The 40-582 is a 256 crosspoint PXI matrix with dual pole
switching. The module consists of a 16x16 matrix of 2-pole
electro-mechanical relays with 2A current handling.
The module is designed for switching medium voltage and power
signals, typical applications include signal routing in ATE and data
acquisition systems. The user signal connection is via a robust
78-pin D-type connector that is fully supported by the wide range
of Pickering Interfaces cable and connector accessories.

Built-In-Relay-Self-Test ™
The BIRST facility provides a quick and simple way of finding
relay failures within the module. No supporting test equipment is
required to run a BIRST test, simply disconnect the UUT from the
module’s user connector, launch the supplied BIRST application
software and the tool will run a diagnostic test that will find all
relays with contacts welded closed or with high (open) contact
resistance. It makes it simple for systems integrators to diagnose
the cause of switching failures in a system.
The BIRST tool compliments any self test diagnostic test tools built
into the system since a switch path failure can be caused by switch
or by cabling failures. If a system self test identifies a system failure
and the BIRST indicates there are no relay failures, chances are the
user needs to look for a cabling or programming errors.
If a relay failure is detected by BIRST the user can quickly identify
the failed relay, locate the cause of the failure and replace the
failed device. More information on the use of the BIRST tool is
contained within the module’s operating manual. For general
information see BIRST.
Supported by eBIRST
This product is supported by eBIRST which tests the switching
system using an external tool. eBIRST provides a graphical output
of its tests which includes an image showing the location of any
defective relay. For more information on eBIRST see 93-000D.pdf
