National Instruments PXI-1056 Dual-Stack High-Speed Chassis
The National Instruments PXI-1056 is a 3U/6U dual-stack chassis that can fit a 4-slot controller and 6U and 3U modules. This chassis can fit as many as seven 6U dual stack slots and four 3U slots for a total of seventeen peripheral slots. A 6U module is two times the height of a 3U module. The NI PXI-1056 dual-stacks 3U modules sideways in the chassis. The PXI-1056 acknowledges all NI PXI inserted and remote controllers, including Pentium M and Pentium 4 installed controllers that run Windows or LabVIEW Real-Time. The chassis is intended for applications where custom 6U modules or top-of-the-line RF modules, accessible in the 6U format, should be utilized as part of a single framework with 3U modules monetarily accessible from various sellers. More than 1,150 PXI/CompactPCI products are accessible in the 3U PXI format, so there is a vast number of 3U modules from which to pick. This model offers 5 part numbers: 779469-05 converts 5 6U slots to 10 3U slots, 779469-04 converts 4 6U slots to 8 3U slots, 779470-01 converts 1 6U slot to 2 3U slots, 779469-03 converts 3 6U slots to 6 3U slots, and 779469-02 converts 2 6U slots to 4 3U slots.
The PXI-1056 Chassis gives control over the whole operating scope of 0 to 55°C with a vigorous power supply situated in a removable power carrier with an MTTR of less than 5 minutes. Six double-shading LED markers on the front board show frame status, four demonstrate the status of voltage rails (+3.3, 5, +12, and -12 V), one shows fan status (FAN), and another demonstrates an over-temperature condition (TEMP). There is additionally an AUTO/HIGH fan speed selector switch that modifies fan speed based on the chassis inlet temperature.
