3 Functional Description

3.1 Satellite System

The R&S OSP satellite system is the transparent extension of two R&S OSP module slots via a cable connection or fiber-optic link. The advantages of the OSP satellite system are:

● Switch modules can be operated “on-site”. For example, high-frequency relays can be installed and controlled at the shortest possible distance.

● The non-conductive fiber-optic link avoids electromagnetic interference. ● The fiber-optic cables allow long distance connections. ● The fiber-optic cables can be easily fed through the shielding of anechoic

chambers.

3.2 Description of the R&S OSP-B200R

The option R&S OSP-B200R is the remote control (RC) interface module for operating the R&S OSP satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S. The single-slot RC module is designed to be installed in one of the base units R&S OSP120, R&S OSP130 or R&S OSP150.

User Manual 1178.6733.02 - 01 11

3.5 Installing R&S OSP-200R in the R&S OSP Switch Unit

The option R&S OSP-B200R is a one-slot module that can be installed in each of the three R&S OSP base switch unit models; i.e. R&S OSP120, R&S OSP130 or R&S OSP150.

A maximum of three module busses is available in an R&S OSP base unit.

Figure 3-4: R&S OSP-B200R RC interface module installed in base switch unit

The R&S OSP-B200R is typically connected to two internal module busses, which are, per default, the module bus A11 and A12.

Therefore, only one additional module can be operated in the R&S OSP base unit.

When installing the R&S OSP-B200R into the R&S OSP base unit, you must only connect two interface cables to the R&S OSP mainboard.

For the overall satellite system, make the following connections:

● Base unit to integrated RC interface module ● RC interface module satellite unit ● Satellite unit to integrated relay module

These interface connections are shown in the the table and drawing below.

3.6 Installing Modules in the Satellite Unit R&S OSP-B200S2

If the satellite unit is ordered together with R&S OSP modules, the these modules are fitted and tested already in the factory.

For installing any module later on, proceed as follows.

1. Remove a blank panel (if available) from the front side of the satellite unit.

2. Find the flat ribbon cable in the open slot of the satellite unit. (In each slot, A and B, one flat ribbon cable is available.)

3. Connect the flat ribbon cable to the R&S OSP module’s connector.

4. Carefully insert the module into the slot

5. Fix the module with the six screws.

4 Operating the R&S OSP Satellite System After installation of the option R&S OSP-200R in one of the R&S OSP base switch unit models R&S OSP120, R&S OSP130 or R&S OSP150, the connection to the satellite needs to be done either by Sub-D cable or by fiber-optic cable.

The R&S OSP-B200R/B200S satellite system only can be used in connection with standard R&S OSP modules fitted in the satellite unit.

4.1 R&S OSP Satellite System with Wired Link

For remote operation of the satellite unit across a distance of up to 10 m, use the cable R&S OSP-Z200A or R&S OSP-Z200B, as shown below:

Connect the “Wired Link” connector only to the R&S OSP-B200R remote control interface module. Connecting it to any other connector can harm your equipment.

In this configuration, the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S is powered by the R&S OSP base unit via the cable R&S OSP-Z200A or R&S OSP-Z200B. The base unit can supply two R&S OSP modules, each with a maximum of 0.8 A (at 28 V DC).

Before powering up the R&S OSP base unit, first connect the remote control interface module R&S OSP-B200R to the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2.

4.2 R&S OSP Satellite System with Fiber-Optic Link

For remote operation of the satellite unit at a longer distances or inside a shielded room, use the cable R&S OSP-Z201x or R&S OSP-Z202x, as shown below:

Before powering up the R&S OSP base unit, first connect the remote control interface module R&S OSP-B200R to the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2 and switch on the power supply OSP-B200P.

Operating the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S in this configuration always requires the power supply R&S OSP-B200P.

4.3 Switching on the R&S OSP Satellite System

When the satellite system is correctly installed and connected, you can switch on the R&S OSP base unit. After booting up, the system status is shown by three LEDs. These LED’s are available both in the remote interface module R&S OSP-B200R and in the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200R2. The LEDs show the following status messages:

Device Power LED Link/Busy LED Overheat LED

5.3 Power Consumption

Both the satellite system and the modules fitted within the satellite draw power from the R&S OSP base switch units (i.e. models R&S OSP120, R&S OSP130 or R&S OSP150). However, the additional power consumption required by the satellite system is relatively low:

● Max. 50 mA at 28 V ● Max. 250 mA at 3.3 V

For the power consumption data of the various modules, refer to the data sheet of the R&S OSP.
