control or driving relays for industrial machines (robotics, numerical control machines), automotive engine control, and solenoid switching. Since this module typically switches power to the UUT or interface, the SMX-2002 includes failsafe pins on the front panel which can be configured to open all relays when a failsafe signal is activated. This approach can instantly removes all power to the UUT or interface.

VXI Chassis
Chassis
The first VXIbus specification was introduced to the test and measurement community in 1987 and was initially developed to provide a card-based instrumentation platform for applications that required high density and high performance. The platform continues to thrive today by leveraging off the original specifications which define the necessary physical (real estate/cooling) and electrical standards for demanding applications and has established itself as the ‘time-tested bus you can trust’ for requirements that must be supported in excess of ten-fifteen years.
