RS/16 Mainframe
RSM/8x8 Mainframe
The RS Series of computer controlled switching systems are designed to switch multiwire groups
of signals of up to 25 wires. These systems are typically used for signals such as parallel TTL,
RS232, RS422, WAN or Modems, but they can also be used for any group of analog or digital
signals having a bandpass up to 30 MHz or data rate up to 20 Mbps. A modular design concept is
used that provides configuration flexibility by allowing display modules, different control mod-
ules and switch modules to be assembled in one chassis.
LED displays and switch point Status Feedback are available on most systems. Computer con-
trol via IEEE488 (GPIB) and RS232 is standard, while TCP/IP Ethernet LAN, USB and manual
controls are optionally available.
There are three basic Series: (1) RS, (2) RSS and (3) RSM.
The RS Series are passive, bidirectional relay-based Multiplexers, connecting one of up to 16 multiwire
signal groups to a single signal common. Nine, fifteen or twenty-five wires are switched simultaneously.
The RSS Series are solid state, nonblocking, full fan-out matrices for single wire or differential pair
signals. Any input can be connected to one, several or all outputs.
The RSM Series are bidirectional, non blocking relay matrices. A modular design allows the configuration
of matrices from 1x8 or 2x4 up to 16x8 or 32x4. Nine, fifteen or twenty-five wires are switched together.

These pre-wired chassis hold RS Switch Modules built with
D9, D15 or D25 style connectors and switch 9, 15 or 25 wires.
RS/16 Mainframe accepts up to 16 of the RS Modules as a
16x1 Multiplexer.
RS/16-E Expansion Chassis may be used with a MESA con-
troller to build multiple chassis multiplexers up to 256x1, de-
pending on bandpass restrictions.
