Expanding the Number of Rows
The SCXI-1334 offers convenient methods for expanding the number of rows of a matrix
using two or more SCXI-1334 terminal blocks.
Caution
When using matrix expansion plugs, only connect terminal blocks of the
same type. Connecting different types of terminal blocks can damage the module or
the equipment connected to the module. For example, you can connect two or more
SCXI-1334 terminal blocks; however, do not connect the SCXI-1334 with any other
type of terminal block.
1.
Connect a matrix expansion plug to the top or bottom column connectors of the two
terminal blocks.
2.
Refer to the following figure for information about how to expand the number of rows.
The figure demonstrates how to expand the number of rows of a 4 x 32 matrix as an
example.

The SCXI-1334 configures the SCXI-1129 as a 4 x 64 matrix. Connecting the SCXI-1334
terminal blocks as described above creates an 8 x 64 matrix.
