    Unused slots in the PXI/LXI chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

    FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Functional block diagrams for the 40-850 and 40-852 are provided in Figures 2.1 and 2.2. The Fiber Optic Multiplexer Module is powered by a +5V input via Compact PCI connector J1. The module comprises a Fiber Optic multiplexer (4:1 for the 40-850 and 8:1 for the 40-852) which connects an optical channel by redirecting the optical signal received at the common input into a selected output fibre.

  • Page 17: Installation

    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/LXI chassis. The module is designed for indoor use only. PREOPERATION CHECKS (UNPACKING) 1. Check the module for transport damage and report any damage immediately to Pickering Interfaces. Do not attempt to install the product if any damage is evident.

  • Page 18: Hardware Installation

    For a system comprising more than one chassis, turn ON the last chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc, and finally turn ON the external controller or chassis containing the system controller. 9. For Pickering Interfaces modular LXI installation there is no requirement to use any particular power up sequence.

  • Page 22: Module Architecture

    MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40-850/852 modules utilise opical MEMS relays. In the default state Channel 1 is selected. Energising the appropriate MEMS switch creates a signal path between the Common and another Channel terminal. The module’s switching architectures are shown in their default state in the diagrams below:...

  • Page 29: Maintenance Information

    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.
