OP5607 Installation and Configuration
Connecting Cables
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Installation is simply a matter of placing the chassis on a shelf or a desktop or inserting it into a traditional rack and connecting the cables. When installing
an OP5607 in a system, it is important to have all connections completed before turning the unit on.
Connecting Cables
These are the basic cabling instructions for your OP5607. Use the cables provided to connect your devices, as instructed.
Step 1
If your OP5607 came as part of full system delivery, including an OPAL-RT simulator, simply connect the PCIe cable between the
PCIe
simulator and the OP5607 PCIe connector in the back of the unit. Make sure to connect the cable end labeled

connect the PCIe cable from the PCIe connector at the back of the OP5607 to the simulator. Make sure to connect the cable end
labeled host to the simulator, and the cable end-labeled target to the OP5607.
If your OP5607 came configured for MuSE communication, use the SFP transceivers and LC-LC multimode fiber cable purchased with
SFP
the unit to connect one of the unit's SFP ports to one of the real-time simulator's SFP ports configured for MuSE communication.

When using SFP ports for Generic Aurora communication with other OPAL-RT units or external devices, additional SFP modules and
optical fiber cable are required.
Step 2
Connect the power cord to the unit and plug it into an appropriate power source (outlet).
Step 3
Connect the DB37 cables from the OP5607 to external devices (motor, controller, etc.). Before connecting cables, make sure that the amplitude is

Then only connect the PCIe cable from the PCIe connector at the back of the OP5607 to the simulator.
- Page 2 Failure to do so will prevent the simulator from detecting the OP5607 FGPA during boot. If you use an SFP connection in a MuSE setup, powering up the OP5607 before the simulator is not mandatory, but it must be powered up before loading the real-time simulation.
- Page 3 Note: Although some boards do provide a power source, using that would compromise the isolation. OPAL-RT recommends using external power source: the user must connect the power wires (provided) to either a 5 or 12 V power source. Make sure that the Vuser source switch on the loopback board is set to “External”.
