Multiple Units - Lynx MiniModules 3000 Series Reference Manual

Reference Manual C DA 3000 Version 2.0

Multiple Units

Most applications will require more than one
MiniModule, which can include any of the
available Series 3000 MiniModule product range.
There are two options for mounting multiple units.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be
secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch
rack mounting. The R PS 3001 power brick
option or the R FR 3010 option is required to
power each module. Please refer to the R FR
3005 Reference Manual for more details.
b) Using the R FR 3010 Rack frame extension
option. Can be combined with the R FR 3005
Rack frame option. Each module plugs into a
connection bus, which provides common
power for all modules. (no R PS external power
supplies are needed). Remote control and
status monitoring of all modules is possible with
the addition of the R CT 5020 rack controller
and R CT 5030 master controller options. Please
refer to the respective reference manuals for
these options for details of mechanical
installation.
The very small size and density of the MiniModules
combined with the available rack frame options
allows the addition of a complex and custom signal
distribution system without taking any additional
front rack space. The rack frames are designed for
installation in the back of 19-inch racks where there
is normally plenty of available space. Ideal for
mobile truck installations and facility expansions
where space is at a premium.
