DESCRIPTION

I/O Configurations

DESCRIPTION
The OP4200 is part of the OPAL-RT line of simulation systems. It contains a SoC (system on chip) integrating an ARM CPU and a Kintex™-7 FPGA, a high-end FPGA, signal conditioning for up to 128 I/O lines and 2 high-speed fiber-optic SFP ports. The design provides four slots for signal conditioning cassettes.

FEATURES

• 16GB SD card.
• 1024MB DDR3L SDRAM.
• Xilinx Zynq®XC7Z030 all programmable SoC device with Dual-core ARM® Processor Cortex A9 1GHz, Kintex™-7 FPGA, 125K LUT.
• Linux-based real-time operating system.
• 4 cassettes for analog or digital I/O interfaces
• 2 high-speed communication ports
• Communication options: 2 CAN, 2 RS232, 1 Ethernet
I/O CONFIGURATIONS
The OP4200 simulator provides signal conditioning for up to 128 I/Os, which are managed from the PL (FPGA) section of the Zynq module.
The I/O lines are routed from the Zynq board to the 4 cassettes, through the OP4200’s carrier board.
The swappable cassettes provide signal conditioning flexibility. They are factory configured and their configuration information is processed by the system at boot time for initialization (I/O line direction, analog module calibration coefficients, etc.). During initialization, the boot system validates that the cassette type and position matches the I/O configuration used in the model.

DESCRIPTION

System Interconnection Details

SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION DETAILS
Two SFP sockets are located on the left side if the chassis to allow interconnexion with 3rd-party devices or with other OPAL-RT chassis. These sockets are connected to the PL section of the Zynq module and configured by the FPGA programming file (generated using OPAL-RT RT-XSG toolbox).
There are two standard modes of operation available for the SFP ports, both based on the Xilinx Aurora communication protocol:
• Generic Aurora communication: this mode is enabled using the RT-XSG blockset’s Generic Aurora blocks in the FPGA programming file’s Simulink model. These blocks are used to exchange data with 3rd-party devices or with other OPAL-RT systems The data communication layer (data packing/unpacking) must be configured by the user according to the targeted application. The communication speed is configurable between 1 and 5 GBps and the SFP transceivers should be selected accordingly.
• OPAL-RT MUlti-System Expansion link (MUSE) a network protocol designed by OPAL-RT for inter-system communication. The communication speed is set to 5Gbps by default, but downgrades automatically to the speed of the other port, if that port is used at a lower speed for 3rd party device connection.
The MUSE mode is selected in the RT-XSG block by setting the synthesis manager architecture option to <remote>. In this mode, the unit must be connected to another OPAL-RT system that is connected in ‘central’ mode, and it then becomes a remote expansion unit (similar to an OP4520 or OP5607). The simulator ARM CPUs are then used only for monitoring the unit, and not during the real-time simulation.

1 Restrictions to using MUSE with OPAL-RT Board software architecture may apply depending on your application and software configuration. Please contact your sales representative or field application engineer to verify compatibility

General Cabling Instructions

Connecting the Ground Screw

If you are working on high risk tests or in a high risk environment, you should connect a grounding cable from the OP4200 ground screw to ensure that it terminates securely in a ground. Proper grounding will help to prevent electric shocks, protect the OP4200 from voltage spikes (from a variety of causes, including lightning strikes), and provide increased immunity from EMI by lowering noise levels and emissions.
• Select a flat braided grounding strap of adequate length (as short as possible provides best protection), with ring terminals on each end.
• Attach one ring terminal to the ground screw on the OP4200 (shown in Figure 4).
• Attach the other ring terminal to the nearest ground source using a nut and lockwasher.
Figure 4: Connecting the OP4200 to the ground

Connecting Network Cable

Before connecting your OP4200 to your network, verify the IP address with your IT department. You may need to change the simulator IP address to correspond to available
addresses on your network. See
The OP4200 simulator offers quick, single-ended connections, through RJ45. The network cable must only be connected to the standard network jack. DO NOT plug the network cable into any jack other than the jack intended for that purpose.

Initial Setup

Changing the IP Address

The OP4200 pre-configured with an IP address (an identifying label will be attached to the unit), but it may conflict with your network insfrastructure; you may need to change the IP address for your OP4200. The best way to do this is to directly connect your OP4200 to your host computer (laptop, etc.). (Be sure to contact your IT department to obtain a valid IP address from them).
Before you begin, make sure your computer has a serial terminal program installed; you will need it to access the “OP4200 Recovery” application. If there is no serial terminal installed, you must install one (such as MobaXterm) to access the OP4200 configuration application.
The RS232 cable enables users to connect the OP4200 to a PC to access the IP address modification interface. It also allows users to perform various troubleshooting or reflashing activities.

OP4240-1 16 ANALOG INPUTS

OP4240-1 16 ANALOG INPUTS

FEATURES

• 16 differential analog input channels
• All inputs are sampled simultaneously for additional simulation accuracy. They can be sampled up to 400 KS/s
• 16 bit resolution
• ±20V input range

DESCRIPTION

The OP4240-1-1 module provides 16 differential analog input channels. Each channel uses a 16-bit resolution analog-to-digital converter. By default, the maximum input signal is set to ±20 volts.

SCHEMATICS

Figure 3 represents a simplified schematic of one channel of the OP4240-1 modules. It is composed of three stages: the first stage consists of one operational amplifier that works in differential input mode and permits gain adjustment; the second stage, the level shifter, forms the signal for the A/D converter input; the third stage occurs after the conversion to the digital type, as the signal is sent to the carrier board.

Recommendations
Users should adjust the power supply level (through the DB37 connector) to get the proper high voltage level at the DOUT.
Use a proper damping circuit, (a serial resistor capacitor circuit tied to the GND as close as possible to the user Device Under Test) to minimize ringing and over/undershoot according to the connection length (from OP4260-1 to user device).
The following parameters are a good starting point for the RC values: R=150Ω , C = 100pF. Tuning is necessary, according to application parameters.
