OP5607 Installation and Configuration
Testing I/O Signals
Connecting the I/O Loopback Kit
Installation is simply a matter of placing the chassis on a shelf or a desktop or inserting it into a traditional rack and connecting the cables. When installing
an OP5607 in a system, it is important to have all connections completed before turning the unit on.
Connecting Cables
These are the basic cabling instructions for your OP5607. Use the cables provided to connect your devices, as instructed.
Step 1
PCIe
connection
for
OP5607-IO-
PCIe units
only
If your OP5607 came as part of full system delivery, including an OPAL-RT simulator, simply connect the PCIe cable between the
simulator and the OP5607 PCIe connector in the back of the unit. Make sure to connect the cable end labeled
to the simulator,
host
and the cable end labeled
to the OP5607.
target
If you purchased the OP5607 as a separate unit, it is delivered with a PCIe cable and a PCIe interface board. This board must be
installed in your OPAL-RT simulator. Contact OPAL-RT Support for instructions to install the PCIe adaptor board in the simulator. Then
connect the PCIe cable from the PCIe connector at the back of the OP5607 to the simulator. Make sure to connect the cable end
labeled host to the simulator, and the cable end-labeled target to the OP5607.
SFP
connection
- for
OP5607-IO-
MUSE
units only
If your OP5607 came configured for MuSE communication, use the SFP transceivers and LC-LC multimode fiber cable purchased with
the unit to connect one of the unit’s SFP ports to one of the real-time simulator’s SFP ports configured for MuSE communication.
Unless otherwise specified in the System Description document of your unit, any of the sixteen SFP ports can be used for MuSE
communication.
When using SFP ports for Generic Aurora communication with other OPAL-RT units or external devices, additional SFP modules and
optical fiber cable are required.
Step 2
Connect the power cord to the unit and plug it into an appropriate power source (outlet).
Step 3
Connect the DB37 cables from the OP5607 to external devices (motor, controller, etc.). Before connecting cables, make sure that the amplitude is
compatible with the voltage ranges of the
installed.
