PXI-1000 Backplane Overview

Interoperability with CompactPCI

The PXI-1000 backplane is interoperable with PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, as many PXI-compatible systems may not require components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.

The signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements of the CompactPCI specification for both the periph eral and system mo du les.

The PXI-specific signals are located on P2 and are only found on the signals that are reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1000.

Star Trigger Slot

The Star Trigger (ST) slot is located at Slot 2. This slot has a dedicated trigger line between each peripheral slot (see Figure 1-3). This slot is intended for modules with ST functionality that can provide individual triggers to all other peripherals. However, if you do not require advanced trigger functionality, you can instal l any standard peripheral module into this slot.

Peripheral Slots

There are seven peripheral slots including the Star Trigger controller slot.

National Instruments Corporation 1-5 PXI-1000 User Manual

Chapter 1 Getting Started

Local Bus

The PXI backplane’s local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with its adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right, as shown in Figure 1-3.

For example, a given peripheral slot’s right local bus connects to the adjacent slot’ s left local bus and so on. Each local b us is 13 lines wide an d can pass analog signals between cards or provide a high-speed side-band communication path that does not affect the PXI bandwidth.

Local Bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals as high as 42 V. Initialization software keys adjacent boards to prohibit the use of incompatible boards. This software uses the configuration information specific to each peripheral board to evaluate compatibility. This method is a flexible way to define local bus functionality that is not limited by hardware keying.

operations performed on other modules in the system. Modules can pass triggers to one another, allowing precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or controlling.

System Reference Clock

The PXI-1000 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synch r onize multiple modules in a measurement or control system. You can drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source through t he PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connecto r of the Star Trigger Slot. (See Table B-1, P1 (J1) Connector Pinout for the System

Controller Slot, in Appendix B, Pinouts.) Sourcing an external clock on

this pin automatically disables the backplane’s 10 MHz source.

Connecting Safety Ground

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration

Warning

The PXI-1000 cha ssis is desig ned with a three- position NEMA 15-5 style plug th at connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure your electrical power outlet has an appropriate earth safety ground that is connected whenever you power up the chassis.

If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you must connect the premise wire safety ground to the chassis grounding screw located on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the

PXI-1000 Mainframe, for a diagram of the chassis grounding screw. To

connect the safety ground, complete the following steps:

1. Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm) wire to the chassis grounding screw using a toothed grounding lug. The wire must have green insulation with a yellow stripe or must be non-insulated (bare).

2. Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using toothed washers or a toothed lug.

Connecting to AC Mains Power and Testing Power up

Caution

Make sure the main power switch located on the rear panel of the PXI-1000 is in the Off position (0). Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PXI-1000 Mainframe, for a diagram of the main power switch.

Do not install modules prior to performing the first power-on test.

The power supply is uni v ersal, which means the mainframe can con nect to all standard worldwide input voltages. Refer to Chapter 1, Getting Started, for power cord specifications. Attach input power through the rear A C inlet using the appropriat e li ne cor d sup plie d. Refer to Fi gure 1-2, Rear View of

the PXI-1000 Mainframe, for a diagram of the IEC 320 inlet.

Push the main power switch to the On (1) position. Then push the remote power switch to the On position (if not already on). Observe that all fans become operational. Note that the main power switch (rear panel) enables the power module to receive AC power. The remote front panel standby switch allows the power module to provide power to the PXI backplane (if the rear main power switch is on). For this reason, you can leave the main power switch on and use the remote On/Off (Standby) switch on the front to power up and power down the backplane.

You can use the Inhibit signal (active low) to turn off the power supply outputs. To use this feature, connect the Inhibit pin (pin 5) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 1 or 9). Make sure both the rear main power switch and the front (standby) switch are in the ON position. As long as Inhibit is pulled down, the po wer suppl y inhibit s its DC outputs. DC ou tput resu mes when Inhibit is no longer connected to ground. Note that the power (standby) switch, located on the front of th e chassis, uses this inhi biting feature. For remote reset, connect a momentary switch between pin 5 and pin 1 (or pin 9).

Installing PXI Modules

Caution

Turn off the mainframe power before installing CompactPCI or PXI modules.

Install a module into a mainframe slot by first placing the module’s card edges into the front module guides (top and bottom), as shown in Figure 2-2. Slide the module to the rear of the mainframe (making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-3). When you begin to feel resis tance, push up on the inj ector/ejector ha ndle to inject the card into the frame. Secure the module’s front panel to the mainframe using the module’s front-panel mounting screws.

To optimize module cooling performance, install filler panels into unused or empty slots. Secure with the captive mounting screws.

Using the Chassis Initialization File

To assist system integrators, the PXI specification requires manufacturers of PXI chassis and system modules to document the capabilities of their products. The minimum documentation requirements are contained in

.ini files, which consist of ASCII text. The system integrator can read the .ini file, and configuration utilities and device drivers can also use this

file. The PXI-1000 chassis initialization file, the diskette for your PXI-1000.

chassis.ini, is included on

Maintenance

This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXI-1000 mainframe.

Service Interval

Clean the mainframe fan filters at a maximum interval of six months. Depending upon the amoun t of use and ambient dus t levels in the ope rating environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.

Clean dust from the mainframe e xterior (an d interio r) as neede d, based o n the operating environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability.

Preparation

The information in this section is designe d for use by qualified service personnel. Read the For Your Safety section at the beginning of this manual before attempting any procedures in this chapter.

Caution

Many components within the mainframe are susceptible to static discharge damage. Service the mainframe only in a static-free environment. Observe standard handling precautions for static-sensitive devices while ser vicing the mainframe. Always wear a grounded wrist strap, or equivalent, while servicing the mainframe.

Cleaning

Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the mainframe and cleaning the fan filters. Refer to your module user documentation for information on cleaning the individual CompactPCI or PXI modules.

Caution

National Instruments Corporation 3-1 PXI-1000 User Manual

Always pow e r- off the mainframe (usi ng th e ma in power switch on the rear of the mainframe) and disconnect the power cord before cleaning or servicing the mainframe.

Chapter 3 Maintenance

Interior Cleaning

Exterior Cleaning

Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of th e mainframe. Use a soft-bristle brush for cl eaning around comp onents. If you must use a liquid for minor interior cleanin g, use a 75% isopr opyl alcohol s olution and rinse with deionized water.

Clean the exterior surfaces of the mainframe with a dry lin t-free cloth o r a soft-bristle bru sh. If any dirt remain s, wipe with a clot h moistened in a mild soap solution. Remove any soap resid ue by wi pi ng wi th a cloth moistened with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the mainframe.

Cautions

Avoid getting moisture inside the mainframe during exterior cleaning. Use just enough moisture to dampen the cloth.

Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while cleaning the mainframe.

Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the mainframe. Avoid chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.

Cleaning the Fan Filters

You can easily remove the mainframe cooling filters from the rear of the mainframe by removing the plastic housing attached to each fan.

Clean the fan filters by washing them in a mild soap solution and then vacuuming or blowing air through them. Rinse the filters with water and allow them to dry before reinstalling them on the mainframe.

Resetting the AC Mains Circuit Breaker

If your PXI-1000 en count ers an o ver-curr ent con diti on, t he circui t break er located on the rear panel will trip to prevent damage to the mainframe. Complete the following steps to reset the circuit br eaker:

1. Turn the front panel (remote) power switch to the Standby position.

2. Turn off the rear main power switch.

3. Depress the circuit breaker to reset it.

4. Turn on the rear main power switch.

5. Turn the front panel (remote) power switch to the On position.

If the circuit breaker trips again, complete the following steps:

1. Turn the front panel power switch t o the Standby position.

2. Turn off the rear main power switch.

3. Disconnect the mainframe from the AC mains power source.

4. Remove all modules from the mainframe.

5. Complete the test procedure described in the Connecting to AC Ma ins

Power and Testing Power up section in Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.

6. If any voltages are outside the acceptable limits, contact National Instruments.

7. If all voltages are within the acceptable limits, verify that your PXI-1000 can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or PXI modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications.

8. The over-current condition that caused the circuit breaker to trip may be due to a faulty CompactPCI or PXI module. Refer to the documentation that was supplied with the modules for troubleshooting your modules.
