PHiliph M3015A Bidirectional MSL Interface With Flexible Cable M3012-66421 For M3 M4 Series

PHiliph M3015A Bidirectional MSL Interface With Flexible Cable M3012-66421 For M3 M4 Series

• Product Description

This component is the "rear panel interface" of the M3015A module. It allows the M3015A to be stacked on the M3001A measurement server or connected to other modules supporting the MSL protocol, enabling bidirectional data transmission.

• Light blue plastic bracket: This is a structural fastener used to position the interface at a specific height on the module's backplane, ensuring mechanical stability during insertion.

• Gray interfaces on both sides: These two interfaces are for connecting the stacking bus of the M3/M4 modular system. They are designed to insert into corresponding sockets in the measurement server or other expansion modules.

• Yellow flexible printed circuit board (FPC): This is the core signal transmission carrier, etched with precise conductive lines for transmitting data and power.

• Side multi-pin interface: This is the other end of the component, used to connect to other boards inside the module.

• Specificatio

• User Guide

• Inspection: Check for physical damage before installation.
• Handling: Avoid bending the FPC board excessively.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the connectors.
• Storage: Keep in a dry, dust-free environment.

• Meaning of "Bidirectional MSL Interface"

1. MSL (Measurement Signal Link):

This is the internal communication bus of the IntelliVue monitor system, used to transmit data and power between the monitor and the measurement module (MMS/Server).

2. Bidirectional:

This means that the interface can receive measurement data from the module (upload) and control signals and power from the host (download).

3. Flexible Cable:

This refers to the flat ribbon cable (Flex Cable) connecting the module's front-end interface (the slot connecting to the monitor host) and the module's internal circuit board. It allows for some physical buffering when the module is inserted and removed, and carries the MSL signal.
