NXI-4200 Series – Modular Universal Relay Control Modules for Automated Test Environments

The NXI-4200 Series was developed as a highly reliable switching solution for modern industrial test environments and is suitable for research, development, and quality assurance applications. The modules can be operated either in the NXI-F1000 chassis or as autonomous stand-alone units, providing high flexibility for centralized and decentralized test architectures.

A key advantage is the consistent galvanic isolation between the control and switching circuits, which reduces the risk of system damage and significantly improves operational safety.

This creates a robust platform for precise signal switching, safe AC/DC switching, and scalable automation in demanding test systems.

Key Benefits

8A
High Switching Capacity
Support for loads up to 2000 VA or 150 W enables safe control of power-intensive components.
4kV
High Electrical Isolation
Dielectric strength up to 4000 V AC between coil and contact reliably protects the control electronics from feedback originating in the load circuit.
LIFE
Long Service Life
Up to 10^7 mechanical switching cycles and up to 1 × 10^5 electrical cycles ensure long-term investment protection in continuous operation.
100m
Low Contact Resistance
A contact resistance of max. 100 mΩ supports high signal integrity in measurement and switching applications.
LAN
Network-Capable Control
Integration via LAN with standard protocols such as SCPI and Modbus-RTU simplifies implementation into existing test systems.
1SL
Compact Design
The single-slot architecture maximizes channel density while minimizing chassis space requirements and supports scalable test setups.

Typical Applications

The NXI-4200 Series is ideal for automated test systems and switching tasks where operational safety, signal integrity, and flexible system integration are essential.

ATE
Automated Test Systems

Scalable signal distribution to increase test throughput in modular ATE environments.

ON/OFF
Signal ON/OFF Simulations

Realistic simulation of switching processes for development, validation, and testing procedures.

CTRL
Integrated Circuit Control

Central monitoring and control of switching paths in complex test benches and system architectures.

AC/DC
AC/DC Switching

Safe switching between different voltage and current sources, including more demanding power applications.

LAB
Laboratory and Development

Flexible switching solution for manual and automated setups in research and development.

QA
Quality Assurance

Robust signal switching for repeatable test cycles and stable testing processes in industrial environments.

Functional Concept and System Architecture

The technical foundation of the series is based on electromagnetic relays in SPST topology. The control level is consistently decoupled from the switching path to ensure safety and signal integrity, even in demanding test environments.

SPST
Relays in SPST Topology
The single-pole single-throw architecture ensures clear and reliable switching performance in automated test processes.
ISO
Separated Control and Load Circuits
Complete decoupling increases safety and reduces feedback from the load circuit to the control electronics.
10ms
Fast Switching Time
Typical switching times of around 10 ms support short response times in automated test cycles.
NXI
Chassis or Stand-Alone Operation
Flexible use in the NXI-F1000 chassis or as an autonomous unit for decentralized testing and switching tasks.
AUTO
Suitable for Long-Term Testing
The combination of robust construction and long service life makes these modules ideal for automated endurance testing.
NET
Decentralized Remote Control
The LAN interface enables flexible integration into distributed measurement and test architectures.
