Modular NXI Measurement and Control Chassis for Highly Precise Automated Test Technology
The NXI chassis system is a modular platform for measurement, control, and data acquisition tasks in modern industrial test environments. Based on the Network eXtension Interface architecture, the system combines high bandwidth, flexible scalability, and rugged industrial design for demanding test and automation applications.
By using Gigabit Ethernet, galvanically isolated slots, and support for both compact desktop chassis and powerful rack chassis, the NXI platform is well suited for highly precise measurement tasks in automotive, battery testing, industrial automation, and ATE systems. Its modular structure provides a future-proof hardware foundation for scalable test and control solutions.
Key Advantages of the NXI Platform
Complete Electrical Isolation
Galvanic isolation between the slots prevents ground loops and protects the overall system against common-mode interference in demanding industrial environments.
High Data Throughput
Bandwidths of up to 2 Gbit/s support loss-free transmission of large volumes of data in multi-channel measurement and control applications.
Precise Cross-Module Synchronization
The hardware supports accurate microsecond-level triggering and enables time-critical synchronous measurement and control processes.
Robust Thermal Management
From passive cooling to intelligent fan control, the power dissipation of internal modules is handled efficiently.
Mechanically and Electrically Robust
Aluminum extrusion housings provide high mechanical stability while also supporting EMC protection, ESD resistance, and dust protection.
Standardized Ethernet Communication
The use of established network protocols simplifies integration into existing infrastructures and reduces programming effort.
Typical Application Areas
Battery Cell, Module, and Pack Testing
Reliable measurement and monitoring tasks in high-voltage applications with dielectric strength up to 1500 V to ground.
Automotive Electronics
High-speed data acquisition and precise control for ECU, drivetrain, and component validation.
Industrial Automation
Real-time monitoring of complex manufacturing and process chains with fast signal processing and high reliability.
ATE and Test Systems
From compact desktop workstations to highly integrated 19-inch test systems for series production and laboratory automation.
Functional and System Description
Modular NXI System Architecture
The platform is based on a decentralized communication structure via Gigabit LAN and CAN, creating a flexible foundation for modular test systems.
Support for Compact Function Cards
Function cards in 4HP and 8HP formats enable tailored system configuration for measurement, control, and acquisition tasks.
Optimized for Desktop Systems
The F1010 series features a stackable housing with a concave underside for secure handling and improved ventilation at the workstation.
Main Control Card as Gateway
Larger chassis use a dedicated main control card, while the remaining slots are available for individual configuration with function cards.
Intelligent Fan Control
The safety logic dynamically adjusts fan speed depending on temperature and load, increasing operational reliability.
Protection Against Overvoltage and ESD
Integrated protective mechanisms support stable and reliable operation in industrial test environments.
