ANSION CHASSIS
DXM chassis can be built as expansion chassis and used with
Cytec's new MESA II Control Chassis. Expansion chassis allow
large or complex systems to be set up using a single point of
control. Using a Mesa II Controller and one or more expansion
chassis has the following advantages:
Cost Savings
Expansion chassis do not require their own control modules or
manual controls, adding up to cost savings that pay for the MESA
on any system requiring three or more expansion chassis.
Single Point of Control
You can control up to 16 DXM chassis, or combinations of differ-
ent chassis types, from a single MESA II. The MESA allows control
of several chassis from one GPIB address, RS232 Port or LAN IP
address.
Remotely Located Switch Chassis
Expansion chassis can be located up to 125 feet away from the
MESA. Thus switching chassis can be located where needed and
still not require separate controls.
Complex Test Systems
Since any Cytec chassis can be controlled via the MESA, you can
build complicated systems switching a number of different signal
types by using different Cytec products for each signal type.

The MESA II is a 19" rack mounting chassis, 5.25" high and 15"
deep. It accepts one or two of the CM-8 IEEE488/RS232/Ethernet
Control Modules and also has expansion ports that control up to
16 expansion chassis. All three remote interfaces can be in use
at the same time. The MESA II is optimized to control several large
solid state expansion chassis, such as the DXM and DX/256x256
Series.
Redundant, Hot Swappable Controls
The MESA II can hold two of the hot swappable CM-8 IEEE488/
RS232/Ethernet LAN Control Modules. Two control modules pro-
vide for redundancy, increasing system availablitly.

The DXM Series chassis are powered by either standard internal
power supplies or optionally via externally located rack mounting
power supply chassis. Each rack mounting power chassis holds
several plug in, hot swappable power modules, with at least two
redundant modules supplying each required voltage. The sepa-
rate rack mounted power supply chassis increases system
availablity by furnishing supplies that are both redundant and hot
swappable. (See adjacent image)

DXM 16x16 system consisting of one DXM expansion chassis,
one MESA II with redundant controls and a redundant power
supply chassis. SMA connectors are wired out on a separate
Patch Panel.
The DXM series chassis have I/O buffer modules that are built
with high density Densi-shield connectors. These native connec-
tors can be wired out to other common types including SMAs,
BNCs, Triax, etc., located on separate rack mounting patch pan-
els. (See adjacent image for a 16x16 matrix system using patch
panel mounted Triax connectors)

48-23-10 16 channel Triax Patch Panel
Patch Panels allow you to connect and disconnect the switch
quickly without disturbing the SMA, BNC or Triax Connections
greatly reducing MTTR and long term MTBF.
Cytec can produce patch panels with almost any connector
desired. Don't see it? Just call and ask!
