Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The OP5700 is a complete simulation system. It contains a powerful target computer, a high-end reconfigurable FPGA, signal conditioning for up to 256 I/O lines and 16 high-speed fiber-optic SFP ports. The design makes it easy to use with standard connectors (DB37, RJ45 and mini-BNC) without the need for input/output adaptors and allows quick connections for monitoring I/O signals. It is designed to be used either as a desktop, shelf top, or mounted in a standard 19’’ rack.
The front of the chassis provides access to monitoring interfaces and connectors and the SFP sockets, while the back of the chassis provides access to the target computer’s standard connectors, I/O connectors, power cable and main power switch.
Inside, the main housing is divided into two sections, each with a specific purpose:
Features
The lower part of the chassis contains the target computer that can be added to a network of simulators or can run standalone. The target computer, used to run simulations built with OPAL-RT’s RT-LAB or
HYPERSIM tools, includes the following features:
• ATX motherboard
• Linux-based real-time operating system
• Intel® Xeon® E5 CPU with 4, 8, 16 and 32 processor cores, up to 3.2GHz
• 10MB Cache Memory per 4 cores
• up to 32GB of DRAM,
• 512GB SSD disk,
• 6 PCIe slots 1 , used to connect the internal FPGA board and PCIe or PCI third party I/O and communication cards.
The upper section contains the FPGA and the I/O conditioning modules. The main features include:
• Xilinx® Virtex®7 FPGA programmable from the target computer via PCIe. The FPGA is used to execute models designed with the OPAL-RT RT-XSG tool, manage the I/O lines and execute embedded FPGA-based simulations. It exchanges data with the real-time simulations running on the target computer CPUs via the PCIe link.
• Flat carrier board capable of connecting any combination of up to 8 digital and analog conditioning modules. Each module controls 16 or 32 lines for a total of up to 256 I/0 lines.

A. RJ45 connector panels provide connections to monitor signals from mezzanine I/O boards.
Each connector is linked to front and back mezzanines on the carrier board. Analog mezzanines
(channels 0-15) will use only the first column of connectors. Digital mezzanines will use both columns (channels 0-15 in the first column and channels 16-31 on the second column of
connectors). See the “Pin Assignments” for more detailed information.
B. 16 SFP (small form-factor pluggable) ports controlled from the FPGA, for high-speed communication with other simulator FPGAs or with third-party devices. Each socket controls one communication link. SFP transceivers and fiber optic cables must be selected according to the type and speed of the communication protocol implemented in the FPGA.
Typical protocols used with OPAL-RT products include Xilinx® Aurora (1 to 5 Gbps) and Gigabit
Ethernet (1.25 Gbps).
The LEDs (light pipes) associated to the selected channel will light to indicate the channel is selected. LEDs are arrow-shaped to indicate the channels to which they are associated. The LED upward arrow points to top channel, the downward arrow points to bottom channel (see below):

CONNECTING THE GROUND SCREW
You must connect a grounding cable from the OP5700 ground screw to ensure that it terminates securely in a ground. Proper grounding will help to prevent electric shocks, protect the OP5700 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 OP5700 (shown in Figure 8).
• Attach the other ring terminal to the rack using a nut and lockwasher.

I/O Configurations
DB37F Connectors
I/O CONFIGURATIONS
The OP5700 simulator provides signal conditioning for up to 256 I/Os, which are managed from the
FPGA module and are accessible via DB37 and RJ45 connectors in the back and front of the chassis.
I/O lines are routed through a carrier board (inside the chassis) that can accept up to 8 signal conditioning modules, which provides greater signal conditioning flexibility. The conditioning modules follow a proprietary form factor, called Type B mezzanines. A range of mezzanines are available for analog and digital conditioning.
Mezzanines are detected at power up and information is processed by th FPGA for verification and initialiisation (I/O line direction, analog module calibration coefficients, etc.). Then, mezzanines are made available to the CPU simulation to detect improper configuration or hardware failure.
DB37F CONNECTORS
There are 4 groups of mezzanines, labeled 1 to 4; each pair (A & B) is linked to four female DB37 connectors (I/Os) on the back of the chassis:
The first two connectors (left to right) represent channels from Group B, which are linked to the conditioned channels from the rear mezzanine. The last two connectors (left to right) represent channels from Group A, which are linked to the conditioned channels from the front mezzanine.

I/O Configurations
DB37F Connectors
Two connectors (P1 and P2) are available for each mezzanine, and their depends on the type of mezzanine installed:
Analog modules (DAC or ADC), which use only 16 channels, which are routed through connector P1 and P2 does not carry any signals.
Digital modules (Din or Dout), which use up to 32 channels; the first 16 channels (00 to 15) are routed through connector P1 and the next 16 channels (16 to 31) are routed through connector P2.
All signals are represented by a positive-negative pair that are always available on the connector pins, for example: for channel 08 : (+CH08, -CH08)
Connector Interface:
Single-ended output: negative pin is connected to ground.
Single-ended input: user’s ground must be connected to the negative pin.
Differential output: positive and negative signals must be on positive and negative pins.
Differential input: connection must be between the positive/negative pair.

Frequently asked questions
The OP5700 is available in a number of CPU configurations that are factory configured according to the customer’s processing requirement: OP5707-4, OP5707-8, OP5707-16, OP5707-32. The CPU configuration and the use of riser boards for PCI cards may limit the number of available slots, as described in the Hardware configuration section.
The FPGA is used to execute models designed with OPAL-RT’s RT-XSG tool, manage the I/O lines and execute embedded FPGA-based simulations. It exchanges data with the real-time simulations running on the target computer CPUs via the PCIe link.
Connect the blue RJ45 cable to the Ethernet port on the OP5700 and connect to the same network used by the host PC. Refer to the “Cabling Instructions” and the System Description document delivered with your simulator to locate the connector to be used.
You must connect a grounding cable from the OP5700 ground screw to ensure that it terminates securely in a ground. Proper grounding will help to prevent electric shocks, protect the OP5700 from voltage spikes (from a variety of causes, including lightning strikes), and provide increased immunity from EMI by lowering noise levels and emissions.
The loopback kit included in the starter kit allows users to test system signals. Connection is made easy with a custom flat cable that matches OPAL-RT standard DB37 pin assignments. Connect one end of the flat cable to the loopback board, the loopback board to the simulator DB37 Output signal, the other end (DB37 connector) of the flat cable to the simulator DB37 Input signal and the VUser (required to preserve isolation) from the loopback board to the OP5700.
