Software installation 

AL-1020U Chassis Configuration 

The AL-1020U chassis can be configured through a web-interface. The web-interface can be 
used to configure settings such as: 

 

Network settings (IP-address, Subnet, Gateway, DNS) 

 

Device name 

 
Since the chassis is based on the National Instruments SLSC-12001 Chassis, the interface is 
reached by entering its IP-address (default: 192.168.1.149) into a Microsoft Silverlight compliant 
web-browser. Please note that this currently excludes third party browsers such as Google 
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari etc. 

Recommended browser is Internet Explorer.  

 

Python Library 

Contents 

The chassis communicate over ethernet utilizing the supplied ALIARO Python driver library API. 
The library contains the following components: 

 

pws_chassi.py   - Driver for the AL-1020U 
 

Driver Installation  

When the chassis is to be used, Aliaro drivers must be installed. The Power Switch Chassis 
Python library is available at Aliaro.se/download.   

 

Download, move and unzip the drivers to your current Python program directory 
(or use other absolute path import methods) 
 

 

Import the drivers to the application by using the import command in Python:  

import pws_chassi 

 

Methods definition / API 

The Python driver is called by a user application that uses instances of respective module to call 
methods and manipulate the connected channels E.g. : 

 

Switching channels on the Power Switch Board on/off   

 

Connect/disconnect ECUs from the CAN-bus on the Bus Switch Board.
