Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide Model 907 users with detailed information relevant to the design, configuration, installation, and operation of the Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexing system. This document is intended primarily for the installers and end-users of Model 907 systems. This manual and the appropriate reference documents should be reviewed prior to installation or reconfiguration of the multiplexer system.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and other applications requiring the transmission of video and/or data over an optical link. The Model 907 has been optimized for low- power operation and delivery of high quality video and data in a standard PC/104 form factor. A flexible design architecture supports modular reconfiguration and expansion of the multiplexer system by changing or adding cards in the system.
907-0601-00A Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide An example of a Model 907 stack is shown below, in this case a Model 907V motherboard with two 8- channel RS-485 expansion cards (907-485). Figure 2-2: Example of a Model 907 Stack Focal Technologies Corp.
Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide Multiplexer Cards Both the remote and console ends of the optical link incorporate a 907 motherboard. The motherboards multiplex video and/or data channels, transmit the combined data over the optical link, demultiplex received data from the optical link, store system diagnostic data, and provide power to other cards in the stack.
TTL formatted data or a configuration suitable for AC-coupled RS-485, such as used by a Kraft manipulator telemetry link. The standard 907 remote multiplexer is available in pressure tolerant versions with up to 3000 psi rating. Figure 3-2: Standard Model 907 Motherboard Focal Technologies Corp.
Config. Dwg. 907-2001-00 The 907-R is the remote half of the multiplexer motherboard set and is shown in Figure 3-3. Optical fiber routing is not shown here for clarity and may vary from assembly to assembly, however a fiber bend radius of more than 16 mm should be maintained at all times.
Config. Dwg. 907-2001-00 The 907-C, shown in Figure 3-5, is the console half of the 907 motherboard pair. As with the 907-R drawing in Figure 3-3, the optical fiber routing is not shown. Fiber access is typically via an ST/PC bushing in the middle of the card, though FC/PC options are available.
907-0601-00A Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide 907V Multiplexer The 907V (Video) motherboards have six on-board video channels for unidirectional (remote to console) transmission of NTSC/PAL, Y/C (S-video), RGB, and YPrPb video formats. Although the 907V does not have any on-board data channels, it can multiplex up to six stacked expansion cards via the PC/104 backplane data ports.
907-0601-00A Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide 3.2.1 Remote 907V Multiplexer Card (907V-R) Part No. 907-0023-XX Config. Dwg. 907-2026-00 Figure 3-8 shows top and side views of the 907V-R remote multiplexer card. The backplane PC/104 connector allows stacking of other PC/104 form-factor cards. A standard two-pin Molex power connector is used for a +5 VDC power input, which includes a fuse and protection from reverse polarity, overvoltage, and undervoltage.
Output impedance for each video connector is 75 ohms, AC-coupled, as shown in Figure 3-10. Figure 3-10: 907V-C Video Output Circuit A 907-DIAG-E diagnostic card may be stacked with the 907V-C to obtain critical system diagnostics of both the remote and console stacks through an Ethernet interface. Details of the 907-DIAG-E card are provided in Section 5.13.
Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide 907Plus Multiplexer The 907Plus (907+) supports four unidirectional video channels and a total of 12 simultaneous data channels: six dedicated on-board bidirectional data channels (4 x RS-232, 2 x RS-485) and six bidirectional data channels through the backplane data ports.
907-0601-00A Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide 3.3.1 Remote 907Plus Card (907+R) Part No. 907-0025-00 Config. Dwg. 907-2035-00 Figure 3-12 shows top and side views of the 907Plus remote card. The backplane PC/104 connector allows stacking of other PC/104 form-factor cards. A standard two-pin Molex power connector is used for a +5 VDC power input, which includes a fuse and protection from reverse polarity, overvoltage, and undervoltage.
Figure 3-15: 907+C Video Output Circuit A 907-DIAG-E diagnostic card may be added to the same stack as the 907+C to obtain critical system diagnostics of both the remote and console stacks through an Ethernet interface. Details of the 907- DIAG-E card are provided in Section 5.13.
Stacking units have long pins on the PC/104 connector so that they can be stacked on top of other cards, typically a 907 motherboard with expansion cards. Usually stacking units have CWDM wavelength transceivers so that their optical signals can be combined with other cards in the stack on a common fiber.
Figure 4-2. The fiber link is limited to a length of 2 km when half-duplex mode is used, as per IEEE 802.3 standards. If the 907-MC card is configured to use full-duplex mode, the fiber link length is limited only by the optical budget.
Appendix. As shown in Figure 4-3, the 907-1394 card has LEDs for Power, Board Reset, Cable-Link, and Optical Signal Detect. The Power LED is on when the board is powered, the Board Reset LED is on momentarily during power up and continuously for an under-voltage input.
Kongsberg EM2000 and EM3000. The 907-ECL card can be ordered as a standalone card (built with short PC/104 connector pins and a short optical jumper from the SFP transceiver to the optical ST-ST bushing) or as a CWDM stacking version, for integration with a 907 multiplexer or other devices.
Config. Dwg. 907-2012-00 The 907-HDV (HD-SDI) media converter is based on the same printed circuit board assembly as the 907- ECL, but using an SFP transceiver with a higher data rate to support the 1.5 Gbaud signals. At the remote (subsea) end, the camera signal is input at SMB jack J1, as shown in Figure 4-7. At the console end, the HD-SDI monitor or processing equipment is attached to jack J3.
Config. Dwg. 907-2021-00 The 907-GBE (Gigabit Ethernet) media converter shown in Figure 4-8 is used to convert a single channel of 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet data into optical format at the remote end and vice-versa at the console end. Regardless of the input data rate, the optical link always runs at 1000 Mbps. Jumbo frames are supported.
In this way, the 907-GBES card can behave like a 907 motherboard or a 907 media converter. Each 907-GBES is fuse limited to 2.0 A of on-board current draw and 5.0 A of total current draw from the 907-GBES and all stacked cards.
When one of the six data ports is assigned to a stacked expansion card, the corresponding on- board i/o circuits on the motherboard are disabled to avoid a conflict. For example, if a 907-485 card is assigned to data port 5, then the channel 5 RS-485/422 channel on the 907 card itself is disabled while the expansion card overrides it.
907-0601-00A Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide 907-232 (8-Channel RS-232 Card) Part No. 907-0212-00 Config. Dwg. 907-2008-00 The 8-channel RS-232 expansion card is shown below in Figure 5-3. By means of switch configuration, all eight RS-232 channels can be combined on a single high speed serial stream (8:1), which is transported over a single data port channel on the motherboard selected by switch SW9.
907-0601-00A Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide 907-485 (8-Channel RS-422/485 Card) Part No. 907-0217-00 Config. Dwg. 907-2015-00 The 8-channel RS-485/422 expansion card is shown below in Figure 5-5. This card may be switch configured to multiplex up to eight data channels onto a single backplane data port (8:1). The 8:1 configuration uses only one backplane data channel from the motherboard but provides the lowest data rate (maximum 115 kbaud) per each of the eight channels.
Config. Dwg. 907-2016-00 The 907-ADC is an analog-to-digital converter card. It takes up to eight channels of differential analog input samples, and digitizes the signals with a maximum of 1 VDC differential voltage with 8 or 12 bits of amplitude resolution at a sampling rate of 160 kHz (maximum of 80 kHz signal bandwidth). All channels are sampled simultaneously to minimize channel-to-channel skew.
Config. Dwg. 907-2017-00 The 907-DAC card is a digital-to-analog converter card. It is used in conjunction with the 907-ADC (See Section 5.4). The 907-DAC takes 8-bit digitized data streams (12-bit support can be provided through factory configuration) and converts the samples into analog waveforms. DIP Switch 1 is used to select the number of active channels (all active, or channels 1 through 6 active), and is also used to select whether the incoming data stream is on backplane data port 1, channel 3, or channel 5.
Config. Dwg. 907-2030-00 The 907-Audio card is shown in Figure 5-9. The 907-Audio Card provides four simultaneous channels of variable gain microphone inputs, and four channels of 2 W outputs. The card supports 24-bit digital conversion of 20 to 20,000 Hz balanced and unbalanced input signals with a dynamic range of 60 dB, and provides switch-selectable linear gains of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 100.
5-12. The 1:1, 600-ohm impedance transformers can be used to isolate grounds between audio components, or to provide a single ended speaker output from the differential output of the 907-AUDIO card. Signals from the transformers can be looped back into the on-board 300-ohm r esistor pairs to provide additional attenuation if required.
Config. Dwg. 907-2008-01 The 907-TTL is an 8-Channel Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) multiplexer card based on the 907-232. By means of switch configuration, eight TTL channels can be multiplexed into a single stream (8:1), which is transported over a single backplane data port on the motherboard. Alternately, 8:4, 4:4 and 4:1 multiplexing options are available.
RS- 232 port, which is intended to be decoded by another 907-CIB card via a spare RS-232 channel. Figure 5-14: 907-CIB Control Channel Expansion Card Figure 5-15: 907-CIB Interface Circuits Focal Technologies Corp.
Config. Dwg. 907-2024-00 The 907-420 card is used to multiplex up to six channels of 4-20mA input data signaling. The 4-20mA input signal is a current-based signaling scheme where 4 mA represents zero percent signal and 20 mA represents the one hundred percent signal. The input current levels are converted to voltages and an ADC is used to digitize the signal.
The 907-USB card, shown in Figure 5-17, is typically installed in the remote stack with a short RJ-45 jumper running from the Ethernet port shown to a free Ethernet port on another card. At the console, the Ethernet connection is connected to the Network Interface Card (NIC) of a computer running an application that automatically redirects USB traffic on the computer to the Ethernet link.
Figure 5-18: 907-DIAG LED Diagnostics Interface Card Configuration of the WAGO connectors is determined by the installed firmware on the 907-DIAG card and is specific to the stack configuration. Any changes to the stack may require a change to the diagnostics card firmware for the LED diagnostics to remain valid.
907-DIAG-E card. The diagnostic card also reads motherboard-specific status information, motherboard backplane-voltages, and additional diagnostic data collected by the motherboard from other cards through the backplane. Figure 5-19 shows the top view of the 907 Diagnostic Expansion Card.
The 907-AIB expansion card allows standard AIB (Adaptable Interface Board) plug-in modules from the Model 903 systems to be employed in the Model 907 solutions. Note that to accommodate the length of the plug-in cards, the sides of the 907-AIB extend outside the normal PC/104 form factor as shown in Figure 5-20.
Card is connected to J2 via the PC/104 backplane connector and held in place with four standoffs. Switch 1 is used to enable and disable the use of the Model 903 backplane for data i/o to the 907 card. When data i/o is disabled, the Model 903 backplane is only used to supply +5 V power and ground, which supports the use of 907 motherboards and media converters.
Model 907 cards use a proprietary PC/104-connector pin designation for backplane communication and powering. If a system requires the Model 907 stack to be directly connected to a standard PC/104 stack, the 907-PC/104 Adaptor board must be used to prevent damage. This card provides isolation between the PC/104 backplane and the Focal 907-stack.
The power supply card, shown below in Figure 6-4, is based on a 40 W DC-DC converter module used to supply power to several Model 907 cards or substacks. Power input to the DC-DC converter via a 2-pin WAGO connector can range from 18 to 30 VDC (24 VDC nominal). Reverse protection and a 3 A fuse are included in the power input circuit.
20 nm spacing, from P1,P2,P3, and P4 into a single common optical fiber (COM). The same card is used to de-multiplex signals from a single fiber into four optical channels. Part number 907-0015-08, for example, multiplexes CWDM channels 1471, 1491, 1511, and 1531, and Part number 907-0015-10 multiplexes CWDM channels 1511, 1531, 1551, and 1571.
20 nm spacing, into a single common optical fiber (COM). The same card is used to de-multiplex signals from a single fiber into eight optical channels. Part number 907-0015-20, for example, multiplexes CWDM channels 1471, 1491, 1511, 1531, 1551, 1571, 1591, and 1611. In addition, the express or bypass channel (EXP or BYPASS), when available, can be used to pass all wavelengths from 1260 to 1450 nm.
LEDs D1 and D3 are ON when the F2 path is selected, and D2 and D4 are ON when the F3 path is selected. The 907 optical switch card can be powered with +5 VDC via the backplane or via connector J2. The card draws 70 to 90 mA, depending on the switch state -- switch position 1 draws more current.
Config. Dwg. 907-2031-01 The 907 1x2 Optical Splitter card shown in Figure 6-8 is used to split an incoming optical signal onto two separate fibers for redundant operation. Typically installed at the remote end, this card splits the optical power from a multiplexer or media converter card equally into two fiber outputs at F1 and F2. Typical loss through the splitter is less than 4 dB , with a 1dB level of power uniformity between the two output fibers.
Model 907 Video/Data Multiplexer - User's Guide Fiber Optic System Model 907 cards can be used to form a video and data multiplexing systems which is catered to very specific system requirements, including optical link length, data throughput, system reliability and cost.
WDMs and couplers are taken into account. Any remaining power is the optical power margin. Some margin should be allocated for temperature and aging effects, typically 4-6 dB. Minimum flux budgets for 907-based systems range from 16 dB to 26 dB available to the external cables, connectors, FORJs, etc.
Installation and Operation Mounting The model 907 multiplexing cards all come in the standard PC/104 form factor of 3.55 × 3.775 inches (90.17 × 95.89 mm). The cards are outfitted with a PC/104 keyed connector to provide backplane connectivity between multiple cards assembled in a vertical stack. Note that this connector, as used by the Model 907 system, has a proprietary pin-out.
All Model 907 cards which require power require a regulated +5 VDC. The tolerance varies from card to card, but is typically (+/- 5 to 10%). Current draw varies from card to card, and the total current draw for a stack (if drawn from the motherboard) must be calculated to ensure it does not exceed the fuse rating of the motherboard.
EX-L to carefully wipe any dirt off the face of the ceramic ferrules prior to making a connection. Always replace dust caps on the Model 907 fiber optic bushings when removing connectors. If bushings are left open, they should be cleared of dust with compressed air prior to reconnection. Fiber jumpers and pigtails should be periodically inspected for damage, such as nicks in the jackets or excessive bends.
