NI 194043A-01 Power Input Switch Card

The NI 194043A-01 is a Power Input Switch Card engineered for internal integration within National Instruments PXI Express chassis systems. This card manages power distribution and switching operations within compatible chassis platforms, serving as a critical component of the power management subsystem rather than as a standalone peripheral module.

– Technical Specifications

The NI 194043A-01 is designed for integration into two primary chassis platforms: the PXIe-1062Q 8-Slot PXI Express Chassis and the PXIe-1065 18-Slot 3U PXI Express Chassis. As an internal power management component, it operates within the 3U module form factor standard and accommodates 3U PXI, PXI Express, CompactPCI, and CompactPCI Express peripheral modules across available chassis slots.

– Key Features

• Internal chassis component—integrates directly into power distribution architecture
• 3U form factor—compliant with PXI Express standards
• Multi-chassis support—qualified for both 8-slot and 18-slot PXI Express platforms
• Module compatibility—supports PXI, PXI Express, CompactPCI, and CompactPCI Express peripherals

– Typical Applications

The NI 194043A-01 supports test, measurement, and automation systems requiring reliable power switching and distribution across modular PXI Express chassis. It is essential for systems integrating multiple measurement and control modules where centralized power management ensures system stability and module sequencing.

– Compatibility & Integration

This card is compatible with:

• NI PXIe-1062Q 8-Slot PXI Express Chassis
• NI PXIe-1065 18-Slot 3U PXI Express Chassis

The card functions exclusively as an internal chassis component and does not expose user-facing external interfaces. Power distribution and switching mechanisms are integral to the host chassis architecture, enabling seamless operation of all installed peripheral modules.
