Introduction
OP5600 SERIES/OP5650 SIMULATOR
INTRODUCTION
The OP5650 is a complete simulation system, that contains a powerful target computer, a
reconfigurable FPGA and signal conditioning for up to 256 I/Os. The design makes it easy to use with
standard connectors (DB37, RJ45, SFP 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 the target computer’s standard connectors, and monitoring
interfaces and connectors, while the back of the chassis provides access to the I/O connectors, power
cable and main power switch.
Inside, the main housing is divided into two sections, each with a specific purpose:
In its standard configuration, the lower part of the chassis contains a powerful target computer that
can be added to a network of simulators or can act as a standalone. The target computer used to run
simulations built with OPAL-RT’s RT-LAB or HYPERSIM software simulation platform includes the
following features:
• ATX motherboard
• Linux-based real-time operating system
• Xeon E5 Intel 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,
• Space to install 2 PCI with risers, or 3 PCIe boards.
• Power consumption: 600W Max.
The upper section contains the high-speed FPGA and the conditioning modules for up to 256 I/Os. The
main features include:
• Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA 200T, programmable from the target computer via PCIe or MUlti-System
Expansion (MUSE). The FPGA is used to execute models designed with the OPAL-RT RT-XSG
tool, and manage the I/O lines. It exchanges data with the real-time simulations running on the
target computer CPUs via the PCIe link.
• Flat carrier capable of connecting any combination of up to 8 type B mezzanine boards.
