How Can I Find the Right RTI (Rear Transition Interface) and Cable for AL-3011?

Issue Details

I need to find an RTI (Rear Transition Interface) for the rear I/O and cables for the front I/O of the AL-3011.

The AL-3011 specifications mention that there are two front I/O connectors (J1 and J2) and three rear I/O connectors (XJ1, XJ2, and XJ3). However, I cannot find any information about compatible RTIs and cables. Specifically, the AL-3011 specifications (page 10) state that the required RTI must be Level 1 compliant, but I am unsure which RTIs meet this requirement.

Solution

The connection between the ECU, NI SLSC, NI PXI/CompactRIO, and the host interface is described in this document. The RTI connects between the NI SLSC and NI PXI/CompactRIO.

RTI-12302, RTI-12303, RTI-12304, RTI-12305, and RTI-12344 are Level 1 compliant as described in this link. The RTI should be selected based on the bus type of the PXI modules. You can compare the bus type in this link or this link.

More detailed information about the AL-3011 is available in this document. The J1 and J2 front I/O connectors are 44-pin high-density D-SUB, and you can use compatible cables for them.
