Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Hardware Installation
- Insert the module into a 3U/6U compliant CPCI, PXI, or PCIe chassis, ensuring the card slot aligns with the backplane.
- Use multi-mode or single-mode optical fiber that meets the IEC 61754-2 standard when connecting optical fibers. Avoid excessive bending to prevent signal attenuation.
- Set a unique node ID via jumpers or DIP switches to avoid conflicts in the network.
Power Supply & Heat Dissipation
- Use a 24 V DC power supply (or 3.3 V/5 V provided by the chassis). Verify the power supply is stabilized before powering on the module.
- The module consumes approximately 3.3 W ~ 5 W. It is recommended to reserve sufficient ventilation space in the chassis or use heat sinks.
Software Configuration
- Install the driver program and SDK provided by GE (supports Windows NT/2000, VxWorks, Linux).
- Configure the DMA channel, data packet size, and interrupt mode (point-to-point or broadcast) during system initialization.
Debugging & Monitoring
- Use GE’s diagnostic tools to monitor link status, error counts, and latency metrics.
- Regularly inspect optical fiber connections and jumper settings to prevent communication interruptions caused by physical damage.
Maintenance & Replacement
- The module supports hot-swapping. In case of a fault, it can be directly removed and replaced. Ensure the new module has a unique node ID consistent with the original configuration.
- It is recommended to perform a full-function self-test every 12 months and record error logs for traceability.
