Debuting at productronica, the leading trade fair for the electronics manufacturing industry, the new module offers the world’s first future-ready PCIe Gen 4 capability in a single-slot PXIe embedded controller.
The PXI-5 PXI Express Hardware Spec. Rev.2.0-compliant controller is powered by an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor, combined with 32 GB DDR4 memory and a 1TB m.2 NVMe SSD. It easily supports high bandwidth applications with advanced PCIe Gen 4 and dual 2500BASE-T system interconnectivity. Maximum system throughput is 14 GB/s, using either a 4-link or 2-link configuration.
“Our new controller is the most compact and powerful 3U one-slot embedded controller available for the PXI Express and CompactPCI Express platforms, combining performance and affordability,” said Lee Huckle, Chassis Product Manager at Pickering Interfaces. “With its high-performance specification and future-proof interface capabilities, it is designed to handle the most demanding test and measurement applications.”
This single-slot controller is ideal for Pickering’s family of PXIe chassis, including their new 42-927-101 21-slot fully hybrid PXIe chassis, also being launched at productronica 2023. Pickering also offers a turnkey Factory Configuration Service to streamline set-up, including Windows license and driver installations and optional installation of Pickering’s PXI or PXIe switch and simulation modules.
