Page 3: Brief Description
VC Node Mux User’s Guide Brief Description The VC Node Mux is an electrically isolated 16:1 multiplexer. The 16 inputs can be assigned to one of the two outputs through jumpers. Use of EIA-422 interfaces allows distances of up to 1,000 metres to be linked. The system is controlled through a data vector that limits the maximum number to eight VC Node Mux devices in a chain (eight VC Node Mux devices ... -

VC Node Mux User’s Guide Connectors Use is made of two types of connectors. Eight 8-pole male connectors are used on the top and the bottom edges. Twenty-pole trough connectors (J9, J10) are available for single chaining of several multiplexers. - Page 6 VC Node Mux User’s Guide Male Connector No. Signal Name Description Strobe± Control signal inputs Clock± Valid± Data± S1± … S16± J2 , J3 , J6 , J7 Sensor inputs Strobe± Control signal outputs Clock± Valid± Data± J5 ; J6...

DB2 / DA2 Jumpers For the purpose of chaining, all outputs are interconnected. This requires correct positions of the jumpers. The jumpers of all VC Node Mux devices of a chain must be identical. Jumper position for output 1 (DB2/DA2) -
Page 8: Control
VC Node Mux User’s Guide Control The system is controlled by three signals: Data, Strobe, and Clock. The signals are transmitted through an EIA-422 interface. A VC Node MuxIF in conjunction with a VC Node CU can be used as a control unit. This requires equal-name signal lines to be interconnected. -
Page 9: Mixed Operation With Existing Multiplexer Types
VC Node Mux User’s Guide Mixed Operation with Existing Multiplexer Types There are two variants 1. The older variant (V2.x) 2. The more recent variants with 7 segment display (Version 6.x) SONS Online Systems GmbH Page 9 of 11 Schlossstr. 6 - D-99636 Ostramondra... - Page 10 Node MuxIF through the male connector J1. In applications where a VC Node Mux is to be combined with one of the two variants (Type 1 or Type 2) a special flat ribbon cable (2) with two turned pairs of lines need to be used.
