ATE Core Configurations are customizable test racks designed and built by NI to streamline the design, procurement, assembly, and deployment of rack-based automated test systems. These configurable systems reduce integration and downtime through standardized mechanical, power, and safety system infrastructure.
Customize your systems with configurable control interface from I/O, EMO placements, power inputs, and more. With custom options, various power configurations, and standard safety certifications, you can meet your test system requirements across different sites.
ATE Core Configurations incorporate power distribution directly into the rack’s side space, supporting AC/DC power, 3-phase distribution, and up to 36 kW of power. With power pre-integrated, you can reduce integration and design time.
With the Rack Control Unit, you can ensure your test systems are operating reliably and efficiently while avoiding costly downtime. Monitor system state and health, monitor component temperatures, control startup and shutdown sequence, control and monitor fan speed, and more to ensure the performance of your test system.
ATE Core Configurations are available in three sizes; a 15U is designed for DUT on top configurations and a 38U and 44U to maximize floor space. With power and other common components integrated in the side space, utilize the full U-space of the rack for instrumentation.
These systems are designed with serviceability in mind, featuring swing-out panels on the rack’s side for easy access to instrumentation so you can perform maintenance and reduce downtime. Designed and built by NI, you can rely on a single vendor for all components from rack to instrumentation.
ATE Core Configurations can hold any hardware in a 19" rack, including the following types:
PXI high-performance modular instruments offer specialized synchronization and software features for test and measurement applications.
CompactRIO provides high-performance processing, sensor-specific conditioned I/O, and an integrated software toolchain for monitoring and control applications.
Switch, load, and signal conditioning (SLSC) hardware standardizes connectivity and offers a modular approach to signal conditioning, fault insertion, and other test needs.
Your hardware purchase includes the following services:
NI offers additional hardware services as part of expanded service programs that can improve uptime and lower maintenance costs.
