Plr615X Signal Distribution - Daktronics PROLINK ROUTER 605 Series Installation And Maintenance Manual

PLR615X Signal Distribution

The ProLink6 control system sends ProLink6 signal through
a dual coax cable to the PLR615X. Refer to Figure 15.
The PLR615X receives ProLink6 signal and uses it to
generate ProLink5 or ProLink8 signal that is sent out to the
modules.
Contract-specific drawings show the signal path
Figure 15: Dual Coax Cable
between PLRs within the display and their respective
ProLink6 master ports.
Figure 16 shows a typical signal routing for a ProLink6 control system with redundant
signal using dual coax connections.
Note: Arrangements vary with section or cabinet size and a ProLink6 controller may
supply signal data to more than one display section.

The ProLink6 primary signal or secondary signal can
be connected to either the Port A coax jack or the
Port A Port B
Port B coax jack. Port A consists of coax Channel 0
and Channel 1; Port B consists of coax Channel 2 and
Channel 3. Refer to Figure 17.

Each port can support a receive/transmit (Rx/Tx) pair but
Rx/Tx pairs cannot cross between ports. This is referred to
Figure 17: ProLink6 Coax Layout
as "auto-negotiation rules".
ProLink6 is capable of determining which channel is receiving and which is transmitting
data on each port. Because of this capability, it is possible to swap a ProLink6 master
cable pair's transmit and receive on either port if the pair does not cross ports.
