BULLETIN MESA-6 2555 Baird Road, Penfield, New York 14526 (585) 381-4740 FAX (585) 381-0475 MESA SERIES MATRIX EXPANSION SYSTEMS The MESA Series Controllers make it possible to control multiple CYTEC switch chassis from one Control Module. It can be utilized to build large Matrix or Multiplexer configurations or simply run multiple different types of chassis. The MESA also saves money on large systems since each chassis does not need a separate control module and often do not need power supplies.
MESA CONTROL UNITS There are three basic models of the MESA Control Unit: the MESA 4, the MESA 16 and the MESA 32. They contain Power Supplies and an Expansion Motherboard. The Control Module and Expansion Interface Modules plug into the Motherboard so that one Control Module can control up to 32 Expansion Chassis. The System shown in Fig. 1 has a MESA 16 Control Unit and four Expansion Chassis arranged and addressed as a 32x16 Matrix.
CM-5 IEEE488/RS232 CM-6 LAN INTERFACE This Module combines both the IEEE488 Talk Listen Control and the RS232 Serial Controls. This is a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN to RS232 interface module which accepts data in TCP/IP format from the Local Area Network and outputs it in RS232 format to the MESA. When used with the RS232 Serial Module, it can control the MESA Control Units with the same Command Structure detailed in the CM-5.
EXPANSION CHASSIS The versatility of the MESA Expansion System is that it enables up to 32 Expansion Chassis of different types to be controlled from one Control Unit. This means that it is possible to build a complete Switching System requiring Matrices, Multiplexers, Group Switches or Individual Relays by selecting the Expansion Chassis and Switch Modules most suitable for the application.
