PXI & CompactPCI Compliance
The module is compliant with the PXI Specication 2.2. Local Bus,
Trigger Bus and Star Trigger are not implemented.
Uses a 33MHz 32-bit backplane interface.
Safety & CE Compliance
All modules are fully CE compliant and meet applicable EU
directives: Low-voltage safety EN61010-1:2010, EMC Immunity
EN61326-1:2013, Emissions EN55011:2009+A1:2010.
Mechanical Characteristics
Single slot 3U PXI (CompactPCI card).
Note: Isolated COM versions are not tted with a PXI handle.
3D models for all versions in a variety of popular le formats are
available on request.
Relay Type
The 40-651 is tted with electro-mechanical power relays with gold
clad silver alloy contacts. A spare relay is included with the module
to allow easy maintenance with minimum down time.

Connectors
PXI bus via 32-bit P1/J1 backplane connector.
Signals via front panel 50-pin male D-type connector.
For isolated COM versions, the common connections are via
a 9-pin male D-type connector. For pin outs please refer to the
operating manual.
