  • Page 13: Technical Description

    The 41/43-765 is designed to meet the requirements of industrial control applications utilising current loops 4 – 20mA. It is designed in the form of a typical PXI/PXIe module, supported by a PXI/PXIe, chassis or Pickering’s LXI/ USB chassis. The module is also designed to support PXIe communication but not as hybrid - please contact the Pickering sales office for details.

  • Page 15: Connectivity Notes

    SECTION 2 - TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION pickering Connectivity Notes The 41/43-765 module doesn’t generally need an external PSU. The external PSU is only needed in cases where there are ground loops between the simulator module and DUT - this is a rare occurrence in majority of compact test systems, however, it can be a problem in systems spanning large distances.

  • Page 17: Installation

    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/PXIe/LXI chassis. The module is for indoor use only. PREOPERATION CHECKS (UNPACKING) 1. Check the module for transport damage and report any damage immediately to Pickering Interfaces. Do not attempt to install the product if any damage is evident.

  • Page 18: Hardware Installation

    For a system comprising more than one chassis, turn ON the last chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc, and finally turn ON the external controller or chassis containing the system controller. 9. For Pickering Interfaces modular LXI installation there is no requirement to use any particular power up sequence.
