How to Use This Manual This User Manual is designed to assist users in the installation of the JYTEK PXI-67921, 24-ch Multiplexer DPDT Relay PXI Switch module. Chapter 1 Introduction Gives an outline and overview of JYTEK switch modules’ features, specifications, and applications.
Introduction JYTEK PXI-67921 is a relay multiplexer module which consists of 24 2-wire relays (DPDT, 2 Form C). PXI-67921 provides 48x1 1-wire and 24x1 2-wire and 12x1 4-wire configurations and typically connects one instrument, such as a DMM, a digitizer or a signal source, with many points which need measurement or excitation.

Users can use the TB-6221 terminal board that consists of a printed circuit with screw terminals. The terminal block connects directly to the front panel I/O connector of the PXI-67921. The TB-6221’s default printed circuit is in 2-wire mode. If other configuration is preferred, user can refer the table on TB-6221 to identify the pin connected.

Operation Theorem 4.1 Hardware Block Diagram The JYTEK PXI Switch Module features an onboard FPGA for relay switching control, trigger control, scanlist storage and sequencing. The PXI triggering and synchronization functions, such as Star Trigger and Trigger Bus are also supported.
If relay contact bouncing is of a concern, users would need to insert software delay. JYTEK recommends the debounce time to be at least 5ms on PXI-67921. Auto-scan The JYTEK PXI switch module features onboard memory to store user specified scanlist of up to 1024-entry.

4.5 Auxiliary Digital I/O The eight auxiliary digital I/O lines on JYTEK Switch Modules provide versatility to users’ control applications. Each digital I/O line can be input, output or tri-stated. When in output mode, users can still read back the actual logic- level on the I/O line.
Note: Microsoft Windows 2000 does not natively support hot-swap however, PXI-67921 can be hot-swapped by manual control via an additional hot- swap driver. For the hot-swap driver on Windows 2000 and other operating systems such as Linux, VxWorks, etc., please contact JYTEK for more information.
Star Trigger In Figure 12: Available trigger sources for emergency shutdown The default relay pattern for emergency shutdown is All-Off on PXI-67921; users can change the pattern by Windows API. Upon receiving the emergency shutdown trigger, the Switch Module enters shutdown mode, and the relay pattern is switched to the preset state.
