The EX1200-3096 high-density multiplexer is designed for scanning of multiple points to a common bus, in either 2- or 4-wire configurations. The sequencing of switch and measure operations can be tightly synchronized as part of the EX1200 embedded scan list to minimize processor overhead and increase test throughput.
The EX1200-3096 consists of dual (1 x 48) 2-wire multiplexer banks. Each bank can be interconnected within a module under program control (via bussing relays) and across modules via the EX1200 analog bus to configure larger multiplexers as required. This eliminates external wiring and helps reduce unterminated stubs. Up to 576 two-wire (or 288 four-wire) channels can be accommodated in a single EX1200 full rack mainframe for maximum density.
An optional terminal block provides screw termination points for external field wiring. This terminal block also includes cold junction compensation reference for more precise temperature measurements.
