  • Page 26: Module Architecture

    The 40-567A is a high density 1-pole switching matrix constructed from 44x8 sub-matrix cards linked with an analog backplane. The 40-567A module can be fitted with 1 or 2 sub-matrix cards (BRIC2), between 1 and 4 sub-matrix cards (BRIC4) or between 1 and 8 sub-matrix cards (BRIC8). Connections are made by operating the relays at the crosspoints between X and Y lines.

  • Page 27: Programming The Module

    PROGRAMMING THE MODULE For all configurations of the 40-567A, the entire matrix is treated as a single programming sub-unit designated as Sub-Unit 1. Operating an X/Y crosspoint creates a signal path through the matrix. At the same time the corresponding isolation switch is automatically operated routing the Y signal to the backplane.

    For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading.

  • Page 38: Relay Fault Finding

    X to X connections are made using the Y bus as a path The signal routing method used for the 40-567A is to connect one X port to another X port, so a failed path uses two crosspoints on one Y line. Therefore it is important to know which Y line was used in a failed path. Test to see which crosspoint has failed by routing the path to a different X connection.

    CARD REMOVAL FROM BRIC The following procedure should be followed for the extraction of a matrix relay card from the 40-567A BRIC module. The card extraction handle supplied with the module is required for this process as shown in Figure 7.10. It should be noted that individual matrix cards can be removed from the BRIC sub-chassis without removing the entire BRIC from the host chassis.
