40-592-121-40x8-3P Pickering PXI BRIC8 High Density 8-Slot FIBO Matrix Module

The Pickering 40-592/592A Series PXI BRIC High Density FIBO Matrix Modules and Matrix Daughtercards are large-scale high density switching matrices based on the Pickering BRIC format.

Fault insertion BRICs are designed for applications requiring the simulation of a variety of faults in complex, high pin count, applications involving sensors and control units. Typical faults that can be simulated are open circuits, short-circuits to ground or battery, or short-circuits between input/output lines. Applications are in automotive and aerospace industries which involve safety or mission critical systems that have to behave predictably when cabling or sensor faults occur.

The FIBO Matrix Module is manufactured as either a BRIC4 containing up to 4 daughter cards or a BRIC8 containing up to 8 daughter cards. This allows the X-bus of the matrix to be expanded in multiples of 31 for the 2-pin breakout version or multiples of 20 for the 3-pin breakout version. The programmable matrix designed to aid the simulation of faults. It allows measurement controllers and management systems to be automated, ensuring that the test can be performed quickly and reliably.

The backplane interface of the fault insertion BRIC uses a high speed buffered interface that ensure low latency on the the bus, ideal for operation with real time operating systems.
