4096 Switching System
DESCRIPTION
The 4096 Precision Programmable Patch switching system
employs reed relays to form matrix switches. A wide variety
of standard switch systems are available including systems
which provide multiple independent matrices in a single
mainframe. Refer to the standard matrix charts.
Input and output selector options which use reed relay
switches are offered for applications in which it is useful to
concentrate inlets before a matrix, or to expand outputs after the matrix. In addition, cost-effective bank switches can
be incorporated in available I/O card slots in the mainframe.
Larger switching systems can be configured by bussing the
inlets or outlets of multiple mainframes by I/O “T”ing, and
controlling the system from a single “master” mainframe
with the appropriate firmware.
Systems are available with coaxial BNC, twinaxial BNC, or
multipin I/O connectors. Custom I/O connectors can be provided to meet special applications.

SYSTEM OPERATION
It’s simple to enter the crosspoint switch settings you want
for the test setup. It’s then simple to verify that the settings
have in fact been correctly entered into memory. It’s also a
simple matter to verify that your Precision Patch is performing correctly with the switch settings entered. Should there
be a problem, a diagnostic report helps isolate the problem.
SET: indicates which of five setups is selected as the active
set for the matrix. Four setups, Set 1 through Set 4, are
stored locally in non-volatile memory. A fifth setup, Set 0, is
automatically selected as the default configuration at powerup. Set 0 is reset at power-off, so the system always powers up with all switches open.
We’ve created the Precision Programmable Patch to respect
and protect the productivity of scheduled time in the test facility.
The SET key is used to select the active set. For example,
the key sequence SET 3 ENT selects setup 3 as the active
set. Another feature of sets is that setups can be copied.
The COPY key is used to copy a stored setup into the active
set.
Setting Up Your Programmable Patch
You know the inlets where you’ve connected the signals
coming from the model under test. You also know the outlets to which you’ve connected the various instruments.
Make a matrix diagram that shows the inlets and outlets.
Then, mark the crosspoints where you want the switches
closed. Referring to the diagram, list the inlet and outlet coordinates for each crosspoint.
It’s easy to enter the crosspoints into memory. With the list,
select the inlet and enter the outlet. Step to the next inlet
and enter the outlet. You can quickly enter the crosspoints
for a large matrix. You can enter your crosspoints at the
front panel. Or you can do your programming off-line and
down-load to your Programmable Patch.
The front panel menu and controls provide a convenient
way to set up the switch system. There’s computer control
available, of course, via the remote interface. Unlimited programs can be stored in the host computer.
IN OUT
#1 6432
SET MODE
0 1–M #1: indicates that there is one matrix in the mainframe. In
systems with two, three or four matrices, there is a status
line displayed for each matrix. The # key in the numeric
keypad is used to select the active matrix. The key sequence
# 2 ENT, for example, selects matrix 2 as the active matrix.
The active matrix is indicated by the arrow brackets.
MODE: 1-M indicates that each inlet can be connected to
one or more outlets. Select 1-1 to ensure that only one outlet can be connected to an inlet.
Edit Mode
Edit mode makes it possible to modify the setups offline.
The EDIT key places the system in Edit mode. A scratch
pad copy of the five sets for the matrix is created and a
separate line is displayed on the menu in which changes
can be made to the sets. No changes are made to the active
setups until the SAVE key is pressed.
Remote Operation
Programming the switch system from a host computer is as
easy as operating it at the front panel. System setups programmed at the front panel can be up-loaded to the host
computer and stored. A stored setup can be down-loaded
from the host computer, eliminating programming effort altogether. Remote commands are in plain English and are
similar to the front panel menu. This command sequence
defines two switch closures for Set 1 of matrix 1.

Connect inlet 16 to outlet 1.
Connect inlet 12 to outlet 2.
Verifying Setups
IN OUT: displays the inlet that is connected to the addressed outlet. In the menu above, inlet 64 is connected to
outlet 32. Connections are entered at the numeric keypad
using the key. The key sequence 16 32 ENT, for example, connects inlet 16 to outlet 32.
You can read and verify from the front panel that the switch
settings are in memory. Or you can call for status via the
host computer.
To review switch settings, step through the outlets by pressing the + and – keys in the numeric keypad, and note the
displayed inlet connections. Or display a specific outlet with
the key. For example, 24 ENT displays the connection
for outlet 24.

ELEMENTS OF A SWITCHING SYSTEM
MAINFRAMES
A single mainframe may house multiple independent small
systems. A single system may consist of several mainframes bussed together. The variety of Precision Patch configurations is immense.
The 4096 begins with a mainframe that houses a bottom
plane. Up to 18 I/O cards and up to 18 switch modules can
be interconnected by the bottom plane. Also interconnected
are the control module, front panel and power.

Elements of a Typical Switch System
The mainframe for a 4096 switching system can be assembled in numerous ways. The completed mainframe is designated 4096-R??, where the two-digit suffix is a unique
mainframe ID number. The system consists of a basic mainframe (4096-R0) holding a bottom plane (4096-??-Bxx??-??), one to eighteen inlet and outlet connector cards, one to
eighteen switch modules, a front panel (4096-FP?), and a
control module.
The 4096-FP1 is a front panel with controls and display for
entering commands and displaying switch states. The FP1
allows remote control via a computer interface as well as
front panel control.
The 4096-FP0 is a blank front panel with switch control via
the computer interface. The 4096-FP0 is often used in multiple mainframe systems in which the “master” mainframe
has an FP1 front panel and “slave” mainframes have a
4096-FP0 front panel.

Basic Mainframe
The basic mainframe is an enclosure with power supplies
but without a front panel, rear panel, or bottom plane.
The mainframe is 19 inches wide, 10.5 inches high, and 22
inches deep and is designed to fit in a standard RETMA
rack.
Power Requirements
The standard power supply lets you select operation at 120
or 240 VAC and frequency may range from 47 to 66 Hz.

BOTTOM PLANES
Bottom Plane Model Numbers
The bottom plane includes the connectors for plugging in
the I/O cards and switch modules, while providing structure
for the mainframe. The size depends on the application. The
size of the bottom plane and the number of connectors vary
with the size of the switch matrix, as needed now or anticipated for the future. Bottom planes which support multiple
independent switch matrices in a single mainframe are also
available.
There are two families of bottom planes: the BNCXX family
used with coaxial and twinaxial BNC I/O connector cards
and the BMPXX family used with multipin I/O connector
cards.
The bottom plane provides signal bussing from switch module
to switch module, and between switch modules and connector
cards. Signals are routed between ground planes and ground
lines are placed between signals to
reduce crosstalk.
Switch module bussing in the bottom plane builds larger
switches from the switch modules. Outlets are bussed to expand the switch to a larger number of inlets. Similarly, to expand outlets, inlets are bussed in the bottom plane.
In addition, the bottom plane busses calibration and monitor
signals to the connector cards for self-test, busses control signals to the switch and I/O cards, and distributes power to all
system components.
The switch modules and I/O connector cards plug into bottom
plane connectors. The bottom plane contains multi-row DINstyle pin connectors. The switch modules and I/O connector
cards contain the mating socket connector.
Bottom planes vary in size from a 4096-4-BMP32, which is
four I/O connectors wide, to a 4096-18-BMP64, which is 18
I/O connectors wide. In addition, bottom planes may be partially populated with connectors, such as a 4096-18-BMP64-68. This provides a lower cost solution for a switch system that
will not be filled to its maximum capacity.

4096 SWITCH MODULES
Each switch module is a small relay switch matrix. Modules
are interconnected on the bottom plane via inlet and output
bussing to build large matrices. Up to 18 switch modules
may be installed in the bottom plane.

The 4000 bank switch cards can be installed in open connector card slots in the 4096 mainframe to provide bank
switches. For applications which require only bank switching—no switch matrix—there is the System 4000 bank
switch.
Twelve I/O connectors are located on a BNC I/O card. Multipin I/O cards provide greater I/O density which allows
larger matrices in a mainframe.
The connector panels of the I/O cards form the rear panel
on the mainframe. Unused slots are filled with blank panels.

4096-I/O-MP2
Mass terminated 16 coax signal pairs
50-pin Cannon D connector for

Because the reed-relay matrices are bidirectional, the connections are referred to as inlets and outlets.
Inlet and outlet connections are made on plug-in connector
cards. A variety of connector types (coaxial BNC, twinaxial
BNC, multipin for mass terminated coax ribbon cable, or
twisted shielded pair cable) are available, providing wide
choices for external cables and connectors. The number of
connectors per I/O card also varies to provide economical
implementation of different sizes of switch matrices.
I/O cards for applications requiring a 4096 switch matrix
have I/O connectors and provide signal runs to the bottom
plane.
Special versions of multipin I/O cards incorporate reed relays which function as inlet concentrators (bank switches
feeding a matrix) and outlet expanders (bank switches after
the matrix). Connector cards with Option S2 incorporate
bank switches on the I/O card for use ahead of a matrix to
concentrate inlets, or after the matrix to expand outputs. I/O
cards with Option T provide parallel connectors on the card
for “T”ing the inlets or outputs of multiple mainframes. The
cal option, Option C, uses relays on the I/O cards to open
the signal path and connect test signal sources and measuring devices to the matrix for self test.

Option C, Calibration
Blank panels (RP1-RP10) are provided to cover any of the

This option provides relay pairs at each inlet and outlet. One
relay in the signal path opens and a second relay injects a
calibration signal source, or attaches a measuring device,
allowing self-test of all matrix crosspoints. This option is
used in conjunction with the 4096-1-TEST subsystem on
the control module.

There are applications which require only bank switching—no switch matrix—and the Precision 4000 provides
bank switch cards for those applications. The bank switch
cards are installed in the available I/O card slots. Bank
switch cards are I/O cards which use reed relays for
switches; there are both inlets and outlets on the same
card.

MATING CONNECTORS AND CABLES
A variety of connector types (coaxial BNC, twinaxial BNC,
multipin for mass terminated coax ribbon cable, or twisted
shielded pair cable) are available, providing wide choices
for external cables and connectors.
MP1 Connectors—MP1 connector cards use an AMP connector designed for mass terminating with a 16 coax ribbon
cable. The ribbon coax can be split apart and connected to
BNC connectors. MP1 connectors are available on both the
4096 I/O cards and the 4000 bank switch I/O cards.

CONTROL MODULES
The control module provides programming commands to
set relays on switch modules and I/O modules. It operates
the front panel display and keyboard and performs remote
interface functions with a host computer. The control module mounts behind the System 4096 front panel. Five control modules are available to meet different needs.

“ALL” Test 1
The 4096-C0 provides full control of the system from the
front panel, but provides no remote interface. The 4096-C1
provides an interface that is plug compatible with the general purpose interface bus –GPIB– or IEEE-Std-488. The
4096-C2 provides a serial interface which conforms to EIA
standard RS-232C. The 4096-C4 provides a serial interface
which conforms to EIA standard RS-422. The 4096-C9 is a
Slave Control which permits several 4096 systems to be operated from a single control module.
Test Subsystem
Option T of the 4096-C? control module, with cal options
on the I/O cards, provides a means of performing go/no-go
system tests and diagnostics for fault location. Should there
be a problem, a diagnostic report helps isolate it.
The test subsystem is capable of testing the 4096 switch
matrix to verify switch connections.There is no need to
disconnect the inlet or output cables. The test subsystem injects a 10 kHz sinewave into the individual inlets. The corresponding output is checked for proper level.
The generating inlet is checked to verify that the cal signal
is actually being applied to the matrix as an additional test.
With these tests, the system can be checked for shorts or
opens, and the cal signal itself is checked. This helps to
quickly isolate failures to a specific card.
The inlet and cal
relays are also
checked for proper
operation. By systematically turning
relays on and off
and measuring the
relay power, coils
can be tested for
opens and shorts.
4096-I/O-12BNC1-C
Monitor Bus
The “ALL” test is an exhaustive test of all possible matrix
connections, which identifies opens, shorts and coil failures
on I/O relays.
Test Reports
When the selected test is complete, a test report is available
to be displayed on the front panel or read by the host computer. The most recent test report is stored in system memory until power is removed from the system. The report
identifies in order any detected inlet errors, outlet errors and
switch card errors. It also lists the failure type (open, short
or coil failure) and the I/O cards and switch module cards
that may have failed. This report indicates a defect (an
open) at K1 on the inlet card in card slot 18.

A test report can also be obtained by the host computer. In
this report, no inlet or output errors were detected. The first
error in Matrix 1 was in the signal path between inlet 1 (on
the I/O card in slot 18) and outlet 1(on the I/O card in slot
17). Relay K1 on the SSX card in slot 17 is shown as open.

SYSTEM SELECTION GUIDES
Let’s make the selections for this hypothetical case:
Ten system selection guides follow which describe the
standard 4096 switch systems available from Precision Filters. The tables are organized by inlet/outlet connector type
and by the size of the matrices. There are separate tables
for systems which support multiple matrices in a mainframe.
A.
B.
C.
D.
Coaxial BNC inlet/outlet connectors.
Matrix system.
Precision 4096 reed relays.
Programmable Patch with 80x16 matrix.
Going to the appropriate chart, we find the line reproduced
at the bottom of this page. And the chart indicates we need
the following:
1. Bottom plane: 4096-18-BNC18-9-5.
Each selection table identifies the model numbers and quantities of all the system components required to configure a
switching system of a specific size.
