Schematic Diagram.
The 60-553 has up
to eight 128x4 sub-
matrices linked by
two analog buses.
Isolation/selection
switches connect
the Y-bus of a sub-
matrix to Bus A,
Bus B or isolated it
from the other sub-
matrices.
Built-In Relay Self-Test -
BIRST
The BIRST facility provides a quick and easy way of nding
relay failures. No test equipment is required, simply un-plug the
connectors, launch the BIRST application and the tool will run a
diagnostic test that will nd all relays with faulty contacts.

Supported by
eBIRST
This matrix is also supported by eBIRST. These tools simplify
switching system fault-nding by quickly testing the system and
graphically identifying the faulty relay.

The 60-553 is a high density single pole 1024x4 matrix suitable
for signal routing in large ATE systems. It is easily expanded to
produce larger sizes, for example, two units can be linked to create
a 2048x4 matrix.
The matrix is constructed from 128x4 sub assemblies and can be
supplied in sizes from 256 to 1024 X connections in increments of
128. Up to 1027 simultaneously closed crosspoints are permitted,
making it suitable for cable/backplane continuity and isolation
testing.
Dual Analog Bus
The Y axis of each 128x4 sub-matrix can be connected to one
of two analog buses (Dual Analog Bus). These can be used to
maximize bandwidth by disconnecting unused stub matrices from
the bus in use. They also provide conguration exibility by giving
the potential to divide the 60-553 into two independent matrices
whose size can be set in increments of 128 X connections.
The 60-553 is designed in accordance with the LXI Standard 1.4
and is supplied in a 1U high, full rack width case with 500mm
depth. It is programmable via the LAN interface using Pickering’s
generic switch driver. Standard (W3C) web browsers can be used
to change conguration information and access soft front panels.
The 60-553 is ideal for applications where a simple start-up is
required and for applications requiring control over large distances.
