Redundant ring, dual channel, V-mode configuration

In a redundant ring an extra fibre pair is used. This extra fibre pair is used to carry data if
one of the other fibre pairs breaks.
In dual channel mode it is possible to use two separate data streams in a single ODW-
730 network. However, all ODW-730’s must be set to the same speed and data
format
. This, of course, limits the number of possible applications for a dual channel
network.
In V-mode mode an ODW-730 network will behave as a 4-wire bus. Where the first
ODW-730 (leftmost in the picture below) will able to communicate in full duplex with
any other unit, but other units are incapable of communicating with each other.

Prepare the fibre optical network

• Configure all ODW-730 units for the correct speed and data format using DIP-

switches S1:1 – S1:7. Again, notice that all ODW-730’s must be set to the same speed
and data format.

• Select RS-485 2 wire and 4-wire mode using DIP-switch S2:1 (OFF = 2-wire,

ON = 4-wire).

• Enable the RS-485 termination / fail-safe if required using DIP-switches S3:1 – S3:4

(S3:1 and S3:2 = 4-wire termination, S3:3 and S3:4 = 2-wire termination)

• Set DIP-switch S1:8 in the ON position (V-mode) on all ODW-730 units.
• Set DIP-switch S2:2 in the ON position (redundant ring) on all ODW-730 units.
• Set DIP-switch S2:5 in the ON position (dual channel system) on all ODW-730 units.
• All ODW-730 units that are to use the primary data channel (“blue” units in the

picture above) must have DIP-switch S2:4 set to the OFF position. Units that are to
use the secondary data channel (“orange” units in the picture above) must have DIP-
switch S2:4 set to the ON position.

• One of the primary data channel and one of the secondary data channel ODW-730

units must be configured as a Ring Focal Point by setting DIP-switch S2:3 to the ON
position.
