Matrices provide large switching systems

The fully loaded version of the 60-552 is supplied as a 64x64 matrix, but partial x64 configurations are also available.

Pickering Interfaces has released two LXI-compliant matrix solutions.

The 60-600 is a high-current capacity 256 relay crosspoint matrix with a 10A rating capable of switching voltages up to 30V DC or 250V AC.

The 60-600 can be supplied in a variety of matrix configurations from 64x4 to 16x16, one pole.

The 60-600 is packaged in a compact full rack width 1U enclosure using eight-way high-power D Type connectors for both the X and Y axis connections.

The 60-552 is a very high density 4096 relay crosspoint matrix with a 2A rating capable of switching voltages up to 220V DC or 250V AC.

The fully loaded version of the 60-552 is supplied as a 64x64 matrix, but partial x64 configurations are also available.

Like the 60-600, the 60-552 is supplied in a compact 1U full rack width enclosure but uses 78-way D-Type connectors for the user connections.

Loop thru connections are provided to simplify the creation of even larger matrices by using cabled connections between multiple 60-552 matrices.

These cables can be purchased from Pickering Interfaces.

David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces said "These matrices are part of our expanding range of large-scale switching solutions available with LXI compliant control interfaces".

"LXI is proving to be an ideal platform for Pickering Interfaces to develop large switching systems that suit a wide variety of application".

"The form factor of the units permits the creation of systems that are easy to configure and simple to program".
