1.0 Introduction

A highly reliable managed Ethernet switch is required for use in subsea control networks to provide both copper and optical links for 10/100/1000 Mbps communications using standard open protocols.

Focal’s Model 922-MES board is a layer 2 managed Ethernet switch (MES) with ten ports capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps link speeds. Two of these ports can be equipped with small form factor (SFP) transceivers that support Fast (100Base-FX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X).

The MES provides a configurable managed switch for use in subsea distribution units or Subsea Electronics Modules (SEMs). Interchangeable fiber optic transceivers allow for port configuration as low-power optical links to tie-ins and other subsea nodes or as high-power optical links to the surface via long optical umbilical cables. Complete redundancy can be achieved using multiple cards within a distribution unit or SEM. Redundancy protocols supported by the MES include MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).

Advanced diagnostics provide real time health monitoring of the system and include optical SFP information, temperature, voltage, current, humidity, Ethernet link status, and Ethernet switch configuration. The MES provides diagnostics access via Telnet and Modbus TCP.

Focal’s subsea qualified fiber-optic SFP transceivers are recommended for use with this board. Options available include bidirectional transceivers and CWDM transceivers with support for 50 km, 100 km and up to 200 km range.

The following features and processes are used to ensure reliability and increase product life:

 Conductive cooling and detailed thermal analysis  Advanced diagnostics and health monitoring via Modbus TCP  Use of industrial temperature range electronic components  No fuses, electrolytic or tantalum capacitors  Environmental stress screening  Full qualification testing per API 17F / ISO 13628-6  Traceable components  Use of field-proven electrical and optical components  Design for vibration, shock and EMC

3.0 Architecture Overview

The Model 922-MES may be configured with optical links for long distance connections from subsea to surface or long distance optical links (up to 200 km) connecting between subsea nodes. Copper ports support links to short distance (up to 100 m) sensors and PLCs.

The 922-MES supports:

 Two (2) SFP Ethernet ports for 100BASE-FX / 1000BASE-X operation  Eight (8) Copper Ethernet ports for 10BASE-T /100BASE-TX / 1000BASE-T operation

The Ethernet ports and media types available for the MES is shown in the figure below.

The 922-MES PCB has a Eurocard form factor with a 96-pin DIN header at the back for access to eight copper ports (CU1 to CU8) and power. The two SFP transceiver cages at the front provide access to SFP1 and SFP2 ports.

3.1 Example Optical Topologies

The Ethernet switch-based architecture and the configuration adopted for the 922-MES can be used to satisfy a number of different subsea operational requirements.

For example, more than one MES Ethernet modem can be used to provide full card redundancy. Alternatively, configuring each card to connect to separate copper Ethernet devices provides additional throughput capacity. Lastly, connecting a copper Ethernet channel between two modems (i.e. electrically daisy-chaining the second card), can provide a second pair of optical connections for other subsea nodes. With RSTP functionality enabled in the MES the copper ports can also be used to electrically daisy chain multiple cards using multiple copper ports. The figures below illustrate some alternative optical topologies supported by this modem.

Configuration and use of the optical and copper ports on the switch are set by a combination of installed optical transceivers and switch register settings. The Ethernet switch settings may be changed from their default settings using a Modbus TCP connection to the MES over any of the 8 copper or 2 optical Ethernet ports.

4.0 Configuration

On power up, the 922-MES starts a boot-up sequence that includes hardware and software initialization of the Ethernet switching functions. This initialization period typically takes about 1.5 minutes and during this time all Ethernet ports are disabled. After this period the switch configuration is loaded from an EEPROM with factory default settings which are listed in section 4.1. These default settings can be changed via any Ethernet port using a Modbus or Telnet connection and also saved to the EEPROM by the user to accommodate specific switch functions and network topologies.

MES cards with diagnostics firmware ≥0xA3 support saving the user’s switch configuration to EEPROM via Telnet and Modbus. In addition to the standard boot-up process previously described, cards with uC DIAG FW ≥0xA3 have a second layer verification to ensure the MES core loads its configuration correctly. This layer of verification consists of monitoring the MES core and ensuring the card boots-up correctly on power-up and that the MES core operating system is running correctly. In the unlikely event that a failure is detected such that the MES core cannot access the user EEPROM to load its configuration or the MES core stops responding, the card will attempt to fix the problem on its own by self-rebooting (up to 3 times) and in where needed it will attempt to re-load factory default backup switch configurations depending on the error detected. Note that error codes are embedded in Modbus data and UDP heartbeat packets which are sent automatically by the card every 5 seconds

(factory default).

The MES card also includes a remote firmware upgrade feature which offers an upgrade path to support future protocols or application specific requirements.

The card’s default Ethernet port settings are as follows:

 Copper ports CU1-CU8 are 10BASE-T /100BASE-TX / 1000BASE-T with auto-negotiation and auto

MDI/MDI-X enabled.

 SFP ports SFP1-SFP2 are 1000BASE-X.  Supported packet sizes are standard Ethernet frames (64-1518 bytes), Ethernet II type frame (1536

bytes), huge frames (1916, 2048 bytes) and jumbo frames (9000 bytes).

The configuration options for the card that are saved in non-volatile memory EEPROM include the following:

 Ethernet Switch Settings

o Link speed, duplex and negotiation mode (per port) o MRP mode (MRM or MRC) for SFP ports SFP1-SFP2. o RSTP for copper ports CU1-CU8 (global)

 Diagnostic Settings

o Network, IP configuration o DHCP mode o UDP heartbeat frame rate and type o Serial diagnostics

Diagnostic interfaces to the card include Ethernet ports (any copper or SFP) for full diagnostics and control of the board and a factory serial diagnostics interface via a 3.5 mm non-isolated RS-232 port which provides basic read-only card configuration information and board status intended for factory bench testing.

The MES card is fully programmed at the factory (core, diagnostics, EEPROMs, etc.). MES core firmware options are shown in the table below. By default the card is shipped with core firmware P/N: 922-1008-50 unless otherwise requested or specified by the customer. The MES card’s diagnostics firmware (uC DIAG) P/N 9221008-00 is the same for both MES core FW options.

4.2 Initial User Setup

The card is fully operational with factory default settings shown in Table 4-2. The following settings are typically reviewed by the end user and are changed as required depending on the network topology where the card will be used.

SFP Port Mode of Operation (redundant or daisy chain):

 MRP: ON / OFF  Mode: MRC / MRM

Note: In redundant operation (e.g. ring topology) where two MES cards can be connected together using both SFP ports, normally MRP is ON with MRM mode at the surface card and MRP is ON with MRC mode at the subsea card. For daisy chain operation (two SFPs active at the same time) the cards can be left in MRC mode or with MRP OFF.

SFP Media Type (link speed):

 100BASE-FX / 1000BASE-X

Note: No changes are required for factory-provided SFPs. In cases where the end user installs third party SFPs, changes might be required depending on the SFP type. It is highly recommended to use Focal approved SFPs to ensure reliable performance of the card.

Network Settings:

 Diagnostics  Factory reserved parameters

Note: Diagnostics is served by a microcontroller (uC DIAG) and provides access to all diagnostic options and management of the card. The factory reserved parameters are intended for future use and could be used by a secondary microcontroller embedded in the MES switch core.

4.2.1 Initial Card Configuration via Telnet

1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable between your PC and CU1 (or any other copper port) of the card under configuration.

2. Power up the card (+24 VDC).

Note: The card boot-up time is about 1.5 minutes and on-board LEDs will indicate a physical link after this period of time. The user can run continuous pings (IP: 192.168.0.100) to the card as a way to verify once a Telnet link can be established. By default, DHCP is enabled and this might increase the time between power-up and initial ping responses.

3. Using a terminal emulator program, such as TeraTerm, establish a Telnet connection to the card using: a. Host: 192.168.0.100 b. TCP Port #: 23

4. The “Model922 MES>” prompt will appear after a connection has been established. At this point Telnet commands can be used to change and save new user settings. It is recommended to record the new settings for future reference. Typical configuration options are shown below. a. SFP port mode of operation.

b. SFP media type.

c. Network settings.

Note: For a complete list of available telnet commands refer to the “Telnet Interface” section of this document.

5. Power cycle the card for all changes to take effect.

4.2.2 Initial Card Configuration via GUI

MES cards with diagnostics FW 922-1008-00 (uC DIAG) version ≥ 0xA4 can be configured using Focal’s sample 922-MES GUI P/N 922-0408-00. More details of the GUI are shown in the “Graphical User Interface (GUI)” section of this document.

The card configuration procedure using the GUI is similar to the Telnet procedure. However, when using the GUI the user should following steps.

1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable between your PC and CU1 (or any other copper port) of the card under configuration.

2. Power up the card (+24 VDC).

3. Run the 922-MES GUI and follow the steps below in sequential order: a. Add a new card configuration by clicking the top left corner “+” button (default factory diagnostics IP

address is 192.168.0.100). b. Click the “Connect” button. c. Click System Maintenance  Boot Config  Open Boot Config Editor. The “Model 922 Boot Config

Editor” window will appear.

d. Make the desired card configuration changes. E.g. SFP settings, MRP (if available), RSTP changes,

etc.

Note that in the “Model 922 Config Editor” window, changes made by the user will only take effect after

the “Save Configuration” button is pressed and after one subsequent power cycle.

To make experimental volatile changes (not saved in EEPROM) the “Ethernet Switch Settings” section

of the GUI should be used. e. Click the “Save Configuration” button to save the new card settings to EEPROM. f. Power-cycle one (1) time ONLY the card under configuration. g. Wait for GUI reconnection. h. Verify the card’s functionality and that the changes are as expected. i. A GUI message will appear asking the user to confirm if the changes are ok.

i. If the user accepts the changes then the card will keep the new user configuration.

ii. If the user ignores the changes and does not confirm the changes via the GUI then the card will

revert to the last known configuration on the next power-cycle.

4. Change the diagnostics IP address via Telnet (if required) following the steps shown in the previous section

4.2.1 step 4c.

5. Power cycle the card for the changes to take effect.

6. (Optional) Reconnect with the GUI and then re-open the “Model 922 Boot Config Editor” window and click “Export Configuration” to save a copy of the new user configuration to your local PC.

7. Done! The initial card configuration is completed.

5.0 Hardware

The 922-MES can be ordered using the card level part numbers shown in the table below. Refer to configuration drawing 922-2005-00 for more details.

Table 5-1: Card Ordering Part Numbers

The 922-5012-xx cards include a 922-0208-00 PCB assembly (PCBA) which is a standard 3U Eurocard form factor of 100 mm x 160 mm.

This PCBA is designed for interfacing with a custom backplane in a Eurocard sub-rack (card cage) or wiring harness using a 96-pin DIN 41612 connector. This connector provides the interface for power and eight (8) copper Ethernet ports. On the front of the PCBA are two (2) SFP ports and a factory diagnostics port. Key part locations are shown in section 6.1.

5.1 Card with Front Panel

Card P/N: 922-5012-98

This card includes a 4 HP front panel as shown in the figure below. This card will fit in a 4 HP wide slot (0.8 in or 20.32 mm) in a 3U Eurocard sub-rack. The front panel covers the front end of the PCBA and includes a handle to allow for ESD safe handling and installation via rack card guides. Front panel cutouts allow access to the SFP ports and a factory diagnostics port. This PCBA also includes a heat plate for improved conductive heat dissipation. The 922-5012-97 PCBA includes a code strip which is installed on the DIN connector and a 6HP front panel (1.2 in or 30.48 mm). Note that SFPs are not included in the card assembly.

Page 19

Model 922-MES – User Manual

5.2 Card with No Front Panel

Card P/N: 922-5012-99

This card does not include a front panel and is intended for bolt down installation on a metal plate, in which case a dedicated wiring harness is needed for connection to the DIN header. Top and front views of this card are shown in the figure below.

Figure 5-2: Model 922-MES PCBA with No Front Panel

5.3 General Board Handling

The 922-MES PCBA does not require forced air convective cooling. Generally heat from the card is conducted through the mounting hardware, such as metal standoffs, or via the front panel to rack connections. If the card is intended to be used for extended periods beyond +40 C ambient, other heat dissipation or heatsink options should be considered to extended product life. Contact the factory for more information.

Care must always be taken during the handling of PCBAs to ensure product integrity. The following guidelines should be adhered to in working with PCBAs:

 Always handle boards by the edges and do not touch any connector pins or other exposed interface

contacts.

 Handle boards at an ESD safe workstation with a clean surface. Maintain ESD precautions during

installation.

 Store each card in a separate, ESD protective package.  Do not flex boards during handling or when mounted. The mounting surface needs to be flat and even

such that the board is not flexed when bolted down.

 Do not cause unnecessary shock and vibration, such as dropping or rough handling of the boards.

6.8.3 Isolation and Grounding

A “chassis ground” is provided on the printed circuit board for EMC and ESD performance. It is accessible via

eight mounting holes, as shown in the figure below, and may be connected to a metal enclosure or mounting plate with appropriate conductive hardware. As the card is not intended for use with primary circuits or other hazardous voltages, the chassis node is a functional earthing point and is not intended as a protective earth (PE) terminal.

The two isolated mounting holes on the 96-pin DIN connector are intended solely for mechanical support. If required these two holes can be accessed by removing the existing connector mounting hardware. The five mounting holes “A” close to the DIN connector are normally used to hold a heat plate in place. If required these five holes can also be accessed by reconfiguring the heat plate hardware. Please consult the factory for recommendations.

Figure 6-6: Mounting Holes Locations

Reference (REF) lines are provided with each copper port and may be used as shield reference connections for shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. Typically, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling should be used, such as Cat 5e or better. If STP cabling is required, shields may need to be terminated and connected to the enclosure entry point. Note that the REF lines are connected to chassis through a parallel capacitor and 10 MΩ bleed resistor.

The 922-MES is intended for use with SELV rated power supplies and Ethernet Environment A, as defined by IEEE 802.3 section 27.5.3. Extension of copper Ethernet segments that cross Environment B boundaries may require additional isolation or use of the optical links for such connections. Note that the 24 VDC power lines VIN+ and VIN-, are isolated from chassis.

Model 922-MES – User Manual

Observe the bend radius of fiber optic cables at all times

When mounting, disassembling, or reassembling the cards, ensure that no fibers are subjected to bends in excess of those held by the natural routing of the fibers. The minimum bend radius of standard singlemode SMF-28e fibers should generally be no less than 25 mm, though single loops may be less than this – as low as 15 mm – without damaging the fibers. Keep in mind that allowable values are dependent on the type of fiber and the environment, and cable manufacturers typically specify the minimum bend radius. Avoid even temporary bends with a radius less than 15 mm, which may induce cracks that affect long-term reliability of the fibers. Use bend insensitive fibers where tight bends are expected during installation or operation.

Ensure fiber optic components are of the same type

All jumpers, cables, connectors, couplers, and Fiber Optic Rotary Joints (FORJs) used in the external optical system connecting the card must use the same type of fiber, i.e. all components in the fiber link should be singlemode. A single mismatched jumper in the system may cause intermittent or persistent optical link errors. Do not rely on cable jacket or connector colors alone to determine the type of optical fiber.

7.0 Optical Interface

7.1 Optical Transceivers and Wavelength

The Model 922-MES card communicates optically using one or two small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers per card. The device can be ordered with a wide selection of qualified SFPs, depending on the application distance, optical budget, and fiber count requirements. Depending on the SFPs selected, the card is able to function on one (1) to four (4) fibers. The MES supports SFPs with 100 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s optical data rates. In general, lower optical data rates have higher optical power budget and longer range.

Standard, API qualified, SFPs utilize two separate fibers, typically one transmitting in each direction at 1310 nm for shorter links (< 50 km), or 1550 nm for longer links, up to 200 km at 100 Mb/s.

Bidirectional SFPs, or “Bidis”, are available with integrated wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical components, providing bidirectional operation using two wavelengths on a single fiber (e.g. 1550/1490 nm or 1310/1550 nm). Bidi SFPs are typically limited to a range of 50 km.

SFP transceivers with CWDM wavelengths (1471 nm to 1611 nm) may be used to combine up to four sets of modems (i.e. 8 CWDM wavelengths) on the same fiber. CWDM systems require additional optical modules that may include power splitters, for redundancy, and/or CWDM couplers for combining or separating wavelengths. Optical modules are available from the factory in a variety of packaging options. Note that the combination of multiple wavelengths on a single fiber may cause the combined optical power levels to exceed Class I power limits.

Typical 1 Gb/s SFP options include a Bidi version (1550/1490 nm) with 50 km range and a CWDM version (1551 nm) with 100 km range. Contact the factory for qualified SFP options and for instructions on installation.

7.2 Optical Fiber

The card communicates using up to two SFP transceivers per card, which requires up to four fibers. The fiber must be singlemode, such as SMF-28e (9/125 μm) or equivalent. For links over 100 km, dispersion shifted singlemode fiber (SMF-DS), should be considered to minimize dispersion on the 1550 nm wavelength.

Bend-insensitive jumpers with reduced boot-lengths may be used to allow for fiber routing to the card within confined spaces, such as in subsea pressure housings. These jumpers are available from the factory or third party vendors. Regardless of the fiber types used, the following handling guidelines should be followed:

Focal Technologies Corporation Page 7-1

A Moog Inc. Company Document No. 922-0662-00, Rev 1.0

Page 28

Model 922-MES – User Manual

Active optical outputs should NEVER be viewed with a magnifying device of any kind (e.g. fiber microscope). Always turn off all transmitters before inspecting fibers, optical connectors, or optical bushings.

7.3 Optical Budget, Range, and Bit Error Rate (BER)

A variety of approved and tested SFP transceivers are available from Focal Technologies for maximum distances from 10 km to 200 km. The optical power budget is dependent upon the SFPs selected, but typically varies from 16 dB to 45 dB with an optical bit error rate (BER) of 1 x 10 of available, API qualified transceivers.

Optical receivers will experience errors if the received optical power is too low (i.e. below the receive sensitivity of the photo detector). Ensure the total optical losses of the components in the external cable system (jumpers, cables, connectors, couplers, etc.) are less than the specified optical power budget of the SFP combination used. For detailed measurements or trouble-shooting, a calibrated optical power meter is recommended.

Optical receivers can also saturate and experience errors if the received optical power is too high. This is more likely to occur (especially in a lab environment) when using high power transceivers. Use a 5 or 10 dB fixed attenuator in line with each fiber during bench tests or with short, low loss links to ensure a minimum level of attenuation is present. A variable optical attenuator (VOAT) can be used for simulating system losses or testing the maximum insertion loss supported. In some high power systems, receivers can actually be damaged by excessive optical power, so a fixed attenuator is recommended even when using a VOAT to ensure a minimum attenuation at all times.

Adding attenuators for bench testing simulates only the insertion loss of a field system. Dispersion effects are not simulated with attenuators and should be verified with spools of test fiber matching the length of the system being designed. Dispersion effects con incur a power penalty of 1-2 dB. Please contact the factory for assistance with optical system analysis and recommendations.

-12

. Contact the factory for the current list

7.4 Return Loss Tolerance

The optical system external to the card should have a minimum of 20 dB return loss. Excessive optical reflections may degrade optical budget and/or reduce transceiver lifetime.

For systems with bidirectional optical transmission on a single fiber, sufficient reflected optical power on one wavelength can interfere with received power on another wavelength and cause data errors. Return loss specifications for systems with WDM or CWDM couplers must be determined based on a more detailed analysis of the maximum link attenuation, optical levels, and filter characteristics, but typically 25-30 dB return loss is sufficient to ensure reflected optical power does not cause link errors.

7.5 Optical Power

All optical power levels are within Class I limits (eye-safe), however as general safe practice, fiber connectors should not be held close to the eye for inspection. Note that all of the SFP optical wavelengths used for Model 922 links are infrared and not visible, even at high power levels.

Page 29

Model 922-MES – User Manual

Optical Connectors Care:

It is critical to ensure all fiber connectors are clean and free of dirt and debris. Even a small amount of dirt or fluid contaminant may degrade link performance, and most reported optical link problems are due simply to poor or contaminated optical connections.

 Keep protective dust covers on fiber connectors and bushings when not in use.  Do not touch the white ceramic ferrules of the connectors with bare hands or objects other than

cleaning materials.

 Prior to making a fiber connection, clean the barrel and tip of the ferrule using a suitable solvent,

such as reagent grade isopropyl alcohol, and a lint-free optics cleaning tissue, such as Kimwipes® EX-L. Carefully dab any dirt or debris off the face of the ceramic ferrules. Excessive dirt may need to be cleared with pressurized air from a can prior to wiping the ferrule to avoid scratching the fiber itself. Do not used air from a compressor as it may be contaminated with oil.

 During mating or un-mating of fiber connectors with bushings, keep the connector aligned as

straight as possible. Avoid side loading the ceramic ferrule, which can crack the internal alignment sleeve in the bushing.

 Each fiber connector should be inspected with a handheld fiber microscope prior to final assembly

to ensure there are no scratches, pits, debris, or fluid contamination on the fiber face. Ensure connectors do not have any optical power present prior to inspection, e.g. with a handheld power meter.

8.0 Functionality

The Model 922-MES is a layer 2 managed Ethernet switch (MES) implemented in a fully reconfigurable FPGA-based platform, including DDR3 memory and two microcontrollers to enable many existing and future protocols, as well as application specific code.

The MES provides access to ten Ethernet ports capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps link speeds. Two of these ports can be equipped with small form factor (SFP) transceivers that support Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X).

Redundancy protocols supported by the MES include MRP (via two SFP ports) and RSTP (via eight copper ports). Additional redundancy protocols can be supported, e.g. HSR/PRP. Please contact the factory for availability.

Ethernet ports are configured manually or through autonegotiation for 10/100/1000M operation on copper ports and manually for 100/1000M for SFP ports. The card also provides support for advanced timing protocols, such as IEEE 1588v2 (PTP), which is critical for synchronization in many sensor applications.

A range of subsea-qualified, pluggable, fiber-optic transceivers enables many optical topologies, including dual fiber mode and bidirectional operation with up to 16 wavelengths on a single fiber using CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. Fiber umbilicals of up to 200 km length are supported.

The Model 922-MES GUI software (P/N 922-0408-00) provides advanced diagnostics via Modbus TCP for real-time health monitoring of the system as well as easy configuration of all interfaces and modes of operation. A proven RTOS (Real Time Operating System) and remote firmware upgrade feature increase system reliability while offering an upgrade path for future protocols or application specific requirements.

8.1 Network Settings and Accessibility

8.1.1 IP Address Configuration

Each 922-MES board is assigned with three unique MAC addresses during factory configuration. The MAC addresses are marked on the board, as shown in Figure 6-2, and recorded at the factory with cross-reference to serial number, and thereby customer order, should it ever need to be retrieved.

There are two IP addresses (diagnostics and factory-reserved) for the MES. The diagnostics IP can be assigned statically or dynamically using DHCP. Either mode can be enabled remotely using a virtual Telnet terminal over any Ethernet port, followed by powering cycling the board after the changes has been submitted to the card. The diagnostics IP address provides full diagnostics and control of the card and is served by a master microcontroller (uC DIAG). The factory-reserved IP address is intended for future use and is normally static and it is setup by the user on initial card configuration.

By factory default, the MES card obtains its diagnostics IP address using DHCP (i.e. dynamic IP allocation), configured with a 5 min. timeout. If the connecting network does not support DHCP to provide a dynamic IP within this time frame, the card will automatically revert to use its locally stored (static) IP address and network settings. Factory default network parameters are shown in Table 4-2.

8.1.2 IP Connectivity

The MES hosts the following simultaneous IP connections:

 Up to four Modbus TCP clients over any Ethernet port, including ‘remotely’ (i.e. from surface card)

via the optical ports. The Modbus TCP connection provides diagnostics information, which can be accessed using Modbus software (e.g. ModScan or sample 922-MES GUI).

 One Telnet over any Ethernet port, including ‘remotely’ via the optical ports. Typically used for initial

card configuration (e.g. redundant operation mode of and network settings), basic card diagnostics and link status information for copper and SFP ports.

8.2 Redundancy Configuration

The redundancy protocols supported by the 922-MES are presented in the following subsections.

8.2.1 Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)

The Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is one of the standard solutions for redundancy in networks with a ring topology. It is designed to react deterministically on a single failure of an inter-switch link or switch in the network, under the control of a dedicated media redundancy manager (MRM) node. Ring redundancy allows the implementation of high-availability ring-shaped network structures, and this protocol enables converting a line structure to a redundant ring structure.

The MRP defines a media redundancy manager (MRM) and media redundancy client (MRC). An MRP ring consists of one switch in MRM mode and one or more switches in MRC mode. The MRM sends MRP test frames in both directions of the ring. These test frames contain a special MAC address and are forwarded by the MRC switch(es) in the ring. The ring is detected as closed if the test frames arrive on both ends back to the MRM in certain period of time and in this case the MRM opens the ring by changing one of its port states to blocked and the other to forwarding. This blocked port only sends test and management MRP frames. Data frames are sent via the port that is in the forwarding state.

The MES supports the MRP protocol in the role of a media redundancy manager (MRM) or the role of a media redundancy client (MRC). Both protocols are implemented in the MES switch core at the MAC layer. Only the two SFP ports on the MES support the MRP protocol and when this function is enabled, these two ports are used as the ring ports. Note that by default the MES cards are shipped from the factory with MRP enabled in MRC mode which allows the use of the two SFP ports at the same time. When connecting two MES card ports via both SFP ports for redundancy purposes, ensure that one card is configured as MRM (typically the topside unit) and the other as MRC (typically the subsea unit).

During normal operation, the network is in a ring-closed state where an actual physical ring topology exists and one of the MRM ring ports is in a blocked state while the other is in a forwarding state (loop avoidance). The ring ports of the MRC (or MRCs) in this case would be in a forwarding state. A ring-opened state is entered when a segment of the ring has a failure and, for example if the failure is between two MRCs, then both ring ports of the MRM would enter a forwarding state. In both ring-closed and ring-opened states the network logical topology is a stub.

In MRM mode the card performs the following functions:

 Controls the ring state by sending MRP test frames at a configured time period in both directions of the

ring.

 Sets one ring port to forwarding state and the other port to blocked state if it receives its own MRP

test frames.

 Sets both ports to forwarding if it does not receive its own MRP test frames on both ring ports within a

configured time.

 Transmits MRP topology change frames to indicate changes in the ring state to the MRCs.  The ring ports take one of the following port states:

Blocked: Ring ports drop all received frames except MRP control frames. Forwarding: Ring ports forward all received frames.

In MRC mode the card performs the following functions:

 Detects a failure or recovery of a ring port link and notifies the change via both ring ports.  Processes the topology change frames and clears its filtering data base (FDB) if requested in a given

MRP time interval.

 Forwards MRP frames such as: test, topology change, link change, in-test, in-link change, in-topology

change and in-link status poll between its ring ports only.

 The ring ports take one of the following port states:

Blocked: Ring ports drop all received frames except MRP control frames. Forwarding: Ring ports forward all received frames.

The following are some prerequisites for proper MRP operation:

 There is only one ring manager in the ring  All ring participants support MRP  Ring participants are connected to each other via the ring ports  All ring participants support the configuration time specified by the manager

8.2.2 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that enables loop-free switching via the systematic deactivation of redundant connections. STP allows the inclusion of redundant (spare) links to provide an automatic backup path if an active link fails.

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) uses the same algorithm as STP for determining the tree structure. RSTP mainly changes and adds new parameters to speed up the reconfiguration process if a link or bridge (switch) becomes non-functional.

The 922-MES default core FW 922-1008-50 supports the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) on all eight (8) copper ports (CU1 – CU8) while also supporting MRP on SFP1-2. MES core FW 922-1008-55 supports RSTP on all ports (SFP1-2 and CU1-8) and does not provide MRP functionality on the SFP1-2 ports. The RSTP features included in the MES are:

 Very low latency Ethernet packet switching due to hardware-based frame handling.  Hardware-based frame reception, frame filtering based on MAC table, port state and filtering database

and frame transmission.

 RSTP algorithm running via embedded software implementation and direct communication to hardware

of state changes (discarding, learning or forwarding)

By default all CU1-8 copper ports on the MES have RSTP enabled. If the RSTP function is not required, this can be changed via the Telnet interface (refer to the Telnet Commands section of this document for more details) or via the 922 MES GUI (only available with cards with uC DIAG FW 922-1008-00 ≥ 0xA4).

RSTP global enable/disable function for all ports is available in all MES core firmware versions. RSTP per-port ON/OFF functionality saved in EEPROM is available in core FW 922-1008-50 ≥ 0xA4 and FW 922-1008-55 ≥ 0xA1.

8.2.3 HSR/PRP

The 922-MES card could be upgraded to support additional redundancy protocols such as High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) or Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP). Both of these protocols allow interruption-free redundancy. Contact factory for details.

8.3 MES Core Features

The MES core support various Ethernet switch features including:

 Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)  Priority  Broadcast Storm Protection  Port Mirroring  Aging  Static MAC Table

8.4 System Features

The 922-MES has several special system features to support subsea applications:

 Robust remote firmware upgrade with permanent factory code backup  Saving user switch configurations  DHCP enabled/disabled with timeouts  Software reset  Watchdog reset  Automatic user switch configuration loading  Configurable UDP heartbeat with critical card status  Multiple Modbus clients  Validation of IP configuration changes

8.4.1 Remote Firmware Upgrade

The 922-MES card allows users to update the application firmware for the diagnostics microcontroller (uC DIAG) over a TCP/IP interface using a proprietary protocol with multiple verification stages. Focal provides the necessary software and instructions for performing infield firmware upgrades.

After the Firmware update of the uC DIAG is completed, the card will automatically reset several times before finalizing the update. In case of a failure during a firmware update, the card will automatically load the factory default application firmware.

Future firmware updates to the diagnostics microcontroller enable the possibility of upgrading and adding special features to the FPGA-based MES Ethernet switch core to meet future market and customer needs using the same hardware platform.

8.4.2 Saving User Switch Configuration

The card allows the users to load and save Ethernet switch configurations from/into an EEPROM. The current Ethernet switch configuration can be saved to the EEPROM via a Telnet and/or Modbus TCP/IP

interface. The user can also revert back to the factory default Ethernet switch settings using the Telnet interface.

8.4.3 DHCP Enable/Disable

The 922-MES diagnostics microcontroller (uC DIAG) can obtain its IP address by using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature can be enabled or disabled through the Telnet interface.

If this feature is enabled, then on power up the card sends a DHCP query and waits up to the duration of the DHCP timeout for a valid response. On receipt of a valid response from a DHCP server, the address specified by the DHCP response is used as the IP address.

If the card fails to receive a valid DHCP response within the configured timeout period, then the static IP address saved in the EEPROM is used as the IP address. If the EEPROM access were to fail, the card uses the address

192.168.0.100 as its IP address. Note that by default the DHCP functionality is enabled and the DHCP timeout is 5 minutes (for cards w/ uC DIAG FW 0xA4).

DHCP is enabled by sending one of the following commands through the Telnet interface, “dhcp on short” or “dhcp on long” or “dhcp on [time in min from 1 to 10]”. These commands will enable DHCP with a timeout of 1 min, 5 min or 1-10 min respectively. DHCP is disabled by sending “dhcp off”.

Note: Cards with older uC DIAG FW (i.e. <0xA4) P/N 922-1008-01 have DHCP enabled by default with a timeout of 1 minute and do not support the user-defined timeout range of 1 to 10 min. The only options available in the older FW versions are 1 or 2 minutes or off.

Focal Technologies Corporation Page 8-5

A Moog Inc. Company Document No. 922-0662-00, Rev 1.0

Page 35

Model 922-MES – User Manual

Note that the user has to make sure that they save a valid switch configuration in the EEPROM. Failure to do so may result in loss of connectivity to the card.

8.4.4 Software Reset

The MES card supports soft resets to the diagnostics microcontroller (uC DIAG) and to the MES switch core for a full system reset. These soft resets can be applied to the card via Telnet commands.

A uC DIAG soft reset will re-initialize the diagnostics microcontroller interface and peripherals. An MES switch core soft reset will reset the MES switch. This system reset will re-initialize the MES operating

system and switch fabric and will also re-load the last saved EEPROM configuration. The system reset will cause an Ethernet link disconnection on all ports of the MES and start a standard boot up sequence that lasts about

1.5 min.

Notes:

1. Any software changes made to the MES not saved in EEPROM will revert back to the last saved state.

2. In the current diagnostics firmware version, an MES switch core reset (Telnet command: bp reboot) must be followed by a uC DIAG soft reset (Telnet command: reset) 5 sec. (min.) to 10 sec. (max.) later. Missing this time window will require a power cycle to the card to re-connect to diagnostics.

8.4.5 Watchdog Reset

The card has a built in watchdog timers which are used to trigger a uC DIAG watchdog reset in case of a diagnostics lock up or to trigger a watchdog reset in case of an MES switch core operating system lock up.

Note: The exact timing parameters of the watchdog reset are beyond the scope of this document.

8.4.6 Automatic User Switch Configuration Loading

The card automatically loads its configuration from EEPROM. The EEPROM is configured at the factory for full switching functionality. The user can modify most of the factory pre-defined values to accommodate specific requirements and network topologies.

The initial user configuration of the card can be done via the Telnet interface or via the sample GUI, and changes can be saved into the EEPROM such that on power up the MES switch core can load its configuration as defined by the user.

MES cards with uC DIAG firmware 922-1008-00 version ≥ 0xA3

Cards with diagnostics firmware version ≥0xA3 support saving card configuration changes to EEPROM via the Telnet interface and also via Modbus. EEPROM changes made via Modbus require user confirmation after a power cycle to take permanent effect, without user confirmation the card will return to the previous state after a second power cycle. This behavior allows the user a second chance to confirm the full switch functionality of the card before making them permanent and also allows the user to go back to a previous switch configuration state.

Extended User Switch Configuration

In cases where additional switch settings are needed, the diagnostics microcontroller (uC DIAG) allows the end-user to automatically load extended switch and system configuration options from EEPROM. This

functionality can be enabled or disabled through the Telnet interface by sending a “scfg on” or “scfg off”

command. If this feature is enabled, then on power-up and after the uC DIAG is running and after the basic switch configuration is loaded, the card will load the extended switch configuration from the EEPROM after ~40 seconds. By default this option is disabled.

8.4.7 UDP Heartbeat Packet

The 922-MES card will continuously transmit a broadcast heartbeat User Datagram Packet (UDP) from uC DIAG with diagnostics information after power-up and card initialization is completed. The data is printed out as comma separated text (ASCII) and a network capture utility (e.g. Wireshark) can be used to capture this data. The UDP heartbeat can be used, for example, to identify cards in cases where the IP information has been lost.

The card can output the UDP heartbeat in two different packet lengths: short (normal) and long (extended). Both the short and long UDP packet contains the following diagnostics information:

 On-board sensors (board temperature, humidity, ON time counter, OFF event counter)  uC DIAG data

o Network settings and configuration (IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS, DHCP) o Analog data (on-board 5V voltage rail and board current) o Board serial information (including serial number, date code, FW version, MAC address)

The long UDP packet includes all the information from the short packet plus the following diagnostics information:

 Link status of copper ports CU1-CU8 and SFP1-SFP2.  Device error codes

By default the UDP heartbeat feature is enabled and the card transmits the short UDP packet every five (5) seconds. This interval can be adjusted to any value between 1 and 253 seconds through Telnet.

The table below shows an example of the diagnostics information contained in each type of UDP packet. The heartbeat packet type can be changed through Telnet by sending the command “hcfg long” for extended packets or “hcfg short” for short packets.

Model 922-MES – User Manual

8.4.8 Multiple Modbus Clients

The MES card provides support for up to four Modbus clients. This feature allows the user to establish more than one Modbus TCP/IP connection to the same card. When more than one connection is established to the card, some packet collisions and re-transmission are expected. In general, when using multiple TCP connections to the same card, it is recommended to set the Modbus poll rate to a value greater than 1 second.

8.4.9 IP Settings for Diagnostics (uC DIAG)

The MES card includes an IP validation feature in the Telnet interface. This feature checks for a valid IP and

subnet combination. If an invalid IP Address is entered using the “set ip” command, the Telnet interface will

show the user the valid range of IP addresses within the current subnet. Additionally, subnet validation will ensure that the user is providing a valid subnet when using the “set subnet” command. Examples of an invalid IP entry, a valid IP entry and an invalid subnet entry can be seen in the following figures.

IP validation also occurs during the startup procedure. If on startup an invalid IP address or subnet is read from the EEPROM, these parameters will be set to the factory defaults.

9.0 Diagnostics and Control

Remotely accessible, real-time diagnostic data and status information is available from the 922-MES. This information can be used for real-time health monitoring and long-term trending of critical parameters for predictive analysis.

Ethernet Diagnostics (Modbus TCP/IP and Telnet): The Ethernet interface provides full diagnostics and control of the card. Diagnostics and status information are retrievable using Modbus TCP/IP and/or Telnet over any Ethernet port (copper or SFP).

Configuration options include:

 Ethernet port control registers (e.g. forcing speed/duplex, rate limiting, aging, broadcast protection,

port priority, virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration, etc.)

 Field update of embedded firmware, and user-controlled switching between stored firmware versions.

Factory Serial Diagnostics (RS-232): The RS-232 serial interface provides basic read-only diagnostics information via a non-isolated interface (J3). It is intended for factory bench testing and debugging purposes only. See section 6.6 for details.

Diagnostics information and control provided by the card is shown in the table below.

9.1 Modbus TCP/IP

The Modbus TCP protocol is used to provide diagnostics and user control messages via a TCP/IP connection to the 922-MES. Local card status and control registers are accessible via Modbus TCP/IP from the topside or other subsea equipment over any Ethernet port.

Diagnostic information available is shown in Table 9-1. The Modbus TCP register map is provided in the “MES

Diagnostics Protocol Manual” document 922-0673-02.

9.2 Telnet Interface

The 922-MES card implements a Telnet server on port 23. The server can be accessed from a PC-based Telnet client such as Microsoft Telnet ClientTM or Tera Term by entering the card’s IP address. Once a connection has been established, the Telnet interface displays a home screen containing a list of the available commands and also detailed help on using each command.

Typically the Telnet interface is used for convenient configuration of the card. The commands available in the Telnet interface are shown in the figure below. Detailed help for each command is available from the Telnet menu by sending the “help” command. A description of all commands is provided in document 922-0673-02.
