C2C-Link Setup Procedure

This step is specific to each C2C-Link Configuration:

IntraCard C2C-Link configuration

This configuration exclusively uses FPGA internal resources to build the C2C-Link interconnect; it doesn't require any additional hardware!

IntraPC C2C-Link configuration

This configuration requires one accessory cable such as the 3303 C2C-Link Ribbon Cable or a custom-made C2C-Link cable for each PC.

Insert a C2C-Link female connector of the C2C-Link cable into the C2C-Link pin header connector of each participating Coaxlink cards.

InterPC C2C-Link configuration

This configuration requires one 1636 InterPC C2C-Link Adapter for each PC and one RJ 45 CAT 5 STP straight LAN cable for each adapter but the last one.

In each participating PC:

1. Install 1636 InterPC C2C-Link Adapter into a free slot and secure the bracket.
2. Connect the adapter to a power source.

3. Using one 3303 C2C-Link Ribbon Cable, bind together the C2C-Link connectors of all the participating cards together with the C2C-Link of the adapter card.
4. Using LAN Cables, interconnect the adapters.

Master C2C-Link device

● Assign value Master to C2CLinkConfiguration of the GenTL Device module
● Configure the I/O Toolbox C2C1 tool of the GenTL Interface module to share Cycle Trigger:
□ Assign value CycleTrigger to C2CLinkSynchronizationToolSource
□ Assign value Immediate to C2CLinkSynchronizationToolClock
● Optional, configure the I/O Toolbox C2C2 and C2C3 tools of the GenTL Interface module according to the application requirements

Slave C2C-Link devices

Assign value Slave to C2CLinkConfiguration of the GenTL Device module
