For this reason, Pickering Interfaces has introduced built in self test to select models in the PXI switching range. This feature is called BIRST™, or Built In Relay Self Test. • • • • • • • • • • • • 40-560A BRIC™ 150 Volt, 0.5 Amp, 1 Pole Matrix Relay Family (see page 29) 50-561A BRIC™ 150 Volt, 0.5 Amp, 1 Pole, 1 Pole Screened, or 2 Pole Relay Matrix Family (see page 29) 40-562A BRIC™ 150 Volt, 1 Amp, 1 Pole, 1 Pole Screened, or 2 Pole Relay Matrix Family (see page 29) 40-563A BRIC™ 40 Volt, 0.25 Amp, 1 Pole Solid State Matrix Family (see page 29) 40-565A & 40-566A BRIC™ 300 Volt, 2 Amp, 2 Pole Matrix Family (see page 32) 40-584 128 X 2, 300 Volt, 2 Amp, 1-Pole VHD Matrix Module (see page 27) 40-585 64 X 4, 300 Volt, 2 Amp, 1-Pole VHD Matrix Module (see page 27) 40-586 32X 8, 300 Volt, 2 Amp, 1-Pole VHD Matrix Module (see page 27) 40-587 16 X 16, 300 Volt, 2 Amp, 1-Pole VHD Matrix Module (see page 27) 40-527 64×2, 300V, 2Amp, 1-Pole HD Matrix Module (see page 26) 40-528 32x4, 300V, 2Amp, 1-Pole HD Matrix Module (see page 26) 40-529 16x8, 300V, 2Amp, 1-Pole HD Matrix Module (see page 26) The BIRST tool allows the user to very easily check system switching operation on command. BIRST will identify any relay failures in the switch module and is capable of detecting relays with deteriorating contacts which may indicate they are in the process of failing. BIRST The first range of modules with built in self test have been released and include: BIRST is a far more effective method for managing the life of switching systems than older measures such as relay operation counting as they do not take account of the switching load conditions – factors that have an impact of three or four orders of magnitude on relay life. To conduct a test the user simply disconnects the switching module from the UUT and runs the supplied application program. No supporting test equipment is needed; the test simply runs and identifies the position of any defective or suspect relays within the module. The BIRST™ Tool BIRST™ is a sophisticated diagnostic tool, which allows a complete relay self test of a Matrix module. The BIRST™ is an easy to use, tool that is especially useful in remote production sites where local technical support may be limited. It provides the following features and capabilities: • Complete Matrix self-test capability • High fault coverage, self-test tool • Tests for all relay fault types (bad open or bad close) • Identifies faults to individual component relay level • Test sequencer allows detailed control of testing • Test results shown on screen or sent to log file • Runs single or repeat tests for maximum confidence Test Sequencer Front Panel for BIRST™. This allows any combination of tests to be run in either single or multiple sequences. All test data is displayed in the results window and can be written to a data file. 5 PXI APPLICATION EXAMPLES Pickering can develop custom PXI solutions to suit the specific application required by the customer. Please contact the sales office if you have a particular test system requirement. One example developed by Pickering is a switching system designed for use in the testing of mobile phones. It is expandable and capable of supporting between 2 and 12 phones under test. Three different signal types are routed: • RF between the phone and the test equipment. • Data over USB between the chassis’ embedded controller and the phone. • Power to the phone under test with accompanying voltage sense lines. APPLICATIONS Additionally the system includes a battery simulator to supply power for the phones. To distribute the different signal types to the phones under test , Pickering designed a PXI phone interface module that serves as a multiplexer for RF, USB and power. Another example of a system developed by Pickering for a customer’s application is an automotive battery simulator. This is designed to simulate a battery stack used for electric vehicle propulsion systems and comprises 16 off 41-752 battery simulator modules in a PXI chassis. Each battery simulator module has 6 channels capable of being programmed to supply up to 7 volts. With the channels of each module daisy-chained and all module connected in series, high voltage outputs are achievable. The system includes voltage sensing to compensate for wiring losses. The battery simulator includes a current sink function to emulate the battery stack under charge. 6 PXI Switching System For Testing 10 Mobile Phones PXI Based Battery Simulator System With 16 off 41-752 Modules PXI CHASSIS & CONTROLLER MODULES High Performance PXI Chassis Available with 8, 14, 18 or 19 Slots Desk or Rack Mountable Models Available With Low Acoustic Noise Fans Pickering Interfaces has a range of high performance PXI chassis ranging from 8 to 19 3U slots.

"A Switching Module Is Only As Good As The Relays Used" Ruthenium Sputtered Reed Relays offer maximum performance, are hermetically sealed and offer a very stable, long life relay contact (>109 operations) with fast operate time. Alternative cheaper types such as noninstrumentation grade reed relays (Rhodium plated) don’t offer the consistent contact resistance, long life, fast switching speed and low level switching capability of an instrumentation reed relay. All reed relays used in our switch modules are manufactured by our sister company Pickering Electronics. www.pickeringrelay.com. 51 Pickering Interfaces Switch On to Pickering DIRECT SALES & SUPPORT OFFICES Pickering Interfaces Inc. 2900 Northwest Vine Street Grants Pass Oregon 97526 USA Pickering Interfaces Ltd.
