KineticSystems' CP199 was designed for industrial and portable ATE environments requiring very durable construction and minimal weight. Advanced laminate welded construction combines lightweight materials to provide an extremely rigid structure as well as optimize for shock resilience. The low profile 4U system includes removable rack flanges and integral rear shock pin receivers to provide secure mounting within a transit case or 19" rack.

The dual stack, 14-slot, PXI backplane and associated controller and star-trigger slots, supports both 3U and 6U modules. The hard-mounted rear bridge provides seamless integration between PXI segments and includes confi gurable trigger buffers and automatic V I/O detection. A front accessible switch allows the user to select between backplane or system clock source. Careful attention has been given to clock and star-trigger routing between all 14 slots to ensure the highest possible performance. Powering the CP199 is a rear plugging 800W power module that supports wide range AC input. The power supply provides very high current capacity and includes an isolated fan output to further reduce electrical noise at the backplane. An integral power and cooling monitor with RS-485 interface monitors all PXI output voltages, inlet and exhaust air temperature and fan speed. The fully plugging module provides MTTR of <1 minute.

The ducted cooling system provides high volume and pressure performance. This makes CP199 well suited for use with high wattage and/or highly restrictive modules where airflow often becomes a critical challenge. Rear intake and left side exhaust minimize the number of airflow turns for greater flow efficiency. The rear plugging fan panel also allows easy access for service or maintenance.
