German term or phrase: Ausgangsmultiplexer 2:1 für Monitorumschaltung

What?????

Appears in a decsription of a product which I assum eis a computer by a company called Visicom Gmbh. At the top of the page it says " Seite 4 zum Angebot A 910122/SO01".

The text surrounding the term looks liek this :

-Schnittstellenmodul zur Maschinensteuerung : 24 digitale Eingangs -, 16 Ausgangskanaele, potentialfrei, 24 Pegei

- Ausgangsmultiplexer 2:1 fuer Monitorumschaltung

- Kontrollmonitor 12 " monochrom fuer Ueberwachungs, installations- und wartungszwecke

Please help. Naming sources would also greatly help me. Thank you !

English translation:output multiplexer for 2:1 monitor switchover

Explanation:
It is actually video mux - but ST says only "output". Please note that a monitor (12" monochrome) is mentioned too.

Why is the 2:1 after the " for" and not before? In the original German it is " Ausgangsmultiplexer 2:1 fuer ( for ) Monitorumschaltung. Would that not be : Output multiplexer 2:1 for monitor switchover" in English then ?

I don't know enough German to reply in German - how your proposition of muxing two outputs to one monitor reconciles with "Monitorumschaltung" ? I would rather call it "Ausgangsumschaltung". In you proposition, the information displayed on the monitor is "umschalt-ed" - not the physical monitor itself. In any case it is a philosophical question - sometimes the source text itself is badly written.

Oops - my error - I corrected it. BTW should be IMHO 1:2 (one output, two monitors) because they say Monitorumschaltung - unless I don't understand what they mean.

Thank you !
And why is the 2:1 after the " for" ?
Ausgangsmultiplexer 2:1 fuer Monitorumschaltung
Output multiplexer 2:1 for monitor switchover

Does that not make more sense? I am just asking, as I do not know.

I hope I am as smart as you one day. I can read the words but I do not know what they mean. The spelling mistake must be in the ST then because in front of me it says " pegei" black on white. There is definately a dot above the vertical line, definately an "i".
Do you have any source where I can verify the term? Not because I do not believe you but because I need a source.

Is there such a word in German "Pegei" ?

20:12 Oct 26, 2010

IMHO 24 V is the discrete In and Out interfaces voltage level (Pegel) - one of the standard I/O voltage levels defined in IEC 61131-2 (The PLC hardware standard). The modern monitor multiplexing method (for a PC system) is the KVM mux (KVM = Keyboard, Video, Mouse) with which you can operate (alternately) two computers with one "console".

Ok, I left out the V after 24, but it is definately " pegei" with an I not an L.
Do you have any source for that? I need a source to back myself up.

typos ?

19:52 Oct 26, 2010

Should be IMHO: "Schnittstellenmodul zur Maschinensteuerung : 24 digitale Eingangs -, 16 Ausgangskanaele, potentialfrei, 24 V Pegel"
