General Overview

The OP4810-IO is an I/O expansion unit that includes the top-of-the-line AMD Versal™ Prime adaptative SoC line of compute engines (FPGA). It is designed to add powerful FPGA compute capabilities and plenty of additional and fast I/Os to OPAL-RT’s real-time HIL simulators like the OP5025XG part of this HIL2GO bundle. It has up to 128 fast I/O channels with signal conditioning, 6 Rx and 6 Tx RS422 channels (or low-speed fiber-optic channels), and 16 high-speed communication ports (SFPs).

The OP4810-IO contains the FPGA processor necessary to achieve real-time simulations and all the inputs and outputs to connect your external hardware in the loop to develop, test, and validate your projects.

• The only available network port is port #1, the lower port located at the front of the unit.

  • This port connects to the Ethernet port LAN2 (enp38s0), at the back of the OP5025XG simulator, as explained on this page.

  • It is used to flash the bitstream from the OP5025XG to the FPGA of the OP4810-IO.

  • The IP address of this port is fixed (static) and is displayed on the LCD screen.

  • The IP address should read 192.168.3.5.

2 I/O modules in an OP4810-IO

The system in the HIL2GO-410 bundle comes with two (2) I/O modules installed.
Both modules are the same and consist of OP48H20 standard I/O, type H modules.
Each module is identified as SLOT 1 and SLOT 2.
Each module has four (4) DB37M ports identified P1 to P4.

The system also comes with 6 TX and 6 RX RS422 digital inputs/outputs linked to DB9F connectors (SLOT 3).
