53A-353 Relay Switching Card
ORDERING INFORMATION
53A-353 – Relay Switching Card
53A-727 – Analog Cable. or
53A-780 – Hooded Connector
• 24 independently controllable SPST switches
• Selectable maximum operating speed of 20 or 100 operations per second
• Maximum switching current of 4A at 20 operations per second
The 53A-353 Relay Switching Card provides twenty-four independently controllable single-pole, single-throw relays. The relays can be switched at up to 100 times per second while providing a minimum dwell time of four milliseconds. Fully random relay control (open or close) is provided by means of ASCII characters transmitted from the system controller.
BITE
Built-In-Test Equipment (“BITE”) is provided by a readback feature which allows the user to interrogate individual channels under software control to determine closure status. In addition, a row of LED indicators along the front edge of the Card shows which relays are open and which are closed.
