CAMBOARD Electronics
in mission-critical applications, using a combination of self-diagnosis, hot-
swappable components, and optional redundant components.
Advanced computer-aided diagnostics — The Matrix 12800 performs self
diagnostics, 24 hours a day, of the I/O boards, primary and redundant power
supply voltages, controller boards, cooling status, and the overall functional
status of the matrix. The status can be monitored off-site for unmanned
applications via the Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 communications ports.
Dual redundant, hot swappable controller boards — The primary and
redundant controller boards are internally mounted. The primary and
redundant controller boards can each initiate configuration changes or other
matrix switcher operations. Each board has an RS-232/RS-422 port for
connection of a PC or control system. Redundant controllers mean zero
downtime for the system. There will be no loss of functionality should one of
the controller boards fail. A failed controller board is easily replaceable
through the front door with no tools required. Hot swappable controllers
allow the user to replace either at any time — without powering down the
matrix.
Dual redundant, hot swappable power supplies — The internally mounted
primary and redundant power supplies are configured to automatically
switch over from a primary supply to a hot redundant supply in the case of a
failure.
The complete power circuit, from the plug, through the power supplies, to
the power's insertion onto the power distribution plane, is separate and
redundant (figure 1-3). If the installation includes uninterruptible or
completely separate power sources, the switcher will remain powered up
through any power interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power on
both power sources.

The ready hot redundant power supplies means zero downtime for the
system and no loss of functionality should one of the primary supplies fail.
Should a primary power supply fail, the redundant power supply
immediately assumes the load of the failed primary supply. A failed power
supply is easily replaceable through the front door at any time — without
powering down the matrix, and with no tools required.
