Industrial Controls Engineering Department What is PXI ? First CERN PXI Users Group meeting - 19 th October H. Reymond - EN/ICE

Industrial Controls Engineering Department What is PXI ? 4  PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI)  It combines the high-speed PCI bus with the modular mechanical packaging of CompactPCI  Is a rugged PC-based platform that offers:  high-performance  Low cost deployment solution  Dedicated to measurement, control & automation systems  PXI is an open industry specification launched in 1997 by National Instruments => Any vendor is able to build PXI products

Industrial Controls Engineering Department An open industry specification 5

Industrial Controls Engineering Department A standard supported by worldwide companies 6  Today PXI is governed by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA)  PXISA is devoted to:  Promote the standard  Ensure the interoperability  Maintain the PXI specification  This alliance groups more than 70 companies 
