System consid

Using identical sync

erations

sources

It is recommended that the primary and backup sync sources be identically conﬁgured. If the two sync source generators have signiﬁcantly different conﬁguratio power.

To underst sync sources, the sync signals will fail as the power supples on the generators turn off. If the signal output from one of the sync generators is maintained longer, then the ECO8000 Series may detect one input as good and the other as bad and switch to the “good” sync source.

This might happen if the backup sync generator has only a few black outputs, but the primary sync generator has many blacks, audio and SDI signal outputs. The difference in the number of outputs loading the power supplies will make the pri detect the primary source as failed while the backup is still working, resulting in a source switch.

The ECO8000 Series detects the loss of AC power and inhibits source switching to mitigate this issue. However, it can still occur in extreme cases. If it is necessary to have differently conﬁgured sync generators on the primary and backup inputs, it is recommended that you thoroughly test the loss of power condition during the system qualiﬁcation testing.

ns, it may cause a source switch when both of the sync sources lose

and this, consider the following scenario. If power is cut to both of the

mary sync generator turn off faster. This causes the ECO8000 Series to

Usi

to gang two ECOs

Testing the backup source

The ECO8000 Series has the ability to connect two instruments so that they function as a single larger switch. This function is useful in situations where more channels are needed than can be supported using only one instrument. One

nstrument operates as a master unit and the other as a slave unit.

A slave unit may change state if the master unit is changed from master to

isabled or if the interconnection cable is removed. It is recommended that

d you conﬁgure the master and slave units during system setup and that you not change the conﬁguration while the instrument is in operation. To help enforce this recommendation, the ECO8000 Series must b e in Manual mode before you can change the state of the expansion port. (See page 35, Conﬁgure the Expansion port.)

Tektronix recommends that you test the backup sync source every 6 months. The ECO8000 Series keeps track of the last time the source was changed from primary to backup and visa-versa. If it has been more that 6 months since a source switch, then an event will be entered in the Event Log. You can also conﬁgure any of the reporting methods (SNMP trap, e-mail, GPI signal, instrument beeper) to generate an output when the backup test is due. (See page 83, EVENT submenus.)

Channel type connection guidelines. When connecting signals to the instrument, use the following guidelines:

Use REF (ELSW) channels to connect non-SDI signals

Use HREF (Relay) channels to connect SDI signals

You can connect non-SDI signals to HREF (Relay) channels. However, there will be a sync interruption when p rimary/backup source switches occur.

Recommended tools. The ECO8020 uses HD BNC connectors. Due to the tight spacing between co nnectors, it is recommended that you use a HD BNC installation/removal tool to connect or disconnect cables on these connectors. Listed below is one source where you can obtain this tool.

Figure 5: ECO8000 Series subsystems (ECO8020 with Option DPW shown)

verview

The ECO8000 Series has three main subsystems:

Channel Control system

Conﬁguration and Monitoring system

Redundant Power system

These thre main ECO function, which is sensing faults on the input signals and switching to a backup if necessary.

e subsystems are loosely coupled to assume maximum reliability of the

Channel Control system

The Channel Control system monitors the level on each input, and switches to the other sync source if a fault occurs. This subsystem is implemented as a simple hardware state machine to maximize reliability. This portion of the instrument is accessed via the left keyboard, and the status is displayed on the button lights and the per-channel LEDs on the front panel.

If the instrument is in AUTO mode, then the Channel Control system locks out any changes from the other subsystems. This prevents most issues in the other

bsystems from impacting the basic operation of the ECO.

When the instrument powers on, the Channel Control system restores all basic

onﬁguration settings that were in place when the instrument was powered off.

c This restoration is independent of the processor booting to run the display and the Conﬁguration and Monitoring system. If the Conﬁguration and Monitoring system is rebooted, the Channel Control system is unaffected.

If the instrument loses power, the REF/ELSW channels will automatically switch from electronic to relay mode to maintain the signal throughput. These channels will automatically switch back to electronic mode when power is restored. When the REF/ELSW channels switch from electronic mode to relay mode and back, the sync on these channels will experience a momentary glitch.

The Redundant Power system monitors each Power Supply module (Option DPW provides a second, backup supply) and switches to the backup if the preferred supply has a problem. This subsystem is independent of the other two systems. The Conﬁguration and Monitoring system can set some parameters in the Redundant Power system and display its status.

The channel conﬁguration for the ECO is done in MANUAL mode. When the system is fully conﬁgured, and all channels in use show green status LEDs and good signal margin, switch the instrument to AUTO mode. When the instrument is in AUTO mode, the channel conﬁguration is disabled and the system will react to input signal faults. In AUTO mode, monitoring can be done locally via the LCD or remotely via the Web Interface with no risk of accidental changes that would impact the basic ECO operation.

states

When the instru

ment is running, the power supply LEDs indicate the status of the supplies, including the internal fans and which of the supplies is currently powering the instrument.

If the instrument loses power from both supplies, the LEDs continue to provide status to help troubleshoot the root of the problem. In this mode, the LEDs ﬂash to conserve the power in the storage capacitor. Typically the LED ﬂashing should last for 10 minutes after the loss of power.

If both of the supplies are good, the system will use the supply that is conﬁgured to be the preferred (active) supply. If one power supply has a p roblem, the system will switch to the other supply. If either supply c an support the instrument load, even if it

has a non-fatal problem, the system will choose the best supply and

attempt to continue to operate.

input

The SPG trigger Tektronix SPG8000 and TG8000 generators to trigger a source changeover on the ECO8000 Series unit. For example, if the genlock on the primary SPG8000 generator loses lock, then that SPG8000 can signal the ECO8000 Series unit to switch to the backup source. Since the SPG8000 and TG8000 generators have comprehensive internal monitoring capability, this allows the overall system to react to mor problems.

To us e this must be connected to the LTC/SPG conectors on the ECO8000 Series. If the sync generator is a Tektronix SPG8000, or a TG8000 with a GPS7 installed, the connections can be done using a 15-pin HD DSUB cable. For other sync generators, a custom wiring harness may be required. See SPG trigger cable connections below.

The primary and backup SPG8000 or TG8000 generators need to have the GPI1 output programmed to assert on the combination of events which are intended to cause a Fault,” “Near Loss of Lock,” and “Lock Error” with a 10 second delay. With these settings, the SPG will detect these conditions, assert GPI1, and then the ECO will detect that SPG Trigger input and trigger a changeover.

CAUTION. If the primary and backup SPG8000 generators use a common

To enable the Expansion port function, you need to conﬁgure one ECO as the master unit and the other ECO as the slave unit using the SYSTEM CONFIG menu. (See page 68.) Both instruments must be connected together via the rear-panel EXPANSION port connectors using a standard Ethernet RJ-45 cable.

Once the two instruments are conﬁgured as Master and Slave and are connected together, the left-hand buttons (Channel Control system) on the Master unit will control both instruments and the left-hand buttons on the Slave unit will be disabled units will operate normally. This allows the conﬁguration for each ECO to be set independently either via the front panel or the Web Interface.

If the Expansion port connection between two instruments is disconnected, the Slave unit will revert to Master mode so that it will operate independently.

CAUTION. A slave unit may change state if the master unit is changed from master

to disabled or if the interconnection cable is removed.

It is recommended that you conﬁgure the master and s lave units during system setup operation. To help enforce this recommendation, the ECO8000 Series must be in Manual mode before you can change the state of the expansion port.

Likewise, if a fault occurs on a slave unit signal, only the GPI output on the slave unit will be activated.

If you want to have a common GPI output for the connected instruments, the two GPI signals can be connected together. The GPI outputs are open with a

The standard instrument has one Power Supply module installed. With Option DPW, a second hot-swappable, redundant (backup) Power Supply module is provided. Wh module is conﬁgured as the primary supply and the other is conﬁgured as the backup supply.

In the event that the primary supply fails, the backup supply automatically provides power to maintain instrument operation. You can remove and replace a failed supply without having to remove the instrument from operation. (See page 39, To hot-swap a Power Supply module.)

If you need to remove one of the two supplies for repair and you do not have a replacement supply available, be sure to install a blank power supply cover into the empty power supply slot (Tektronix part number 333-4724-XX).

The status of the Power Supply modules can be viewed from the front of the instrument. On the front panel, the AC and DC indicators illuminate using v arious colors to show the status of the Power Supply modules. (See page 25, Power

TWH calculation method. When the outside air temperature is at 25 °C or cooler, the Power Supply module is expected to last 15 years. As the outside air temperature rises to the maximum operating temperature of 50 °C, the expected life of the supply decreases to 5 years. Every hour, the instrument measures the supply temperature and increments the temperature weighted hours count in response to the measured tempera ture.

When the TWH value reaches a value of 131,400 hours, then an e ntry will be made in the Event Log and notiﬁcations will be sent using the enabled reporting methods (SNMP trap, e-mail, GPI signal, instrument beeper).

NOTE. When two Power Supply modules are installed, the active supply runs

warmer than the backup supply. Therefore, the TWH of the active supply will increase faster than the backup supply.

When two Power S as the primary supply and the other is conﬁgured as the backup supply. In the event that the primary supply fails, the backup supply automatically provides power to maintain instrument operation.

NOTE. The preferred supply conﬁguration only applies if two Power Supply

modules are installed and both of the supplies are connected to a power source. If there are failure, the good supply will be used to power the instrument regardless of the preferred supply conﬁguration.

The recommended usage strategy is to conﬁgure one supply as preferred, and use the second supply only in case the ﬁrst supply has a failure. This usage strategy allows the backup supply to have the maximum remaining life when it is needed.

The preferred supply conﬁguration is not set as part of the Hardware Initialization function. Therefore, the preferred supply conﬁguration will not change when you reset the instrument using the Hardware Initialization function.
