Module Interconnect (PX-BP-28/PX-BP-15)
The
PX-BP-28
Module Interconnect
(MI)
is the central interconnect module for the 28 RU Platinum IP3
frame and the 15 RU Platinum IP3 frame uses a PX-BP-15.
The Input, Output, Crosspoint, Resource, Alarm and other modules are interconnected by copper traces
in the Backplane. Also, DC power, +24V and +5VL, are distributed within the Backplane to all module's
connector.
While the Module Interconnect (MI) is a passive module with no active components on the Module
Interconnect, there are fuses next to each module's connector. These fuses are to prevent damage to
module connectors and the Backplane. See Fuses on the Module Interconnect (PX-BP-28) (on page 303)
for more details.
