PXIe-1086DC

The PXIe‑1086DC incorporates hot-swappable, redundant DC power supplies as well as hot-swappable, front-accessible, redundant cooling fans. These high-availability features improve the mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) of the PXI system. The PXIe‑1086DC monitors power supply health/voltages, air intake temperature, and fan health/speed; it provides any failure feedback with the status LEDs located on the chassis. This chassis is ideal for test, measurement, and control applications with demanding system uptime requirements.

Part Number(s): 787137-01

Key Applications

1. Mobile and Vehicle-Based Test Systems
PXIe-1086DC is ideal for installation in vehicles, mobile labs, or field-deployed systems powered by DC sources (e.g., batteries or vehicle power). It is widely used in automotive testing, railway systems, and mobile diagnostics.

2. Aerospace and Defense Field Applications
The chassis is suitable for deployed aerospace and defense systems, including radar testing, communication systems validation, and electronic warfare testing, where DC power and ruggedness are essential.

3. Industrial and Harsh Environment Monitoring
PXIe-1086DC is used in industrial sites, outdoor installations, and energy systems where power is supplied via DC and environmental conditions may be challenging (temperature, vibration, etc.).

4. Portable and Remote Data Acquisition
It supports high-channel-count data acquisition in remote or off-grid environments, such as field research, structural monitoring, and energy infrastructure testing.

5. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation in Field Conditions
Engineers use PXIe-1086DC for HIL simulation in real-world environments where systems must be validated under actual operating conditions with DC power sources.

6. Renewable Energy and Power System Testing
The chassis is applicable in renewable energy systems (solar, wind) and power distribution testing, where DC power integration is required.
