The modular construction of the scalable LXI platform allows for great flexibility: as your needs evolve, additional plug-in modules can be easily added, and the control software automatically detects the new configuration. Plug-in arrays are loaded into the chassis via the front panel, significantly improving ease of maintenance. The 400 V version (model 65-218-101) can utilize the internal analog bus of the 65-200 chassis to connect 50x4 plug-in arrays to form a larger array. Front panel connector interfaces on all 65-218 plug-in modules are via nine-pin and 50-pin D-type high-voltage connectors.
The 65-200 platform offers built-in, triggerable scan list sequence stores, which can be used to increase the efficiency of test systems by allowing predefined test sequences to be loaded into the unit and executed automatically.
The module design has been optimized to minimize path resistance to less than 200mR per pluggable path with a thermal offset of [missing value].
According to Steve Edwards, Pickering's Switching Product Manager: "With a chassis height of only 2U, it's possible to create a scalable high-voltage switching solution using the 65-218 50x4 matrix modules and minimize the area required in the test system cabinet. These high-voltage solutions are ideal for deployment in aerospace testing applications and are also applicable to other sectors, such as automotive."
Extensive accessory support is available, including Pickering's diagnostic tools – Built-in Relay Self-Test (BIRST) and eBIRST Switching System Test – which provide a quick and straightforward way to find relay faults within the modules. Like all Pickering products, these modules come with a three-year warranty. Pickering also offers a range of standard and custom interconnect accessories compatible with the 65-218 modules.
