NOTE
: All SCRAMNet
+
nodes in the fiber-optic network ring must be powered on
unless Fiber Optic Bypass Switches or Quad Switches are installed.
5.4 Basic Send/Receive Configuration
The following conditions must exist in order to have basic send and receive capability
on the network:
•
Set CSR0 to ‘0xF000’ to insert the node and initiate the reset of the FIFOs.
•
Set CSR0 to ‘0x8003’ to insert the node, toggle the reset of the FIFOs and enable
network activity.
•
Set CSR2 to ‘0xC040’ to use BURST mode and disable the fiber-optic loopback
mode.
•
READ CSR1 to read-out any latched error conditions.
•
READ CSR1 again to check for any existing error conditions.
•
Check for carrier-detect fail (this means there are fiber-optic cabling problems
from the transmitter of the node downstream).
•
WRITE a value to memory from at least one node. This enables all powered node
transmitters and checks for fiber-optic ring integrity.
•
READ CSR1 to check for any error conditions.
5.5 Network Ring
Data is passed from one node to the next by fiber-optic or coaxial cable. Given a three-
node network configuration with nodes A, B and C, the following connections would be
made:
•
The transmitter pair from node A is connected by fiber-optic cable to the receiver
pair of the next node B.
•
The transmitter pair from node B is connected by fiber-optic cable to the receiver
pair of node C.
•
The transmitter pair of node C is then connected to the receiver pair of node A,
thus completing a fiber-optic network ring.
5.5.1 Message Contents
The smallest SCRAMNet
+
Network message packet consists of 82 bits. This basic
message format contains five fields: Source ID, Age, Control, Data Address, and Data
Value. The message can be described as follows:
Table 5-1 S Message Contents
START ID AGE CONTROL DATA
ADDRESS DATA
VALUE
1
8+P
8+P
1 1 1
RES INT RTY
5+P 8+P 8+P
8+P 8+P 8+P 8+P
For every 8 bits of data in the message there is a parity bit attached.
SOURCE ID
This 8-bit field contains the node ID of the originating node. Value ranges from 0 to 255,
so there can be 256 nodes on the network ring.
