TrustedTM Fibre TX/RX Unit
Introduction
TM
TM
The Trusted Fibre TX/RX Unit T8314 is designed to extend the Trusted Expander Bus over
TM
distances of up to 10km. This enables a Trusted Expander Chassis to be located remotely from the
TM
Trusted system.
Note: It is recommended that if a remote Expander Chassis is to be located more than 2km from the
Controller Chassis, the route of the cable is surveyed.
The Expander Bus is extended by means of a communications link using a single mode fibre-optic
TM
cable. The Trusted Fibre TX/RX Unit converts the differential signals of the copper-based Expander
Bus to a fibre-optic signal for transmission via the single mode cable. Three totally independent pairs
TM
of Trusted Fibre TX/RX Units provide a non-interfering ‘Grey Channel’ approach to safety.
Features
• Dual 24V dc diode ORed power supply.
• Easy installation (Din rail mounting).
• Communications over a distance of 10km.
• Independent units therefore easily maintained.
• SC type connectors to two fibres (Tx & Rx).
• Low power consumption.

TrustedTM Fibre TX RX Unit T8314
1. Description
TM
The Trusted Fibre TX/RX Unit T8314 is designed to be DIN rail mounted in the rear area of a
TM
cabinet/bay containing the Trusted Controller Chassis T8100. A block diagram of the Unit is shown
in Figure 2 below:
Figure 2 Trusted
TM
Fibre TX/RX Unit Block Diagram
TM
The Unit provides a communications connection interface between the Trusted
and a remote Expander Chassis.
Controller Chassis
TM
The Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (PECL) signal from the Trusted Expander Interface Module in
TM
the Controller Chassis is connected to the Unit by a Trusted Expander Cable TC-302. The signal is
fed through an isolator, then filtered and terminated before being connected to the PECL input of the
fibre-optic transceiver. The fibre-optic signal is transmitted to a similar Unit at the remote end via a
Single Mode Fibre-Optic Cable. The fibre-optic transceiver at the remote end of the link converts the
TM
signal back to a PECL signal before transmitting it to the Trusted Expander Processor Module via a
TM
Expander
filter/termination circuit, isolator and ‘F’ filter. Signals originating from the Trusted
Processor Module in the remote Expander Chassis are processed in the same manner.

Figure 3 below shows the configuration of the Unit within a Trusted
Chassis.

System using a remote Expander
Fibre TX/RX Unit Configuration
Six Units and six fibres are required for each remote link with three located at each end. A dual 24V dc
power philosophy is employed allowing the user to supply each Unit with dual power feeds.
Individual Units require no configuration prior to installation within a remote communications link. Each
Unit operates in a stand-alone mode allowing replacement without interrupting the operation of the
TM
Trusted System.
There are no diagnostics available, but the quality of communications may be checked by using the
Expander Interface and Processor diagnostics via the application program.
Note: Data is transmitted along the dual fibre-optic link at a rate of 250MHz. Signal skew will take
place but it must not exceed 80ns, which equates to a cable length difference of 15 metres.
This requires that synchronisation must take place at the start and end of each transmission.
Skew not exceeding 80ns can be guaranteed for distances up to 2km. For distances greater
than 2km, cable routes must be surveyed to ensure that the propagation time difference
between the shortest and longest distance of the three links is less than 80ns.

2. Installation
TM
The Trusted Fibre TX/RX Unit T8314 may be mounted on either of the TS32 or TS35 DIN rails in the
horizontal or vertical position as required.
Note: Allow a minimum of 200mm on either side of the Unit to allow for the fibre cable bend radius.
This bend radius may vary depending upon the type of cable chosen by the user.
