80-Channel, 2 A, SPST PXI Relay Module

Overview

The PXI-2520 is a general-purpose switch module that features independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) Form A armature relays. Each relay is nonlatching with very low on-resistance and low thermal offsets. The PXI-2520 is fully software programmable, and it supports onboard relay count tracking. With an efficient coupling of voltage/current capability and relay density, this switch module is ideal for automated test equipment (ATE) loads or for controlling heaters, lights, and fans.

    Recommended for engineers building full test and validation systems where modular code development and higher-level frameworks are needed to accelerate development for shorter time to market.

    The LabVIEW+ Suite includes the following products:

    • NI LabVIEW—Provides a graphical programming environment for test system development, enabling connectivity to any instrument and fully integrated user interfaces.
    • NI TestStand—Eliminates the need for time-intensive in-house sequencer development and maintenance by providing an off-the-shelf test management software for validation and production test.
    • NI DIAdem—Saves engineers hundreds of hours of manual data analysis and report creation with automation.
    • NI FlexLogger™ software—Simplifies data acquisition and data logging with interactive measurement setup for NI DAQ hardware.
    • NI InstrumentStudio™ software—Provides a central location for configuration, measurement, and automation.
    InstrumentStudio Professional (789987-35)
    InstrumentStudio Professional, Subscription License, Download

    Recommended for quick and easy instrument measurements. Leverage the sequencer built into InstrumentStudio to automate tests and measurements with no prior coding experience required. Create and use plug-ins to interface with third-party hardware and take custom measurements.

    Key Workflows

    • Quickly configure and control instruments in an interactive, project-based environment.
    • Take custom measurements and control third-party hardware using the plug-ins feature.
    • Bridge the gap between first measurement to automation using the built in sequencer, or export configurations to advanced automation tools such as NI TestStand and NI LabVIEW.
