    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 24: 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 28: Module Architecture

    MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40-571A is a power multiplexer available with channel counts between 2 and 48, and pole counts between 6 and 48. Connections are made by operating channel relays to make a connection between the common terminals and the corresponding channel terminals - all poles of the selected channel are operated simultaneously. In the following example, the 12-channel, 16-pole version is described, other versions in the module range operate in the same way, but have a different number of programmable bits corresponding to the channel count.

    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.
