* Regarding functionality see chapter “multidrop application”
… Recovery from faulty status
• ODW-630-F2 will automatically recover to the previous operating status when a
failure disappears. This involves recovery from multi drop application to Redundant
ring A/B when ring is up and running and recovery from Ring B to Redundant ring A
when the ring is up and running.
• The time to recover from the failure status depends on total length of fibre ring.
This is typically 40–500 ms. During that time the transferred data frames should be
seen as corrupted or missed.
Serial data transfer can be set in two modes:
Synchronous mode: Transfer special protocols such as Manchester coded protocol.
See special switch settings on page 20.
Asynchronous mode: Data will be sent over the fibre optic network when a startbit
has been identified. The data rate and number of data bits should be set by DIP-switches.
the turning time (from sending serial RS-485 data until changing to receive mode) is
automatically calculated from the DIP-switch setting.
• When the ODW-630-F2 unit connected to the PLC slave receives the slave frame
(the same frame that has been transmitted by this unit), or after a timeout, data
conversion at this unit will be allowed again.
… Behaviour under faulty conditions
• Elapsed time from any kind of failure at the fibre optic network until data exchange
after a corrective action depends on total length of fibre ring.
This is typically 40–500 ms (local unit). During that time, the transferred data frames
should be seen as corrupted or missed.
Note: Be ware of that full duplex will not work in redundant ring.
