The DX256X256 Series are 19" rack mounting units and arebuilt as either Mainframe or Expansion Chassis. The SolidState Digital Matrix is modular, capable of being expandedfrom a 64x64 to a 256x256 by adding the desired numberof input and output modules. The configurations occur in64 channel increments so typical configurations will be64x448, 128x384, 256x256, etc. Other possible configurationssuch as dual 128x128 clock and data matrices or multichassis clock and data systems.DX256X256 CHASSISDX256x256 Mainframe Rear View ( Standard 422 Matrix )CUSTOM CHASSISCustom configurations are available with options susch asredundant control modules, redundant power supplies orcustom interface panels.MANUAL CONTROLMC-2 WITH LCD DISPLAYCONTROL MODULESDX256X256 MAINFRAMEThe Standard Mainframes are built with power supplies, user specified Control Module and optionally Keypad LCDDisplay Manual Control. The system is completely modularby adding the desired number of DX64 Input and OutputSwitch Modules defined on pages 2 and 3 of the bulletin.The expansion chassis is identical to the mainframe in sizeand function. The expansion chassis, however, uses a separtecontrol chassis that allows multiple chassis to be driven inunison. This allows you to build even bigger configurationssuch as 512x512 Clock and Data systems if needed.DX256x256-E EXPANSION CHASSISIF-11 LANIEEE488RS232 CONTROL MODULEThis module provides the following remote control ports:10100BaseT Ethernet LAN with 2 ports plus telnet.RS232 Serial or USB Adaptor.IEEE488 TalkListen interface (GPIB).This local control supplies a front panel Keypad and LCDDisplay that lets the operator control any switch and verifyswitch status.
