Po5/Po5E Optibit Interface - TDT RZ2 Manual

PO5/PO5e Optibit Interface
Optibit Overview
The Optibit system (Optical Gigabit) is designed for users that require high-speed
real-time control of System 3 devices or precise system-wide device synchronization.
The Optibit interface consists of a PCI card (PO5) or PCIe card (PO5e) that
must be installed in the computer and one or more Optibit-to-zBus interface modules
(FO5) that mount in the rear slot of a zBus device chassis or is built into RZ
Processors. The Optibit interface is up to 8x times faster than the original Gigabit
interface and also reduces the system's susceptibility to EMF. Also, when using the
Optibit interface, all devices (across all chassis) are automatically phase locked to a
single clock.
Part Numbers:
PO5—Optical PCI Card for Hardware/Software Control
PO5e—Optical PCI Express Card for Hardware/Software Control
FO5—PO5 to zBus Interface
Fiber Optic Connection
Devices are connected in a simple loop using provided high speed noise immune
fiber optic cabling. See the
PO5 (left) and PO5e (right)
System 3 Install Guide
for installation instructions.
