MESA II Modular Controllers
These controllers allow you to run multiple DX/256x256 Expansion Chassis from a single point of control and provides the following benefits:
Control Options
Allows for redundant supplies but not hot swappable.
Allows for redundant controls on a single DX chassis.
Allows for remote Power Supply monitoring.

Hot Swap Power Supply Option
All power supplies are either universal 90 to 260 VAC input or selectable 110 / 220.
19" rack mount modular power supplies. These supplies
allow you provide redundant hot-swappable power supply
modules for each DC voltage. Supplies are diode isolated
to share the load unless one supply fails. Failure results in
an alert LED or can be setup to trigger an alarm. Power
supply status monitor option for the Mesa control chassis
allows you to remote monitor the supply status.
Buffer Options
Custom Buffer Modules can be built to switch any type of serial data below 80 Mbps NRZ. E-mail or call us with your specs for
a quote on custom buffer modules.

Cytec can produce custom patch panels with almost any
type of connector to interface between your cables and
the connectors on our buffer modules. Call or e-mail
your specs for details.
Single Chassis Mesa Controller with Redundant Supplies and Controls
Model 5215 Patch Panel converts D78 connectors to
D25 connectors with a specific pin-out for RS422 Clock
and Data Pairs.
Configuration of multiple chassis larger than 128x128, driven in
parallel for Clock and Data systems.
Allows for modular redundant control modules to increase
MTBF and decrease MTTR.
Allows for power supply status remote monitoring.
• Provides a single point of control for multiple chassis.
• CM-8 Interface allows IEEE488, RS232 and 100BaseT Ethernet
LAN with two TCP/IP ports.
