The 65-231 is a modular multiplexer platform that provides a
high voltage switching solution with capability up to 9 kV.
Multiplexers are created by populating a 65-200 chassis
with multiplexer plug-in modules that provide access to
the Channel and Common signals on 51-pin front panel
connectors. Users can specify as many or as few plug-in
modules as they require and can field upgrade the chassis
to extend the multiplexer. Larger multiplexers are formed by
utilising the plug-in module’s second common connection.
This allows the multiplexer’s common to be connected
between plug-ins expanding the overall multiplexer size.
A hardware interlock connector is provided on the front
panel that prevents relay operation if a suitably wired mating
connector is not fitted. This can, for example, be used to
disable relay operation if the test system cabinet door is
open.
The chassis supports up to 6 plug-in modules which are
loaded into the chassis via the front panel, greatly improving
flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Cooling for the 65-200 chassis is provided by rear fans and
front air intakes ensuring no wasted space when the chassis
is rack mounted. The cooling system is adaptive, ensuring
the acoustic noise is minimised when used in quiet laboratory
environments and low load conditions.
Switch Path Manager (SPM) Signal Routing Software
The 65-231 comprises multiple separate smaller elements that
can be combined to form the multiplexer. To aid with the user
experience the Pickering Switch Path Manager application
can be used. This simplifies signal routing through switching
systems and speeds up the development of switching system
software. See page 8 of this datasheet for more information.
