    Caution  

    The protection provided by the PXIe-2514 can be impaired if it is used in a manner not described in this document.

    About These Specifications

    Specifications characterize the warranted performance of the instrument under the following operating conditions:

    • The PXI/PXIe chassis fan speed is set to High.
    • The fan filters are clean.
    • The empty slots contain filler panels.

    For more information, refer to the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users document available at ni.com/manuals.

    Typical specifications are specifications met by the majority of the instruments under the stated operating conditions. Typical specifications are not warranted.

    Data provided in this document are specifications unless otherwise noted.

    Input Characteristics

    All input characteristics are DC, ACrms, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

    Maximum switching voltage

    28 VDC, 19.8 V ACrms, CAT I[1]
    spd-note-caution
    Caution  

    Steady state voltages applied to the NI 2514 between any two I/O connector pins in excess of the maximum switching voltage specification may damage this module.

    spd-note-caution
    Caution  

    This module is rated for Measurement Category I and intended to carry signal voltages no greater than19.8 Vrms/28 Vpk/28 VDC. Do not use this module for connection to signals or for measurements within Categories II, III, or IV. Do not connect to MAINs supply circuits (for example, wall outlets) of 115 or 230 VAC.

    spd-note-note
    Note  

    Signal connections through the PXIe-2514 are intended to go through the DUTn pin connections. Signal paths that do not use the DUTn pin connections may exceed the module’s thermal capabilities. Refer to the connector pinout in the Diagrams section of this document for DUTn pin connections.

    Maximum continuous current (per channel or common, switching or carry)

    Single path closed

    40 A

    Multiple paths closed

    25A

    Maximum pulsed current

    200 A (for 1100 μs max)

    spd-note-caution
    Caution  

    The maximum switching power is limited by the maximum switching current and the maximum voltage, and must not exceed 1,120 W.

    Maximum switching power (per channel)

    1,120 W

    Use the following equation to determine the Maximum Possible Pulse Width (seconds) for a given Maximum Inrush Current “peak” amplitude (Amps) and Steady State Current (Amps).

    MaxPulseWidth ⁢ = 45.5 ⁢ −   0.02 ⁢ ⋅   ( I SteadyState ) 2 ( I PeakInrush ) 2
    DC path resistance

    Typical

    5.5 mΩ

    Maximum

    10 mΩ

    Typical bandwidth (50 Ω system)

    >800 kHz

    Overcurrent Detection

    Overcurrent detection limit

    41 A typical

    Overcurrent detection delay

    20 ms
    spd-note-note
    Note  

    After a switch operation, an overcurrent error condition occurs when both the overcurrent limit of the module is exceeded, and the overcurrent delay time has expired.

    Overtemperature Detection

    To help protect against fault conditions, the PXIe-2514 incorporates circuitry to detect overtemperature conditions.

    spd-note-note
    Note  

    Exceeding the module’s thermal limit induces an overtemperature condition.

    spd-note-note
    Note  

    Overtemperature conditions are created when excessive power is dissipated in the channel paths such as when switching large impulses created by switching into capacitive or inductive loads or when switching a signal at a higher rate than the module dissipates the generated heat. Refer to the figures below for information about the maximum cycle rate.

    The Switching Current Waveform graph indicates where on the inrush waveform you can find the parameters necessary for determining maximum cycle rate.

    Figure 3. Maximum Cycle Rate for Multiple Paths Closed
    Figure 4. Maximum Cycle Rate Derating Factor by Pulse Width

    Determining the Maximum Cycle Rate

    Complete the following steps and use the figures above to determine the maximum cycle rate at which a channel can be switched when the peak impulse current value and duration are known.
    1. Using the Maximum Cycle Rate graph, choose the graph line that meets or exceeds the peak inrush current value of the signal being switched. Find the point on the trace that equates to the steady state current being switched by the load.
    2. Find the corresponding intersection on the y-axis which indicates the maximum cycle rate allowed for a signal with a 50 μs maximum inrush pulse duration.
    3. Find the point on the Maximum Cycle Rate Derating Factor by Pulse Width graph that corresponds to the measured pulse width of the inrush current pulse. Find the corresponding derating factor.

      Then calculate the maximum cycle rate using the following equation: MaxCycleRate ⁢ =   C R 50 μ s ⋅ D F ( H z )    

      where CR50 μs = max cycle rate for a 50 μs wide inrush current pulse in Hz

      DF = derating factor

      spd-note-note
      Note  

      If the peak impulse current does not exceed 40 A, do not derate the maximum cycle rate below 31 Hz.

    Example 1—Single Path Closed

    For switching a steady state current of 4 A into a load with peak inrush current of 180 A that lasts for 400 μs, choose the 200 A graph line in the Maximum Cycle Rate graph. Find the y-axis value that corresponds to the 16 A load current (650 Hz). Then find the derating factor in the Maximum Cycle Rate Derating Factor by Pulse Width graph that corresponds to 400 μs (0.1).

    The maximum cycle rate at which this signal can be switched by the module is calculated as follows:

    MaxCycleRate ⁢ =   650 ⁢ H z ⁢ ⋅   0.1 ⁢ ≅ 65 ⁢   H z

    For switching a steady state current of 15 A into a load with peak inrush current of 180 A that lasts for 400 μs while another channel is also carrying 25 A, choose the 200 A graph line in the Maximum Cycle Rate for Multiple Paths Closed graph. Find the y-axis value that corresponds to the 15 A load current (300 Hz.) Then find the derating factor in the Maximum Cycle Rate Derating Factor by Pulse Width graph that corresponds to 400 μs (0.1).

    The maximum cycle rate at which this signal can be switched by the module is calculated as follows:

    MaxCycleRate =   300 ⁢ H z ⁢ ⋅ 0.1 ⁢ =   30 ⁢ H z
