NI PXI-2520 Specifications

80-Channel SPST Relay Module
This document lists specifications for the NI PXI-2520 general-purpose relay module. All specifications are subject to change without notice. Visit ni.com/manuals for the most current specifications.

Caution The protection provided by the NI PXI-2520 can be impaired if it is used in a manner not described in this document.

Topology………………………………………………….. 80-channel SPST, non-latching
Refer to the NI Switches Help for detailed topology information.

About These Specifications

• Specifications characterize the warranted performance of the instrument under the stated operating conditions.
• Typical Specifications are specifications met by the majority of the instrument under the stated operating conditions and are tested at 23 °C ambient temperature. Typical specifications are not warranted
• All voltages are specified in DC, ACpk, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document for important safety and electromagnetic compatibility information. To obtain a copy of this document online, visit ni.com/manuals, and search for the document title.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with shielded cables and accessories.

Input Characteristics

• Maximum switching voltage
• Channel-to-channel…………………………….. 150 V
• Channel-to-ground……………………………… 150 V, CAT I

Caution This module is rated for Measurement Category I and intended to carry signal voltages no greater than 150 V. This module can withstand up to 800 V impulse voltage. Do not use this module for connection to signals or for measurements within Categories II, III, or IV. Do not connect to MAINS supply circuits (for example, wall outlets) of 115 or 230 VAC. Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document for more information on measurement categories.
Caution When hazardous voltages (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC) are present on any relay terminal, safety low-voltage (≤42.4 Vpk/60 VDC) cannot be connected to any other relay terminal.
Caution The switching power is limited by the maximum switching current, and the maximum voltage, and must not exceed 60 W, 62.5 VA.

• Maximum switching power (per channel) ……..60 W, 62.5 VA (DC to 60 Hz)
• Maximum current
• (switching or carry, per channel) ………………….2 A
• Simultaneous channels at maximum
• current (≤43 °C) …………………………………………30
• Minimum switching conditions ……………………20 mV/1 mA

Note Switching inductive loads (for example, motors and solenoids) can produce high-voltage transients in excess of the module’s rated voltage. Without additional protection, these transients can interfere with module operation and impact relay life. For more information about transient suppression, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code relayflyback.

DC path resistance

• Initial …………………………………………………<0.5 Ω
• End-of-life…………………………………………. ≥1.0 Ω

DC path resistance typically remains low for the life of the relay. At the end of relay life, the path resistance rises rapidly above 1 Ω. Load ratings apply to relays used within the specification before the end of relay life.

• Thermal EMF (typical at 23 °C) …………………..12 μV
• Bandwidth (-3 dB, typical at 23 °C)
• 50 Ω termination ……………………………………….. ≤35 MHz
• Crosstalk (typical at 23 °C, 50 Ω termination)
• Channel-to-channel
• 10 kHz……………………………………….. ≤-80 dB
• 100 kHz……………………………………… ≤-60 dB
• Isolation (typical at 23 °C, 50 Ω termination)
• Open channel
• 10 kHz……………………………………….. ≥80 dB
• 100 kHz……………………………………… ≥60 dB

Module Load Derating at >43 °C

Load derating is dependent on the ambient temperature and the sum of the current squared of each channel simultaneously carrying a signal. The result must fall within the shaded region of Figure 1. The following examples represent this calculation.Example 1

• 30 channels carry 1.7 A while
• 10 channels carry 1.5 A
• (30 × 1.72) + (10 × 1.52) = 109.2 A2 ×channels

The module in Example 1 can be used at ambient temperatures between 0 °C and 47 °C. Example 2

• 25 channels carry 1.55 A while
• 5 channels carry 2.0 A
• (25 × 1.552) + (5 × 2.02) = 80.06 A2 × channels

The module in Example 2 can be used at ambient temperatures between 0 °C and 55 °C.

Dynamic Characteristics

• Relay operate time
• Typical ……………………………………………… 1 ms
• Maximum………………………………………….. 3.4 ms
• Simultaneous drive limit…………………………….. 40 relays

Note Certain applications may require additional time for proper settling. For information about including additional settling time, refer to the NI Switches Help.

• Expected relay life
• Mechanical…………………………………………1 × 108 cycles
• Electrical (resistive)
• 30 V, 1 A …………………………………….5 × 105 cycles
• 30 V, 2 A …………………………………….1 × 105 cycles

Note The relays used in the NI PXI-2520 are field replaceable. Refer to the NI Switches Help for information about replacing a failed relay.
