INTERFACE MODULE
Interface and Power Supply for the RF Cogs™ Modular Series
The RFC-INTF provides an interface
and power supply for the RF Cogs
series of RF modules. While the
user can control these modules by
direct communication via an I2C
bus, the RFC-INTF is designed to
provide control of up to 8 or
more such modules directly from
a PC. In addition, it provides
the DC power required by each.
Connection from the PC to the
Interface Module is accomplished
using either a USB or RS-232
interface. The unit facilitates
controlling the RF modules by
translating simple text commands
that it receives into the I2C
signals that the various RF
modules require. Note that each
controlled module is individually
addressable and can be used
alone or with additional RF
modules of various kinds to make
up the system that you require.
RF modules are available to
perform a number of functions,
such as switching, programmable
attenuation, or gain.
The I2C signals and DC power are
distributed from the RFC-INTF to
the modules by latching
multi-conductor patch cables.
The modules are simply
daisy-chained together from
one module to the next.
The modules in this series can be
mounted flat to a base plate or
vertically into an optional 3U
sub-rack (standard 19 in. rack)
along with the interface module
and other modules.
