Figure 1 100BASE-T1 Media Converter 2 Introduction The Media Converter realizes a bi-directional network connection between 100BASE-T1 (BroadR- Reach) and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) physical layer. The converter easily connects devices with a standard OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach (OABR) port, such as automotive cameras or ECUs, to a standard computer network.
T1 port, carry out a BroadR-Reach media test to diagnose cable errors, fine-tune the PHYs parameters, and generally to read and write the registers. 2.1 Features • Physical Layer conversion between 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX • Master / Slave configuration for OABR •...
Figure 4 Power Options 4.3 Media Conversion Connect 100BASE-T1 network over CON1 (DSUB9M) pins 4 (BP - Positive) and 5 (BM - Negative). Connect 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) network over CON2 (RJ-45). Do not forget to select the select T1 Master/Slave configuration depending on your use case (Chapter 4.4.2), and to power the device (Chapter 4.2).
Both RJ-45 and Micro-USB connectors use the standard pinouts. From left on RJ-45 port is yellow and green LED. RJ-45 connector is galvanically isolated (Chapter 4.8). USB can be used for diagnostic purposes (Chapter 5.2). The 100BASE-T1 Media Converter forwards Ethernet communication packets between 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX ports only.
Table 4 LED Function Description 4.6 CAN Bus Termination Status information of the 100BASE-T1 Media Converter can be obtained over USB or CAN bus. In case of a CAN bus connection, there is no internal termination resistor inside the device. Therefore, a proper termination of the CAN bus is needed.
When connect the media converter to PC over USB, it will be enumerated as a virtual COM port. Windows 10 operating system and newer is supported. The 100BASE-T1 Media Converter Utility PC application allows to read the status of the device. The utility can be downloaded from www.machsystems.cz/en/support...
