MESA SERIES
MATRIX EXPANSION SYSTEMS
The following Control Modules are available:
CM-1 TTL CONTROL
This module utilizes TTL / CMOS signals and requires 13 input
bits and 1 output bit. Typically used when high speed commu-
nication is necessary. May be driven from a CYTEC PC-IO
computer card.
CM-5 IEEE488/RS232
This Module has both the IEEE488 Bus and RS232 Serial Con-
trol . See page MESA-3 for details.
IF-6 LAN INTERFACE
This module interfaces between the Local Area Network and
the RS232 Control Modules using TCP/IP commands.

System
The MESA Series Controllers make it possible to control multiple CYTEC switch chassis from one Con-
trol 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.
These Chassis can be any combination of different types of Expansion Chassis from CYTEC's complete
line of switching products.

MANUAL CONTROL OPTIONS
MC-2 has keypad selection of the switches with display.
VMCS is a software interface which enables the remote opera-
tor to view the Status of the Matrix and to Control Switch Selec-
tion using a full Graphical User Interface.
There are three basic Control Units: the MESA 4, the MESA
16 and the MESA 32.
MESA 4 CONTROL UNIT
This Control Unit has 4 Output Ports to control 4 Expansion
Chassis from one Control Module. The MESA 4 is 3.5" high.
MESA 16 CONTROL UNIT
This Control Unit has 16 Output Ports to control 16 Expansion
Chassis from one Control Module. The MESA 16 is 3.5" high.
MESA 32 CONTROL UNIT
This Control Unit has 32 Output Ports to control 32 Expansion
Chassis from one Control Module. The MESA 32 is 7" high.
Drivers available for National Instrument's LabView or
LabWindows programming platforms or Agilent VEE pro-
gramming platform.
