R&S®TS-PXB2 Backplane Extension Module

The R&S^®TS-PIO3B digital I/O module for standard functions such as the routing of RF relays or relays for power supply can be reliably operated via the system's internal CAN bus also in the area of slots A1 and A2. A backplane extension module is provided for this purpose. This leaves PXI slots free, preferably for the use of high-performance measurement modules.

The R&S^®TS-PXB2 is a backplane extension module for slots A1 and A2. These two slots to the left of the standard plug-in power supply were previously reserved for an additional power supply.

The R&S^®TS-PXB2 option now makes two additional CAN bus slots available. The digital I/O standard functionality and the coil driver can thus be implemented in a uniform manner and cost-effectively with dedicated R&S^®TS-PIO3B digital I/O modules. As a result, PXI slots can be kept free to preferably equip them with measurement modules.

The R&S^®TS-PXB2 option expands the R&S^®CompactTSVP test system versatile platform by two CAN-bus-controlled slots at A1 and A2. It can be integrated ex works only. The two slots are intended for the deployment of the R&S®TS-PIO3B or R&S^®TS-PTR modules.

The R&S^®TS-PXB2 option cannot be used together with the R&S^®TS-PCPA power supply extension.

The following applications are additionally made possible with the R&S^®TS-PXB2 module:

• Expansion by two CAN bus slots without linkup to the analog bus
• Breakout of the CAN bus to the rear panel
• Breakout for the 24 digital I/O channels each of slots A1 and A2 on the rear panel
• Use in the R&S^®CompactTSVP and R&S^®PowerTSVP
