1.2 Precautions against damage to people
Do not work on the product with the
power on.
To avoid electrical discharge, this product must not be handled with
the system powered on and in any case it may not be operated
without protective covers.
1.3 Precautions against damage to the product
Do not insert / unplug cards or other
electronic elements when powered up
The connection/disconnection of the I/O’s when plugged to the
power could produce a sequence of connections that could damage
electronic components which had been previously connected to their
corresponding reference earth.
Do not force the connection tag strips
The connection tag strips are connected exerting a small pressure. If
you encounter difficulty to plug them this may mean that they are
upside down or not aligned. If they are forced, besides the damage
to the strip you can cause damages on the electronics.
Secure the ground connections quality.
All the ground connections must be star-type and with the suitable
section. Loop ground connections are potential receptor antennas
with capacity to generate important current peaks.
Use suitable packing material for
transportation
An electronic module with a lot of fragile components should be
transported with a good protection packaging. A collision can cause
damages that could appear long time after the start up.
Do not install this product near heat
sources, strong vibrations or high
humidity that exceeds the technical
specifications.
Check that the product works without vibrations that exceed the
maximum levels specified, and which could damage its integrity or
cause a contact to become disconnected. The product should work
without humidity and in the temperature range detailed in the
technical specifications.

3.Description and main features
The multiplexer YAV904X8 is designed for the isolated switching of DMM signals. Its four
branches are featuring 8 double relays each. By joining the common pins of each branch, a
32 relays multiplexer can be set.
In the case the system requires high precission measurements, a two branch matrix can be
configured, allowing 4-wire measurements (resistors), voltage measurements by using
guards or bridges excitation while measuring (the case of load cells).
The board is organized in 4 groups of 8 bipolar relays, with double contact acces to each
branch, therefore, we have the possibility to set up different multiplexer configurations,
depending on the connections we make inside the test fixture:

6.Install/Uninstall YAV modules into/from a VPC Receiver
6.1 Receiver connector
6.1.1 YAVs with 96 pin connector
YAV modules are using high reliable professional receiver connectors from VPC (Virginia Panel
Corporation). It is crucial for all modules to be installed properly in the Receiver.
Following pictures are showing the sequence for mounting a YAV module into a VPC receiver.
The modules are coming with Allen screws that will fit into receiver positions. 3/32 Allen Wrench
is needed to screw the module into the receiver. Screw both sides evenly.

7.Getting started with your YAV module
7.1 CAN Interface
To control the YAV module a CAN interface will be needed.
Although other CAN Interfaces can be used under the responsibility of the user, 6TL recom-
mends using any CAN bus High Speed Interface from National Instruments (either USB, PCI
or PXI).
7.2 CAN bus wiring
- We need to supply CAN-H, CAN-L, +24Vdc and GND to X1 connector of the YAV mod-
ule.

7.3 PHI6-EXPLORER
- Install the Software PHI6-EXPLORER to manually control the module. Refer to PHI-6
software manual, our reference 680020Ex.

8.YAV modules overview
The use of YAV modules provides a real technical, economical and logistic advantage against
all other classic instrumentation solutions. YAV modules are the solution for typical practical
problems that occur while designing test platforms. They provide a considerably test system
performance increase. The minimal amount of connections and wiring length reduction main-
tains the best quality and integrity of the signals and provides a short assembly and wiring time.
Being a combination of hardware modules and software drivers, the implementation of the YAV
modules in your test system is very fast. When connected, the modules are immediately
operative. YAV modules make your test system very flexible, re-configurable, easy to expand
and maintain. Each modules can work independently form the tester so you can just plug each
of them directly into the ITA frame of a fixture to start debugging the software without the need
of using the test platform. While the tester is being used to test PCBAs you have the advantage
to debug or build any new configuration in a few minutes.
Can bus control has a big advantage; it provides all the control and power supply signals to
power the YAV modules with just 4 wires. Therefore the modules can be mounted in any part of
the test system or test fixture. The Can bus transmission speed might be lower than the one
available in parallel buses, but it is at least 100 times faster than the speed needed to control all
the available functions in each of our YAV modules.
8.1 YAV modules common information
8.1.1 SW1 DIP switch functionality
The eight switches contained in SW1 are covering the following functionalities:
Set CAN bus speed
Set module address
ON
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
ON=1
OFF=0
8.1.2 CAN bus communication speed.
Switches 1 and 2 set the CAN communication speed:
Select 50Kb/s to communicate with Phi6 and all 6TL modules. All devices communicating
through the CAN network must have the same speed configured in order to communicate
properly.

00 = 50 kB/s
01 = 125 kB/s
10 = 100 kB/s
11 = 250 kB/s
8.1.3 YAV module address
The logic address is composed by 2 elements: the module identification and the hardware
address.
The hardware address is selected by switches 3 to 8 of SW1, being 3 the least significant bit
(LSB). The module identification is contained in the module firmware and cannot be changed.
There is a different identification for each YAV module type. Therefore, modules of different
module identification can have the same hardware address.
Since there are 6 bits there are up to 64 possible addresses (from 0 to 63).
ON

8.2 YAV modules standard addressing & Virginia Panel Receivers
Although the user can set any address for his modules, 6TL defines standard addressing for the
modules that are installed by default in 6TL testing platforms.
The motivation is to ease compatibility between platforms and systems and 6TL strongly
recommends following this standard in order to facilitate platforms setup and maintenance.
The following table shows the standard addressing for the YAV modules and 6TL products
installed in the different slots of the Virginia Panel receivers:
