Ieee C37.94 Interface - GE C70 Instruction Manual

3 HARDWARE
To recover the Rx clock from the data-stream, an integrated DPLL (digital phase lock loop) circuit is utilized. The DPLL is
driven by an internal clock, which is 16-times over-sampled, and uses this clock along with the data-stream to generate a
data clock that can be used as the SCC (serial communication controller) receive clock.
The UR-series IEEE C37.94 communication modules (modules types 76, and 77) are designed to interface with IEEE
C37.94 compliant digital multiplexers or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with direct input and output
applications. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for synchronous data between a multiplexer
and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard provides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n =
1, 2,..., 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication modules are either 64 kbps (with n fixed at 1) for 128 kbps (with n fixed
at 2). The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from the stand-
point of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit rate of
2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:.
IEEE standard: C37.94 for 2  64 kbps optical fiber interface (for 76 and 77 modules)
•
• Fiber optic cable type: 50 mm or 62.5 mm core diameter optical fiber
• Fiber optic mode: multi-mode
• Fiber optic cable length: up to 2 km
• Fiber optic connector: type ST
• Wavelength: 830 ±40 nm
• Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that supports
the IEEE C37.94 standard as shown below.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected to the electrical interface (G.703, RS422, or X.21) of a
non-compliant digital multiplexer via an optical-to-electrical interface converter that supports the IEEE C37.94 standard, as
shown below.
