How to solve the video optical transceiver failure?

A video optical transceiver is a device that converts one to multiple analog video signals through various encodings into optical signals through an optical fiber medium. Since the video signal is converted into an optical signal, it passes both analog and digital conversion technologies. So video optical transceivers are divided into analog optical transceivers and digital optical transceivers .

Solution

In the security monitoring and control project, most of the optical cables are laid by users themselves, generally G652 single-mode optical fibers. Because the system coverage is generally not large, the optical link loss of the equipment with standard (≤20KM) equipment is very rich. Therefore, the optical transceiver has no excessive requirements for optical path loss, but the user often encounters no image, image jitter, and image quality. Poor issues, when the majority of problems are at the fiber pigtails, jumpers or adapters at the ends of the optical path, and rarely with the trunk light path. Common problems include: 1. The fiber optic connector is inserted incorrectly; 2. The fiber optic connector core (ceramic tube) is contaminated. The solution is: 1. Re-insert the movable connector or replace the fiber jumper; 2. Wipe the plug with 99.9% anhydrous ethanol and plug the core; 3. Check the video cable of the camera with a multimeter to judge whether there is any video signal.

In order to meet the needs of security monitoring, the system equipment (matrix, hard recorder, decoder) provides RS-485 data interface. The advantage of this format of data interface is long transmission distance, strong load capacity, and can form four. Line full-duplex communication bus, any two devices on the line can achieve two-way communication, and four-wire RS-422 bus can only achieve two-way communication between the master and slave, but not between the slaves. Its disadvantage is that there is an enabler, in a three-state form, which brings instability to the communication and even "dead". If there is no communication (runaway), look for the reason from the following aspects:

1. Check whether there is any control signal. Use a multimeter to exchange 10V file controller (matrix, hard record, etc.) to output RS-485 port and see if it has control signal output.

2. It is judged whether the optical transceiver RS-485 interface is normal, if the UA-B voltage is zero, it is regarded as abnormal.

The pan/tilt can't be controlled and can not be controlled. This phenomenon is caused by two reasons: a) RS-485 port A+ and B-reverse; b) The system impedance does not match.

The switch signal is a TTL level pulse train, which can control the work of warning lights, alarm bells, relays, etc. The load capacity of the switch interface is measured by the current size controlled, such as the switch load capacity of the EW series optical transceiver is ≤ 1.5A.

1.EW series optical switch interface supports normally open buttons, but when the following diagram is connected, the normally open and normally closed modes all support:

2. The digital interface can not be directly used in parallel, and it can only be accessed through the distribution circuit if necessary.

3. Some customers use the RS-485 bus to transmit the switch quantity. According to our practical experience, this method is not desirable, and it often happens that the work is for a period of time (such as 3 to 4 days) that is the phenomenon of crashes. Switching to RS-485 converter defects may be the problem.

1. Generation of Transient Interference: Transient interference is caused by large inductive loads, such as the switching of motors, transformers, relays, etc., and in the process of lightning, it often invades the optical transceiver in the form of electrostatic induction.

2. The hazard of transient interference: Because it interferes with high frequency, short duration, large interference amplitude (hundreds of kilovolts), it can burn out the key parts of the optical transceiver RS-485 interface chip, main chip, etc. The traces, especially during the thunderstorm season in summer, have a great impact on this destructive force, which makes users, merchants and manufacturers very troublesome.

3. Countermeasures: Although the optical transceiver manufacturers use various protection methods, such as bypass method (self-healing diode), absorption method (bidirectional suppression diode, etc.), isolation method (optocoupler isolation), but still can not completely eliminate the transient Damage caused by interference, RS-485 interface is frequently damaged, causing great pressure on users and manufacturers.
