In Y-mode mode an ODW-730 network will behave as a 2-wire bus. I.e. all communication devices will “hear” the data sent out by other communication devices.
Prepare the fibre optical network
• Configure all ODW-730 units for the correct speed and data format using DIPswitches S1:1 – S1:7.
• Select RS-485 2 wire and 4-wire mode using DIP-switch S2:1 (OFF = 2-wire,
ON = 4-wire).
• Enable the RS-485 termination / fail-safe if required using DIP-switches S3:1 – S3:4
(S3:1 and S3:2 = 4-wire termination, S3:3 and S3:4 = 2-wire termination).
• The first and last ODW-730 units must be configured as Multidrop end units by setting DIP-switch S2:3 to the ON position. (End units only have one fibre pair each and
must know that this is a fact)
• Set DIP-switch and S2:6 as desired. See page 34 “Status port” for more information.
• Verify that DIP-switches S1:8, S2:2, S2:4, S2:5 and S2:8 are set in the OFF position.
• Connect the fibre pairs between the units. Always connect CH 1 from one unit to CH
2 on the next unit as shown in the picture above.
• Connect the power supply to all units and verify that all fibre links become active.
(CH 1 and CH 2 LED’s are on, FL L and FL R LED’s are off).
• Connect the communication devices to the corresponding ODW-730 unit.
• The network is now up and running.
Note: In an ODW-730 fibre optic network there will be some additional processing
delays that do not exist in an electrical bus. It is possible that the application must be
adjusted to accommodate these delays if using many ODW-730 units in a large network.
See page 32 “Calculating system processing delay” for more information on how to
determine the overall system delay time.

In dual channel mode it is possible to use two separate data streams in a single ODW730 network. However, all ODW-730’s must be set to the same speed and data format.

Redundant ring, Y-mode configuration
In a redundant ring an extra fibre pair is used. This extra fibre pair is used to carry data
if one of the other fibre pairs breaks. In Y-mode mode an ODW-730 network will behave
as a 2-wire bus. I.e. all communication devices will “hear” the data sent out by other
communication devices.

(S3:1 and S3:2 = 4-wire termination, S3:3 and S3:4 = 2-wire termination)
• Set DIP-switch S2:2 in the ON position (redundant ring) on all ODW-730 units.
• One, and only one, of the ODW-730 units must be configured as a Ring Focal Point by
setting DIP-switch S2:3 to the ON position. (The Ring Focal Point acts as a logical end
point in the optical fibre ring, thus forming a bus type of structure)
• Set DIP-switch S2:6 as desired. See page 34 “Status port” for more information.
• Verify that DIP-switches S1:8, S2:4, S2:5 and S2:8 are set in the OFF position.
• Connect the fibre pairs between the units. Always connect CH 1 from one unit to CH
2 on the next unit as shown in the picture above.
• Connect the power supply to all units and verify that all fibre links become active.
(CH 1 and CH 2 LED’s are on, FL L and FL R LED’s are off).
• Connect the communication devices to the corresponding ODW-730 unit.
• The network is now up and running.
Note: In an ODW-730 fibre optic network there will be some additional processing
delays that do not exist in an electrical bus. It is possible that the application must be
adjusted to accommodate these delays if using many ODW-730 units in a large network.

Data from comminication device 1 is received at the ODW-730 RS-485 port (as indicated by the TD LED), data bits are retimed according to the preset rate and sent out
on the optical fibre TX1. The next ODW-730 unit receives data at optical fibre RX2 (as
indicated by the RD LED), and data is sent out on the RS-485 port. Data is also repeated
out on TX1 on to the next ODW-730 unit.
Data from some other communication device, for example device 3, is processed in the
same way and sent out on both optical fibres TX1 and TX2. Notice that the Ring Focal
point never repeats incoming data.

Redundant ring, V-mode configuration
In a redundant ring an extra fibre pair is used. This extra fibre pair is used to carry data
if one of the other fibre pairs breaks. In V-mode mode an ODW-730 network will behave
as a 4-wire bus. Where the first ODW-730 (leftmost in the picture below) will able to
communicate in full duplex with any other unit, but other units are incapable of communicating with each other.
Prepare the fibre optical network
• Configure all ODW-730 units for the correct speed and data format using DIPswitches S1:1 – S1:7.
• Select RS-485 2 wire and 4-wire mode using DIP-switch S2:1 (OFF = 2-wire,
ON = 4-wire).
• Enable the RS-485 termination / fail-safe if required using DIP-switches S3:1 – S3:4
(S3:1 and S3:2 = 4-wire termination, S3:3 and S3:4 = 2-wire termination)
• Set DIP-switch S1:8 in the ON position (V-mode) on all ODW-730 units.
• Set DIP-switch S2:2 in the ON position (redundant ring) on all ODW-730 units.
• One, and only one, of the ODW-730 units must be configured as a Ring Focal Point by
setting DIP-switch S2:3 to the ON position. (The Ring Focal Point acts as a logical end
point in the optical fibre ring, thus forming a bus type of structure)
• Set DIP-switch S2:6 as desired. See page 34 “Status port” for more information.
• Verify that DIP-switches S2:4, S2:5 and S2:8 are set in the OFF position.
• Connect the fibre pairs between the units. Always connect CH 1 from one unit to
CH 2 on the next unit as shown in the picture above.
• Connect the power supply to all units and verify that all fibre links become active.
(CH 1 and CH 2 LED’s are on, FL L and FL R LED’s are off).
• Connect the communication devices to the corresponding ODW-730 unit.
• The network is now up and running.
Note: In an ODW-730 fibre optic network there will be some additional processing
delays that do not exist in an electrical bus. It is possible that the application must be

Data from some other communication device, for example device 3, is processed in the
same way and sent out on optical fibre TX2. Intermediate ODW-730 units will receive
this data at optical fibre RX1 and repeat it out on optical fibre TX2. But, intermediate units will not send any data received at RX1 on to the RS-485 port. Only the first
ODW-730 (leftmost in the picture above) will have incomming data from optical fibre
RX1 sent out on the RS-485 port.
I.e. the first ODW-730 is able to communicate in full duplex with any other unit, but
other units are incable of communicating with each other.

Redundant fibre pair. Not used under normal operation.
In a redundant ring an extra fibre pair is used. This extra fibre pair is used to carry data if
one of the other fibre pairs breaks.
In dual channel mode it is possible to use two separate data streams in a single ODW730 network. However, all ODW-730’s must be set to the same speed and data format.
This, of course, limits the number of possible applications for a dual channel network.
In Y-mode mode an ODW-730 network will behave as a 2-wire bus. I.e. all communication devices will “hear” the data sent out by other communication devices.
Prepare the fibre optical network
• Configure all ODW-730 units for the correct speed and data format using DIPswitches S1:1 – S1:7. Again, notice that all ODW-730’s must be set to the same speed
and data format.
• Select RS-485 2 wire and 4-wire mode using DIP-switch S2:1 (OFF = 2-wire,
ON = 4-wire).
• Enable the RS-485 termination / fail-safe if required using DIP-switches S3:1 – S3:4
(S3:1 and S3:2 = 4-wire termination, S3:3 and S3:4 = 2-wire termination)
• Set DIP-switch S2:2 in the ON position (redundant ring) on all ODW-730 units.
• Set DIP-switch S2:5 in the ON position (dual channel system) on all ODW-730 units.
• All ODW-730 units that are to use the primary data channel (“blue” units in the
picture above) must have DIP-switch S2:4 set to the OFF position. Units that are to
use the secondary data channel (“orange” units in the picture above) must have DIPswitch S2:4 set to the ON position.
• One of the primary data channel and one of the secondary data channel ODW-730
units must be configured as a Ring Focal Point by setting DIP-switch S2:3 to the ON
position.
• Set DIP-switch S2:6 as desired. See page 34 “Status port” for more information.
• Verify that DIP-switches S1:8, S2:1 and S2:8 are set in the OFF position.

• Connect the fibre pairs between the units. Always connect CH 1 from one unit to CH
2 on the next unit as shown in the picture above.

• Set DIP-switch S2:6 as desired. See page 34 “Status port” for more information.
• Verify that DIP-switches S2:1 and S2:8 are set in the OFF position.
• Connect the fibre pairs between the units. Always connect CH 1 from one unit to CH

Note: In an ODW-730 fibre optic network there will be some additional processing
delays that do not exist in an electrical bus. It is possible that the application must be
adjusted to accommodate these delays if using many ODW-730 units in a large network.

start sending out data on both optical fibre ports, TX1 and TX2, simultaneously.
The third and fourth ODW-730 units will now switch direction so that data is sent out
on optical fibre TX1 instead of TX2. (Not shown in the picture above, is that the third
ODW will continue to send data out on TX2).
Consequently, communications device 1 is still able to communicate with device 3 and 4.
And communications device 2 is still able to communicate with device 5.

Calculating system processing delay
Data exchange between commuinication devives via an ODW-730 fibre optic link,
will be delayed due to the length of the optical fibre and the signal processing within the
ODW-730. The signal processing delay is dependent on the data rate, and the fibre delay
is dependent on the total length of the optical fibre. The additional time resulting from
the optical fibre and ODW-730 is the Overall system delay.
Delay @ < 1.Mbit/s
Optical fibre length delay (typical)5 µs/km
Signal processing, electrical to fibre (max) 1 tbit + 1 µs
Signal processing, fibre to electrical (max) 0.3 µs
Signal processing, fibre to fibre (max)1.06 µs
Note: tbit = 1 / Baud rate (Baud rate in bit/s)
Example: Calculate the maximum processing delay in a network comprising of 10 com-
munication devices and 10 ODW-730 units, using a data rate of 115.2 kbit/s, with a total
fibre length of 40 km. A data exchange between the two communication devices located
at either end of the network.
1. Fibre: The total optical fibre length delay.
40 x 5 µs = 200 µs
2. Optical repeaters: The optical repeater delay x Number of optical repeaters
(excluding the ODW-730 units connected to the communication devices that are
exchanging data).
(10 – 2) x 1.06 µs = 8.48 µs.
3. Converter electrical to fibre: Signal processing delay inside the ODW-730 that is
sending data.
1 tbit + 1 µs = 1/115200 + 1 µs = 9.68 µs
4. Converter fibre to electrical: Signal processing delay inside the ODW-730 that is
receiving data.
0.3 µs
5. The system delay is calculated by summing the delays in item 1 to 4 above
and multiplying the result by two:
The reconfiguration time is determined by the time it takes to detect a faulty fibre segment plus the time it takes to transport an error status message through to the ODW730 Ring Focal Point unit. The time to transport an error status message to the Ring
Focal Point unit is dependent on how many units the error status message has to be
repeated through and the total fibre length delay.
The time to detect a faulty fibre segment is less or equal to 3 µs.
The time to repeat an error status message through any unit is 0.8 µs
During reconfiguration data may be corrupted or lost.
Example: Calculate the maximum reconfiguration time in a network comprising of
10 ODW-730 units and a total fibre length of 40 km.
1. Error detection: The time it takes to detect a faulty fibre segment.
Always 3 µs.
2. Fibre: The total optical fibre length delay.
40 x 5 µs = 200 µs
3. Optical repeaters: The optical repeater delay x Number of optical repeaters
(excluding the ODW-730 units connected to the communication devices that are
exchanging data).
(10 – 2) x 0.8 µs = 6.4 µs.
4. The reconfiguration time is calculated by summing the delays in item 1 to 3
above:
3 µs + 200 µs + 6.4 µs = 209.4 µs

About the interfaces
Power terminal
The power terminal has two independent inputs, +VA and +VB, allowing redundancy
should either fail. The ODW-730 power supply is galvanically isolated from all other
internal electronics.
Optical fibre interfaces
ODW-730 uses Small From Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers that are in compliance
with the Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA). This means that a wide range of different fibre
tranceivers and connectors can be used.
RS-485 interface
A 4 position detachable screw terminal that can handle full duplex data rates up to
1.5 Mbit/s and can be set to either 2- or 4-wire RS-485 system.
When 4-wire RS-485 is selected, the terminals T/R+ and T/R– will always be set to
transmit and terminals R+ and R– will always receive data.
Manchester coded protocol can be tranferred with Synchroous mode.
Status port
The status port connects to an internal relay wich may be used to trigger an external
alarm if a fault condition occurs. During normal operation pins 1 and 2 are in contact
with each other, and pins 2 and 3 are isolated. During an optical link failure, or power
failure, pins 1 and 2 are isolated, and pins 2 and 3 are in contact with each other.
Optical link failures can be classified in to two categories, local or remote, as indicated by
the FL L and FL R LED’s. A local link failure is when an optical link is down at this
particular unit. A remote link failure is when an optical link is down at some other unit.
From the factory, the status port is set to trigger on both types of link failures.
However, by setting DIP-switch S2:6 to the ON position, the status port will only
trigger when a local link failure has occured.
