500-005531-000 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION FEATURES FOR 6U BOARD VMIC’s VMIVME-5531L Fiber-Optic Repeater Link is a software transparent two-board set, with interconnecting cables that allow the user to effectively extend a VMEbus chassis more than 20-slots. "extended" slots, however, only operational for non-interrupting VMEbus slave modules. The extended slots will not support VMEbus master modules.
INSTALLED IN A 6U CARD CAGE. THEREFORE, 32-bit DATA TRANSFERS ARE NOT SUPPORTED. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The VMIVME-5531L is a two-board set that allows non-interrupting VMEbus slave I/O boards residing in one VMEbus chassis to be controlled by a VMEbus master residing in another chassis.
500-005531-000 SECTION 3 THEORY OF OPERATION OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW The VMIVME-5531 Link is a high performance, yet easy to use method of inking two or more VMEbus systems together via fiber-optic cable. The Repeater Link is a two-board set which allows VMEbus slave boards residing in one VMEbus chassis to be controlled by a VMEbus master residing in another chassis.
500-005531-000 THEORY OF OPERATION VMIVME-5531M VMIVME-5531S each consist three state machines, Taxi Transmitter, Taxi Receiver, Fiber-Optic Transmitter, Fiber-Optic Receiver, random logic, and buffers. The three state machines control the VMEbus interface, the Taxi Transmitter and the Taxi Receiver. BUS ARBITRATION SIGNALS The bus arbitration signals are not repeated over the link because the secondary chassis can only contain slave boards.
500-005531-000 SECTION 4 PROGRAMMING PROGRAMMING VMIC’s VMIVME-5531L Fiber-Optic Repeater Link software transparent. Boards residing in the secondary VMEbus chassis respond to VMEbus transfers as if they were located in the primary VMEbus chassis. Therefore, the Repeater Link requires no special programming considerations, due to the fact that the address and data signals are transmitted to the secondary chassis.
All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete report sent to VMIC together with a request for advice about the disposition of the damaged item(s). PHYSICAL INSTALLATION...
VMIVME-5531S connector (RX). 2. Connect the other cable from the VMIVME-5531M board connector (RX) to the VMIVME-5531S connector (TX). At this point, the VMIVME-5531L Repeater Link is ready to use when system power is applied NOTE THE RUBBER CAPS FOR THE FIBER-OPTIC CONNECTORS ON THE REPEAT BOARDS SHOULD BE ON THE CONNECTORS WHEN THE CABLES ARE NOT CONNECTED TO MINIMIZE CONTAMINATION OF THE FIBER-OPTIC TRANSCEIVERS.
No components of adjacent boards are disturbed when inserting or removing the board from the chassis Quality of cables and I/O connections If the products must be returned, contact VMIC for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number. This RMA Number must be obtained prior to any return.
