Introduction
1.2 Manual Conventions
To help you get the most out of this manual and our products, please note that
we use the following conventions:
Tips are designed to highlight quick ways to get the job done or to reveal
good ideas you might not discover on your own.
NOTE: Notes alert you to important information.
CAUTION! Caution advises you of precautions to take to avoid injury, data loss,
and damage to your boards or a system crash.
Text formatted in bold typeface generally represents text that should be entered
verbatim. For instance, it can represent a command, as in the following
example: “You can instruct users how to run setup using a command such as
setup.exe.”
Bold typeface will also represent field or button names, as in “Click Scan
Network.”
Text formatted in fixed typeface generally represents source code or other text
that should be entered verbatim into the source code, initialization, or other file.
Before you begin:
Before plugging any I/O connector into the Cube or RACK chassis,
be sure to remove power from all field wiring. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the equipment.
No HOT SWAP
Always turn POWER OFF before performing maintenance on a UEI system.
Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to the equipment and
possible injury to personnel.
Usage of Terms
Throughout this manual, the term “Cube” refers to either a PowerDNA Cube
product or to a PowerDNR RACKtangle
applicable. The term DNR is a specific reference to the RACKtangle, DNA to the
PowerDNA I/O Cube, and DNx to refer to both.

1.3 MUX-414 / MUX-418 Board Overview
1.3.1 Multiplexing
Modes
1.3.2 Switch
Conditions
The DNx-MUX-414 boards provide 14 independent 1 x 3 switches for use with
UEI Cube and RACK systems.
The DNA-MUX-414, DNR-MUX-414, and DNF-MUX-414 board versions are
compatible with the UEI Cube, RACKtangle, and FLATRACK respectively. All
board versions are functionally identical except for the mounting hardware. The
DNA version is designed to stack in a Cube chassis. The DNR/F versions are
designed to plug into the backplane of a RACK chassis.
The DNR-MUX-418 boards provide 18 independent 1 x 3 switches for use with
UEI RACKtangle and HalfRACK systems.
MUX-414 / MUX-418 boards are designed for use in a wide variety of switching
and digital control applications.
Each channel provides a “common” terminal connected to three independent
SPST (Form A) contacts. In a typical SIL application, this allows each flight
computer signal to be connected to the actual trainer, a simulated device, a third
test or error signal, or left open to simulate a broken wire or other open circuit
condition.
Each channel is capable of switching voltages up to ±48 VDC, AC waveforms
with peaks less than ±48 VDC or sinusoidal signals up to 34 V
Each channel is rated for continuous operation at 1 A DC or AC rms (at -40 to
85°C) with a switch resistance of less than 0.2 Ω (typical, not including external
cables). All relays default to “open” on power up/reset.
Switching rates up to 250 Hz are supported, and all channels default to breakbefore-make relay operation.

Accessories
MUX-414 / MUX-418 boards can synchronize relay switching via the sync in pin
and sync out pins.
The sync out pin can be configured to change state when programming a relay
state change, and the sync in pin can be configured to delay the switching of
relays until the sync in pulses. Wiring the sync out pin of the final board
configured with the sync in pins of multiple MUX-414 / MUX-418 boards allows
hardware synchronization of relay switching on all outputs.
Users have the capability of reading onboard 2.5 V and 3.3 V supply levels, as
well as onboard temperatures. Users can also read back the current state of
each relay.
Each board provides 350 VDC isolation between channels, as well as between
the board, chassis and other installed I/O boards.
All DNx-MUX-414 connections are made through a 62-pin D connector. Users
may also connect the boards to our DNA-STP-62 screw terminal panel via the
DNA-CBL-62 cables. The cables are fully shielded and are available in 1, 3, 6,
10 and 20 foot lengths.
All DNx-MUX-418 connections are made through a 78-pin D connector. Users
may connect the boards to our DNA-STP-78 screw terminal panel via the
DNA-CBL-78 cables. The cables are fully shielded and are available in
3 and 10 foot lengths.
