  • Page 15: Technical Description

    The module comprises a mother board and a daughter board populated with 1-pole electro-mechanical relays configured as an 84x4 (40-575), a 64x6 (40-576), a 50x8 (40-577), a 36x12 (40-578) or a 28x16 (40-579) matrix. The relays are energised via control signals from relay drivers U5 to U20. Each relay driver is loaded with serial data from PCI bridge U1 to operate the required matrix crosspoint.The main PCI interface circuitry and the drivers and...

  • 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: Programming The Uhd Matrix

    PROGRAMMING THE UHD MATRIX The 40-575 is a single pole switching matrix with 84 connections on the X-axis and 4 connections on the Y-axis. Connections are made by operating the relays at the crosspoints between X and Y lines allowing single X-Y connections, or X-X connections using a Y line as a path.

    Once the drivers are installed the manual “Sys40Prg.pdf” and driver help files which fully describes these functions can be found in the Pickering folder(s) or the Pickering entries on your Start Menu. The card must be opened before use and closed after using the following function calls: Direct Driver - Open with PIL_OpenCards or PIL_OpenSpecifiedCard and close with PIL_CloseCards or PIL_CloseSpecifiedCards respectively.

  • Page 33: 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.

  • Page 34: Relay Fault Finding

    RELAY FAULT FINDING In the event of a switch failure in a module in the 40-575 range the following procedure will help locate which relays need replacing. The module uses through-hole relays that are straight forward to replace providing normal good practice is followed to avoid PCB damage.
