MATRIX EXPANSION SYSTEMS
The MESA Series Controllers make it possible to control several different CYTEC Expansion Chassis via a single
control module. They are used to build large matrix or multiplexer configurations or simply run different types
of expansion chassis. The MESA also reduces the costs of large systems since each chassis does not need it’s
own control module, and often they do not need power supplies either. Expansion Chassis can be any combination of different series types from Cytec’s complete line of switching products.
MESA CONTROL CHASSIS
CONTROL MODULES
There are three basic Control Units: the MESA 16, the MESA
32 and the MESA II.
The following Control Modules are available:
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 Chassis has 32 output ports to control 32 expansion chassis from one control module. The MESA 32 is 7" high.
MESA II CONTROL UNIT
Cytec's newest control unit, built for large digital communication
systems with up to 16 chassis. It is 5.25" high.
MANUAL
MANUAL CONTROL OPTIONS
MC-2 has keypad selection of the switches with LCD display.
Switch Manager Software is an interface which enables remote operators to view the status of the system and to control
switch selection using a full graphical user interface.
CM-1 TTL CONTROL
This module utilizes TTL / CMOS signals and requires 13 input
bits and 1 output bit. Typically used when high speed communication is necessary. Used in MESA 16 & 32
CM-5 IEEE488/RS232
This Module has the IEEE488 Bus and RS232 Serial Control .
See page MESA-3 for details. Used in MESA 16 & 32
CM-8 CONTROL MODULE
This module has IEEE488, RS232 and Lan Interfaces. For use
with the MESA II Controller only. See page 3 for more details.
IF-6 LAN INTERFACE
This module interfaces between the local area network and the
RS232 Control Modules using TCP/IP commands.
