The 40-592A FIBO (Fault Insertion Break-Out) Matrix Module
is a large-scale high density switching matrix based on the
Pickering BRIC™ format.
Fault insertion BRICs are designed for applications requiring
the simulation of a variety of faults in complex, high pin count,
applications involving sensors and control units. Typical faults
that can be simulated are open-circuits, short-circuits to
ground or battery, or short-circuits between input/output lines.
Applications are in automotive and aerospace industries which
involve safety or mission critical systems that have to behave
predictably when cabling or sensor faults occur.
The FIBO Matrix Module is available as either a BRIC4
containing up to 4 daughter cards or a BRIC8 containing up
to 8 daughter cards. This allows the X-bus of the matrix to be
expanded in multiples of 31 for the 2-pin breakout version or
multiples of 20 for the 3-pin breakout version.
The programmable matrix designed to aid the simulation of
faults. It allows measurement controllers and management
systems to be automated, ensuring that the test can be
performed quickly and reliably.
The fault insertion BRIC uses ruthenium reed relays to ensure
a long and trouble free service life.
The backplane interface of the fault insertion BRIC uses a high
speed buffered interface that ensure low latency on the the
bus, ideal for operation with real time operating systems.
