High Voltage Switch Matrix?

[chericks1]

Hi MaxXx,

A mating backshell and 78-pin DSUB connector is provided as part of the shipping kit, as discussed in the specifications and referenced in the linked How to Connect document.

How to Connect Signals to the PXI-2567

The 78-pin DSUB connector has solder cups, enabling you to solder wires directly and thus you can make your own cable.  If you would rather use a 3rd party cable, you can also do that - just be sure the cable/connectors are rated for 60 V, 5 A as shown in the specifications.

Let me know if you have further questions!

Hi Jeff,

I currently have been looking at putting a test system together, ran by LabVIEW, that will allow me to perform AC Hipot testing to 3400 VAC, DC Hipot testing to 1500 VDC+ and LCR measurements.  Granted NI doesn't have test equipment that will go that high for voltage, but I found a company that has high voltage switching matrix units that you can control over an IEEE-488 interface.  All of the test equipment that I am combining has the bus for an interface option and the companies have drivers available to use.

Without knowing your budget, I don't know if they would be in your price range; however, the company name is Cytec-ATE.  You can find them at www.cytec-ate.com.  Checkout the HXV series switches.  Those are the ones that I am considering to upgrade a very old test system that I have in place.

Hello,

Thank you Chad for your help. I have purchased a PXI chasis, the PXI2567 relay driver module, and 3kV relay swtiches. I set everything up and they all worked great. I was able to control and automate high voltage devices, which allowed my lab to conduct experiments a lot faster and more efficient. 

Thank you

Max
