PCI From Pickering InterfacesA test system may not require a large number of switching or instrumentation modules or the need for a PXI or LXI chassis. In these cases a PCI switch card may provide a low cost solution that is perfectly adequate. In some cases full length PCI cards can be used that offer more capacity than their PXI equivalents, the complexity limitation usually being the connector space on the card’s panel.Our PCI cards are built using the same basic technology as our acclaimed PXI module range, utilizing the same software drivers, soft front panels and control electronics. They are 100% software compatible allowing users to migrate from PXI to PCI or from PCI to PXI as required by the application. Our range of PCI cards includes:

● General Purpose Relay ● Matrices including High Density & RF ● Multiplexers including High Voltage

● Programmable Resistors ● Relay Drivers and Digital I/O ● Function Generators

A common driver and software package ensures programs can be exchanged with minimal effort between the PCI and PXI platforms.

● Strain Gauge SimulationStrain gauges are used in mechanical systems to measure the tension or compression of structural components. Simulation requires extremely fine setting resolution with high accuracy and temperature stability.

● Load Cell SimulationThe most common implementation is by using Strain Gauges. Programmable resistors in a wheatstone bridge arrangement can be used to simulate an applied force.

● Pressure Sensor SimulationFor the simulation of pressure senders in mechanical systems or barometric pressure sensors in applications such as altimeters in the aerospace industry.

● Select on Test ResistanceA programmable resistor can be used in a test environment where a component's value is optimized at the production test stage.

● Load ResistorWhere a circuit under test requires the connection of an external load.

● Position Sensor SimulationRotary or linear position sensors in mechanical systems usually take the form of potentiometers and are used in applications such as throttle position senders in automotive systems.

● Switch SimulationCan be used to simulate the contacts of a worn or contaminated switch for automotive ECU testing.

What is a Programmable Resistor?A Programmable Resistor is designed to emulate the use of resistive sensors and variable resistors in systems when testing devices such as engine controllers.In their simplest form, our programmable resistors consist of a basic chain of resistance values switched in or out of circuit with reed relays, electro-mechanical relays or solid state switches. We also offer multi-channel programmable resistors with very fine value adjustment and high accuracy including programmable resistive bridges for strain gauge emulation.

Selecting a Programmable ResistorWe offer a variety of resistor modules and cards with different features which make them attractive for different applications:

● PlatformSolutions in both the PXI and PCI formats.Ethernet control of any PXI module when installed in an LXI Chassis.

● Number of ChannelsBetween 1 and 18 channels.

● RangeA wide selection of resistance ranges are available with values from a short circuit to millions of Ohms.Modules and cards are available with a narrow setting range and very fine resolution suitable for simulating sensors and strain gauges.

● ResolutionA selection of resistance setting resolutions are available from 10Ω to 2mΩ suitable for a wide range of applications.

● Operating SpeedModules and cards based on electro-mechanical relays have an operating speed of typically 3ms. For higher speed, those based on reed relays are more suitable with an operating speed of typically 0.5ms.

● Power HandlingGenerally 100mW for precision programmable resistors and up to 1W for standard programmable resistors.We also offer a PXI programmable load module with up to 15W power handling (40-292).

● Minimum Resistance ValueThe lower the minimum resistance value required the greater the errors caused by relay contact resistance and copper trace losses.Generally, modules and cards with a low minimum resistance do not have as wide a range of resistance values as those with higher minimum resistances.

● AccuracyHigh accuracy requires careful design to ensure low loss paths, management of thermoelectric EMF and the use of higher stability resistors

● Calibration PortA calibration port allows the user to check the resistor channel without having to disconnect the front panel connector. It can be used to connect any of the resistor channels to a DMM to perform an accurate four terminal measurement.

● Custom Programmable ResistorsIf the desired accuracy, precision, range, number of channel, power handling, etc is not available then please contact your local sales office to discuss your application. We are often able to configure custom builds or even design a new version of a PXI/PCI model.

Our entire range of resistor modules and cards use real resistors, they do not use current loads or other electronic means to control the resistance value. Therefore they behave in exactly the same way as a real resistor.

Pickering Interfaces' Programmable Resistor Module Range

The following summarizes our programmable resistor range to help you chose the best model for your application:

40-251/252/253 (PXI) 2.5W, 5W & 10W Programmable ResistorsWith power handling of 2.5W, 5W and 10W, these modules provide a range of programmable resistors suitable for applications requiring greater power than our standard ranges. Control is by resistance calls, the closest setting to the required value is calculated from calibration data stored on-board.

40-260 (PXI) Precision Programmable ResistorHigh performance three channel resistor module designed for wide resistance range with very fine setting resolution. Software control is easy as it uses resistance calls in Ohms rather than bit patterns. It includes a calibration port on a separate connector.

40-290/291 (PXI) Programmable ResistorProvides two or four channels of variable resistance based on binary chains of resistors switched by reed relays. It is controlled using relay bit patterns to set the resistance values. It is ideal for lower density general purpose applications.

40-261 (PXI) Precision Programmable ResistorThis two channel module is similar to 40-260 but has a much lower bottom end resistance value. The design is optimized for high performance applications requiring low as well as high resistance settings. It uses a resistance call to set its value and has a separate calibration port.

40-293 (PXI) & 50-293 (PCI) Programmable Resistor & RelayOffers a lower cost alternative with lower accuracy than the 40-297/50-297. In addition to offering two or four resistor channels the design includes the option of 8xSPDT relays which can be used for general purpose switching applications or for inserting additional components into the resistor chains.

40-262 (PXI) & 50-262 (PCI) RTD SimulatorProvides a narrow resistance range, high channel count and very high performance levels. Intended for PT100 and PT1000 RTD simulation, they provide a simulated range of -25°C to +410°C. Through use of resistance calls, values can easily be adapted by the user into temperature settings corresponding to the required RTD device. The 40-262 and 50-262 both have separate calibration ports.

40-294 (PXI) & 50-294 (PCI) Programmable Resistor & RelaySimilar architecture to the 40-293/50-293 but using Pickering reed relays giving fast operation time and long service Life. In addition to offering two or four resistor channels the design includes the option of 8xSPST relays which can be used for general purpose switching applications or for inserting additional components into the resistor chains.

40-263 (PXI) RTD SimulatorDesigned for the simulation of PT100, PT500 and PT1000 RTDs, the 40-263 provides a simulation range of -150°C to +850°C. Through use of resistance calls, values can easily be adapted by the user into temperature settings. The module is available with between 4 and 24 channels and has a separate calibration port.

40-295 (PXI) & 50-295A (PCI) Programmable ResistorSuited to applications were speed of operation is more critical than accuracy, they use relay patterns for control and are ideal for real time applications. They are based on reed relays that have higher thermo-electric EMF values than electro-mechanical relays, and a higher contact resistance which leads to a higher residual path resistance.

40-265 (PXI) & 50-265 (PCI) Strain Gauge SimulatorDesigned specifically for strain gauge simulation, the 40-265 and 50-265 include a resistance bridge circuit and excitation system. Available with Bridge Impedances of 350Ω, 1kΩ, 1.5kΩ, 2kΩ and 3kΩ, the resistance control range is very small and has very fine resolution, allowing the emulation of small strain levels. They also have separate calibration ports.

40-296 (PXI) & 50-296A (PCI) Programmable PotentiometerBased on the same architecture as the 40-295 and 50-295A, the 40-296 and 50-296A have adjacent channels internally linked to provide the user with emulation of a potentiometer.

40-297 (PXI) & 50-297 (PCI) High Density Precision ResistorFor applications where accuracy is important as well as high channel count. Control is by resistance calls and the closest setting to the required value is calculated from calibration data stored on-board. All versions have excellent accuracy and temperature stability. The 40-297 & 50-297 are based on electro-mechanical relays.

40-292 (PXI) Load ResistorBased on solid state switching, this programmable resistor provides an adjustable load with up to 15W power handling. Offset resistors are included and the module can also be set for open or short circuit.

40-298 (PXI) & 50-298 (PCI) High Density Precision ResistorThis range of precision resistor modules has the same channel counts and resistance ranges as the 40-297 & 50-297 modules, but are based on Pickering reed relays for fast operating times and long service life.

40-280 (PXI) Selectable ResistorProvides an array of switched fixed value resistors. Each resistor can be set in-circuit, open circuit, or short circuit. This module is a good choice for simple applications where a few fixed values are required rather than a variable resistor. The resistors can either be fitted by the user or we can load the values required.

Custom PXI & PCI Programmable ResistorsWhen our extensive range of programmable resistor modules and cards do not meet the exact requirements for your application, we offer custom builds created to meet your needs. Customization can include the addition of an offset resistor, different resolutions and different resistance ranges. Contact your local sales office with your requirements for more information.
