1TECHNICAL SUMMARY
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The OSD1250 is a small, self-contained optical modem designed to interconnect Bus Master/Slave Data Terminal Equipment
either in bus or ring topologies using dedicated optical fibers. Data link networks of hundreds of kilometres can be achieved
when using singlemode fiber, with a maximum spacing between optical modems of 30km. Polled Data protocols are normally
used to determine data traffic flow and will only be limited by the propagation timing throughout the network.
The OSD1250 has data interfaces for RS232, RS422, RS485 (2 wire), and RS485 (4 wire). Anti-streaming logic, which is set
to 300ms detection time, prevents a faulty data transmission from hogging the network. The anti-streaming logic can be turned
off for RS232 and RS422 thus allowing very low data rate or DC level to be transmitted.
This system operates by sampling the incoming data from one of the data interface at a high rate, encoding it and transmitting
over the fiber. Each subsequent modem simply regenerates this encoded signal so that pulse distortion does not depend on the
number of units in series. Consequently, an OSD1250 based system can have as many modems in series as required to cover
all likely situations.
Each OSD1250 within a network monitors the status of adjacent units to determine the ‘health’ of the network. This
information is used to determine the default data traffic direction. The direction will automatically be changed if necessary in a
redundant ring when a network fault occurs.
The OSD1250 card is designed to mount in the OSD350N or OSD370N chassis. The OSD1250C is designed to mount on a flat
surface .The OSD1250 operates from an unregulated DC supply of +12 to 24VDC @ 6VA.

1.4 TYPICAL DESIGN APPLICATION
1.5 THEORY OF OPERATION
A simplified block diagram of the OSD1250 is shown in Figure 1.
The unit is designed to operate either in bus or ring topologies (see Figure 5 & Figure 6).
In all cases only one unit in the network is designated the Bus Master and acts as both the start and end of the bus/ring, i.e.
signals do not pass through from Channel 1 to Channel 2 (and vice versa) as they do at the slaves.
In the case of a bus topology, the unit(s) located at the extremities of the system require only one Channel: the unused Channel
is fitted with protective caps. Note that the Bus Master unit does not have to be at the extremity of the bus.
A further consideration is the need to ensure that faults don't cause the bus to be monopolised. This could be due to a software
fault in a remote unit causing transmission or it may be a fault within the optical modem forcing a logical "l" to be
continuously transmitted. The unit therefore has three anti-streaming (or anti-jabber) circuits, which inhibit transmission if the
preset time limit of 300ms is exceeded and then enable transmission after the streaming signal is removed. The OSD1250
removes a streaming signal for a minimum of 1 second. This ensures that a faulty unit cannot monopolise the bus for more than
30% of the time. The OSD1250 does not require any special settings for user data rates from 300bps to 2Mbps (25% distortion
max). The OSD1250 is best suited to polled data protocols.
A concern with systems like this which continuously regenerate the signals is that system timing can be lost or degraded if an
intermediate unit fails. The OSD1250 overcomes this by having a fixed crystal oscillator at each node. When the incoming data
exhibits either a very high bit error rate (this rate is around 1x 10-2), or the incoming optical signal is lost, the associated
transmitter’s timing is switched over to the fixed oscillator and the receiver recovered clock is also stabilised with the fixed
oscillator.

The primary method of managing data traffic is the use of RTS/DCD. In RS232 and RS422, the RTS signal envelopes the user
data. In RS485, a voltage ‘window’ comparator is used to detect when the copper pair is driven out of the idle state. The output
of window comparator is used to provide a pseudo RTS signal. The RTS signal is used to enable data buffers at the remote end
as DCD.
The OSD1250 data interface is via a high density DB26 female connector. Essential modem control signals are available as
RS232 or RS422 signals. Translation between RS232 and RS422 is possible. The OSD1250 generates Data Set Ready only
when it detects the adjacent units are in their correct operating state. The OSD1250 does use Data Terminal Ready as true input
to determine if DTE is operational. If user hardware does not use DSR/DTR then a wire link should be used between these 2
signals on the interface connector.
Data received from the fiber is sent to the receiver outputs and tri-stated or continuously driven depending on each mode.
Output signals from the interface like DSR are only ‘true’ if the OSD1250 links are operational,
The Net Error signal has been included to indicate a Link failure. It can be used to energise a relay for normal operation. A
network or power failure will cause a relay to be de-energised. The maximum rating for relay is 30V at 100ma.
The receivers will deliver the correct idle logic state output without any signals connected at inputs. MOV and diode protection
is included on all outputs.
1.6 FRAME STRUCTURE
The simplest and most robust way of transmitting the data over the fiber is to encode it using methods like Bi-phase or
Manchester coding. This enables simple and effective timing recovery and bit error monitoring over the link..
The OSD1250 uses a 32MHz primary clock. The data is transmitted as manchester encoded data at 16Mbps. The high speed
sampling of user data is at 8Mbps. The remaining 8Mbps is further divided into a 4Mbps channel for sampling RTS and 8
channels each at 0.5Mbps. The 0.5Mbps channels are used for synchronisation, network status bits, and three low speed data
channels.
The frame is multiplexed such that user data is sampled every second bit. Every second alternate bit is RTS/DCD. The
remaining bits reflect the 8 channels at 0.5Mbps.

WARNING - Ensure that you are using the correct voltage!
The unit employs an internal resetable solid state fuse to protect both it and the power source in the event of a fault in the
modem’s internal power supply.
The OSD1250 card version requires DC power which is connected via a DB9 connector and supplied by the OSD370N or
OSD350N chassis. The card should be fixed into the chassis using the captivated screws. The cards can be plugged in or out of
the chassis with power on or off.

2.5 ALARMS
The OSD1250 has an open drain MOSFET rated at 200mA @ 50V max on pin 26 of the DB26 connector. Output at pin26 is
0Ω when unit is powered and ring/bus fiber link present. The output at pin26 becomes high impedance on all units on ring/bus
when any fiber link is broken or the unit is off along the ring/bus. The output can be connected to a relay coil as shown.
FIGURE 4: CONTACT CLOSURE OUTPUT
2.7 FIBER OPTIC CABLE CONNECTION
The OSD1250 supports all commonly available multimode and singlemode optical fibers. Remove the protective caps from the
optical output and optical input ports.
Before inserting the optical connectors ensure they are free from any contamination. If they need cleaning use alcohol and lint
free tissues. Connect the already terminated cables to the output/input ports. Ensure that the optical output port of one
OSD1250 connects to the optical input port of an OSD1250 at the other end.
Remember that the optical transmit channel of one modem connects to the optical receive channel of the next unit of the
system and vice versa.

The following section briefly outlines the faultfinding procedures for the OSD1250 modem. Please take note of the following:
Personnel without considerable technical training should not attempt any maintenance other than that outlined below.
If further maintenance is attempted than which is outlined below, you are warned that every care should be taken to ensure that
internal measurements made while the equipment is running are taken carefully. Some components are extremely expensive
and can be damaged by failure of any part of their support circuitry.
3.1 EXTERNAL INSPECTION
Visually check the following:
Inspect the optical connectors and give them a clean before reinsertion.
Check that the power wiring has been correctly terminated and that the correct power source has been selected.
Check that the data connector wiring has been correctly terminated, and the Master selection switch is set where required
Check that the status LEDs illuminate as expected in accordance with Table 4.
Check that the correct optical power levels are present at both receiver and transmitter ports.
3.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
No routine maintenance is required for this equipment.
