PXI Fault Insertion (Fault Injection) Modules
PXI Fault Insertion Units (FIU), also known as Fault Injection switch products, are designed specifically for safety-critical applications where the response of a control system is required to be evaluated when sensor connections behave in unexpected ways. These modules are scalable solutions that can be used to switch signals between simulations and real-life devices in a multitude of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and test systems. The fault insertion unit can significantly simplify and accelerate the testing, diagnosis and integration work in HIL applications.

Modular Breakout System for Hardware-In-Loop Simulation
Designed in partnership with OPAL-RT Technologies, this Modular Breakout System combines a BoB feature set with the added flexibility of an FIU. By mating the FIU chassis directly to the BoB using our plug-in modules, cabling is minimized, creating a more compact reliable design and improving signal integrity.

PXI Differential Fault Insertion Switch Modules
Pickering's PXI Differential Fault Insertion Switch Modules support multiple channels of two-wire serial interfaces. Each channel can simulate an open fault in either or both wires, a short between both wires or a short to externally applied fault conditions. *Two module types are available: Two wire fault insertion module suitable for CAN Bus and FlexRay.*High bandwidth two wire fault insertion module suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, AFDX and BroadR-Reach.

PXI Fault Insertion Insertion Switch Modules
Our PXI Fault Insertion Insertion Switch Modules feature a breakout arrangement that allows faults to be attached to the sensor lines, this includes the breaking of a connection or the adding of defect – all of which can simulate connectivity problems in the system.

PXI Fault Insertion Matrix Modules
All of our fault insertion matrices feature a breakout arrangement that allows faults to be attached to the sensor lines via the Y axis. This includes the breaking of a connection or the adding of a series defect – all of which can simulate connectivity problems in the system. The three pin breakout versions allow the connection to be swapped for a “bad” sensor simulation.

Ethernet/AFDX/BroadR-Reach PXI Fault Insertion Switch - 4 Channel
40-201-004
This high bandwidth differential fault insertion module is designed to simulate common faults on high speed two wire communication interfaces such as Ethernet. This module supports 4 or 8-channels of two wire serial connections and can be used for simulating faults on Ethernet, AFDX, BroadR-Reach, 100BaseT and 1000BaseT interfaces. Any wire can be set to an open circuit, shorts can be applied across the wire pair, or to the adjacent pair. Fault connections can be made to one of four external signals via two fault buses, typically simulating connections to a supply voltage or ground. Each fault bus is capable of carrying 2A allowing multiple channels to be connected to the same fault condition. Additionally, each fault bus features a changeover relay to allow the user to connect alternative fault conditions to the fault buses.
