The National Instruments PXI-1011 Chassis, identified by part number 777965-01, is engineered to support robust industrial applications with its versatile subsystem configuration. This chassis comprises a 4-slot PXI subsystem and an 8-slot SCXI subsystem, compliant with PXI Specification Revision 2.0, designed to facilitate precise clock and time synchronization for high-accuracy measurements. The SCXI subsystem is particularly tailored for signal conditioning, ensuring reliable data acquisition from a range of sensors and transducers.

The PXI-1011 features an integrated cooling system that employs forced air circulation with positive pressurization, utilizing dual fans to effectively manage the thermal characteristics of installed modules, even under heavy-duty operation. It accommodates an input voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC and operates at 3-phase power with a frequency between 47 and 440 Hz, ensuring compatibility with global power systems. The chassis is equipped with overvoltage and overcurrent protection, enhancing its safety profile during operation.

Designed to withstand operational shocks and vibrations per MIL-T-28800E Class 3 standards, the PXI-1011 is suitable for environments with temperatures from 0°C to 50°C and can be stored at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 70°C. It is engineered for indoor use with a pollution degree rating of 2, allowing for versatility in various operational settings. However, the chassis does not possess an ingress protection rating, necessitating operation in environments free from dust and moisture to ensure optimal performance. For installation and maintenance, users should refer to the guidelines provided by National Instruments. The chassis is intended for optimal performance when mounted at altitudes up to 2000 meters above sea level.

With a maximum usable power of 140 watts for the PXI subsystem, the PXI-1011 chassis dimensions are 44.7 cm x 43.9 cm x 17.7 cm (17.6 in x 17.3 in x 7 in) and it has a weight of 9 kg (20 lb). This chassis is an essential component for anyone looking to build a reliable and efficient measurement and control system.
