Note: Although some boards do provide a power source, using that would compromise the isolation. OPAL-RT recommends using external power source: the user must connect the power wires (provided) to either a 5 or 12 V power source. Make sure that the Vuser source switch on the loopback board is set to “External”. |
For more information about the use of Vuser and Vrtn pleaser refer to this article in the OPAL-RT knowledge base : How to power the different DB37 boards for digital outputs.
The breakout board provided allows users to access each pin of the DB37 separately through the screw terminals. Simply insert the breakout board DB37 connector onto the desired DB37 connector on the simulator.
