13 HARDWARE INSTALLATION BASIC INSTALLATION OP4200 Hardware General Cabling Instructions Follow this simple installation procedure. Make sure to respect proper grounding, 1. Place the OP4200 on a shelf or desktop. 2. Connect the power cable to the nearest power outlet 3. If using in high risk tests or environment, connect the ground screw as described in the Connecting Network Cables section below 4. Connect the RJ45 cable from the OP4200 to a network jack. OPAL-RT strongly recommends the use of anti-static wrist straps whenever handling any electronic device provided by OPAL-RT. Damage resulting from electrostatic charges will not be covered by the manufacturer s warranty.! Disconnect power before servicing.! The OP4200 may be subjected to EMI when installed in proximity to other devices. Make sure to connect the OP4200 to the nearest ground to prevent any EMI related damage to the simulator. GENERAL CABLING INSTRUCTIONS The OP4200 provides a number of connectors that each allow users a specific interaction with the unit. Some connections are necessary to operate the OP4200, while others provide optional features and interactions. This section presents the necessary connections first, then provides instructions for optional connections. Connect the Power Cable The power cable is connected to the OP4200 using a special adaptor (OP5972). POWER LED Figure 3: Connecting the power cable 1. Press the power adapter box firmly into the phoenix connector on the OP Insert power supply connector into adapter box, as shown. 3. Plug power cable into appropriate source (outlet).!

Make sure to insert the power cord connector into the round connector on the power jack adapter Vuser 24V output connector Power input connector OP4200 User Manual OPAL-RT Technologies 13

14 OP4200 Hardware General Cabling Instructions Connecting the Ground Screw If you are working on high risk tests or in a high risk environment, you should connect a grounding cable from the OP4200 ground screw to ensure that it terminates securely in a ground. Proper grounding will help to prevent electric shocks, protect the OP4200 from voltage spikes (from a variety of causes, including lightning strikes), and provide increased immunity from EMI by lowering noise levels and emissions. Select a flat braided grounding strap of adequate length (as short as possible provides best protection), with ring terminals on each end. Attach one ring terminal to the ground screw on the OP4200 (shown in Figure 4). Attach the other ring terminal to the the nearest ground source using a nut and lockwasher. Connecting Network Cable Figure 4: Connecting the OP4200 to the ground Before connecting your OP4200 to your network, verify the IP address with your IT department. You may need to change the simulator IP address to correspond to available addresses on your network. See Changing the IP Address for instructions. The OP4200 simulator offers quick, single-ended connections, through RJ45. The network cable must only be connected to the standard network jack. DO NOT plug the network cable into any jack other than the jack intended for that purpose. To network To OP4200 Figure 5: Connecting network cables 14 OPAL-RT Technologies OP4200 User Manual

15 INITIAL SETUP OP4200 Hardware Initial Setup Although the OP4200 is configured to function right out of the package, there are a few configurations that may be necessary (or desired) based on your network setup or according to your specific parameters. This section deals with how to modify those parameters before you proceed to using your OP4200. DIP Switch Configurations This feature should be reserved for qualified OPAL-RT personnel. DIP switches on the OP4200 make it possible to set various boot and operation parameters. After a Reset, the boot mode switches are read to determine the primary boot device used (default mode is boot from SD card) Figure 6: DIP Switch SW # Description Functionality 1/2 Boot mode 0/1 Used in conjunction with switch #2, this selects the device to read at boot: Boot Device Boot Mode 1 Boot Mode 0 JTAG ON ON NAND ON OFF QSPI OFF ON usd Card OFF OFF (default position) 3 Console Enable Service When set to ON, RS232 port 0 is set in terminal mode 4 N/A NOT USED 5 CAN1 Termination When set to ON the 120 ohm CAN termination is enabled for CAN port 0 6 CAN2 Termination When set to ON the 120 ohm CAN termination is enabled for CAN port 1 7 N/A NOT USED 8 N/A NOT USED ON = down, Off = up OP4200 User Manual OPAL-RT Technologies 15

16 OP4200 Hardware Initial Setup Changing the IP Address The OP4200 pre-configured with an IP address (an identifying label will be attached to the unit), but it may conflict with your network insfrastructure; you may need to change the IP address for your OP4200. The best way to do this is to directly connect your OP4200 to your host computer (laptop, etc.). (Be sure to contact your IT department to obtain a valid IP address from them). Before you begin, make sure your computer has a serial terminal program installed; you will need it to access the OP4200 Recovery application. If there is no serial terminal installed, you must install one (such as MobaXterm) to access the OP4200 configuration application.

MATLAB will open with your model. Figure 28: Editing the model In the root layer (expand the model directory) of your Simulink model, you will find two subsystems: SM_[name] and SC_[name]: SM_ [name] stands for subsystem master. This is where all the real- time simulation will occur. This is the only subsystem that will be run on the simulator and that contains I/Os. The SM_[name] subsystem, contains subsystem settings that control I/Os. Depending on your system, you may see the following blocks: Analog input (Ain) and output blocks (Aout), Static digital input (Din) and output blocks (Dout), PWM input (PWMin) and output blocks (PWMout), and, SC_[name] stands for subsystem console. This will be an asynchronous subsystem that will run on your host computer and will act as a user interface. No critical mathematical logic should be included in this subsystem. 50 OPAL-RT Technologies OP4200 User Manual

51 STEP 3. Build the model 1. Drag the integration model onto your target to preconfigure it. Software Using Your Integration Model With I/Os 2. Since you have already configured the build process, simply click the Build toolbar button and wait a few seconds while the model is compiled. The OP4200 Integration Model assignation is automatically configured to run in XHP mode and the Execution properties are preset to Hardware Synchronized I/O Configuration Interface RT-LAB now offers a new feature for OP4200 I/O configuration. Because the OP4200 Integration Model I/Os are preconfigured, this section will not describe I/O configuration in detail (consult the ehs user manual for more details). However, it is a good idea to verify that the OPAL-RT Board is assigned to the appropriate SM_subsystem (Figure 29). Figure 29: OPAL-RT Board associated subsystem OP4200 User Manual OPAL-RT Technologies 51

52 Software Using Your Integration Model With I/Os And verify that the I/Os themselves are associated to an SM_subsystem (Figure 30). Figure 30: I/O subsystem associations 52 OPAL-RT Technologies OP4200 User Manual

53 Software Using Your Integration Model With I/Os STEP 4. Load and execute the model 1. Click the Load toolbar button and wait for the load process to be completed. This may take some time because all individual I/Os are loaded at this time. Make sure to wait until the loading process is complete. 2. Click on the Execute button. A new console window appears. STEP 5. See external I/Os Figure 31: Sample of possible interactions with the running model The specific I/O configurations for your simulator are provided in the SystemDescription_[Customer Name]_[Project Number].pdf, document of your Integration Binder (in section B Mapping I/O Blocks to signal conditioning ). This is also, and most importantly, where you will find the pin assignments of each I/O channel. To see external signals, you can use an oscilloscope to probe analog and digital output of the simulator. The integration model is already simulating all output signals with either a square or a sine wave signal. Note that the digital output board must be powered by an external source between 5V and 32V on the Vuser and have a ground in Vrtn pins. See the System Description documents to locate those pins.
