The IRS Switching Platform is a standardized solution for signal and load switching. IRS Switching Platform closes standardization gap in automated test environments.
A standardized solution for signal and load switching
| Automated test system | DUT Supply | Control & Measure | Load Simulation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical solution | remote controlled Power Supplies | remote controlled devices or PXI, VXI, .. | specific built hardware, switched via dig. I/O |
| Standardization | HIGH | HIGH | LOW -> HIGH with IRS Switching Platform |
A modular standard solution for switching in test systems
The Switching Platform consists of three standardized parts:
| Topology | Features |
|---|---|
| Mainframe | TCP/IP communication; 4 or 12 slot Backplane; 4x2 ch. Sense Bus |
| Modules | Load Channels (2.. 70A); Matrix 2A (16x4 or 32x6); Custom Card Design |
| Cabling | Standardized Pin Layout; Optimized cable lengths; Modular Fixture Interface |
Advantage for test system design:
- effective system planning and ordering process through known components
- easy wiring planning and documentation -> early start of ITA production
- space for load placement available on most SP-Modules, saving 19‘‘-cabinet space for load racks
- future-proof due to modular components -> easy changes, upgrades and extensions
