The switching network serves for the freely
selectable connecting of input lines (E1,...,E128)
combined into a plurality of input-line groups to at
least one output-line group (A1,...,A16), on the one hand
each of the input-line groups being connected to a
separate switching element (SE) of at least one arrangement
of switching elements (for example KA21) having a
funnel structure. On the other hand, the respective
arrangement of switching elements has a number of outputs
corresponding to the number of output lines belonging to
the respective output-line group. Each of these outputs
is in connection with one of the output lines belonging
to the respective output-line group. In this case, it is
provided that the respective arrangement of switching
elements (KA21) is formed only by the switching elements
(SE) connected to the input-line groups. The switching
elements in each case have outputs which are individually
assigned to the output lines belonging to the respective
output-line group. In this case, only one of the mutually
corresponding outputs of these switching elements can be
connected, according to choice, to the relevant output
line of the respect output-line group by switching means.
L'invention concerne une interface servant à connecter de manière sélective des lignes d'entrée (E1,..., E128) regroupées en une pluralité de groupes de lignes d'entrée, à au moins un groupe de lignes de sortie (A1,..., A16). Chacun des groupes de lignes d'entrée est connecté à un élément d'interface (SE) séparé d'au moins un agencement d'éléments d'interface (par ex. KA21) à structure conique. Chaque agencement d'éléments d'interface dispose d'un nombre de sorties correspondant au nombre de lignes de sortie appartenant à chaque groupe de lignes de sortie. Chacune de ces sorties est connectée à une des lignes de sortie appartenant au groupe de lignes de sortie correspondant. Il est prévu que chaque agencement d'éléments d'interface (KA21) ne comprenne que les éléments d'interface (SE) connectés aux groupes de lignes d'entrée. Les éléments d'interface disposent chacun de sorties associées individuellement aux lignes de sortie appartenant au groupe de lignes de sortie correspondant. Seule une des sorties de ces éléments d'interface, qui correspondent les unes aux autres, peut être connectée de manière sélective par des éléments de commutation à la ligne de sortie appropriée du groupe de lignes de sortie correspondant.
