    GUIDANCE ON USING THE MODULE The 40-655A multiplexer module is configured to a particular configuration with hard wired links LK1 to LK14 which connect the common signals from each bank to the “Com H”, “Com L” and “1W Loref” terminals. All the links are factory fitted but can be removed if a particular bank is not required.
  • 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 22: Module Architecture

    MODULE ARCHITECTURE In its default configuration, the 40-655A has all seven banks connected together to form a single bank multiplexer with 28-channels of 2-pole switching. Connections are made by operating a channel relay to make a connection between the common terminal and the corresponding channel terminal. When a relay is operated, both poles of the corresponding channel are activated simultaneously.

    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 I/O Driver - Open with PIL_OpenCards or PIL_OpenSpecifiedCard and close with PIL_CloseCards or PIL_CloseSpecifiedCards respectively.
