System 3000
Overview
Hot swappable chassis ideal for delivering large scale fault switching and signal distribution to any number of users
With the System 3000 series chassis, large systems can be constructed at once or can evolve with the addition of distribution modules over time. The System 3000 Series hot-swap chassis offers a full set of plug-in modules for switching between redundant inputs and for large-scale signal distribution. Microsemi's System 3000 series chassis uses the Universal Serial Bus (USB) to enable the removal and insertion of modules without disrupting power or interruption of operating modules.
Plug In Switching Modules
The System 3000 Series hot-swap chassis offers a full set of plug-in modules for switching between redundant inputs and for large-scale signal distribution. Switches include modes for 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 1PPS and IRIG-B switch between two inputs. The switches can be operated manually or in auto-switch mode where the selection of input is changed based on a loss-of-signal detection.Swap Output Modules On Demand Without Disruption
The System 3000 signal amplifiers provide high quality copies of an input signal for time, frequency and timecode signals. Each amplifier can be inserted into the chassis and put into service without affecting other modules in the chassis. Similarly, modules can be removed from the chassis without affecting users connected to other modules.Hot Swappable Chassis
The System 3000 Universal Serial Bus (USB) enables removal and insertion of modules, power supplies, and controlling computer CPU so that the chassis can be serviced without affecting users.Monitoring and Control
A controlling computer packaged in the System 3000 chassis collects status and alarm information from each module and provides summary information for remote collection over an Ethernet connection.Key Features
- Hot swapping of all modules, chassis CPU, and power supplies
- Auto-switching for 5/10 MHz, 1PPS and IRIG-B (Modulated and DC)
- Low noise amplifiers for signal distribution
- Status and alarm collection for all input and output signals
- Alarm reporting over Ethernet interface
- Dual redundant fans and power supplies for high reliability
