Optical Sensing Instrumentation & Software: x55 HYPERION PLATFORM

2022-02-08
The Hyperion platform of interrogators has the ability to detect peaks in thereflected response of a fiber sensing channel or network. Historically, these peaks are delivered on demand or as a stream overTCP. TCP is a robust protocol that provides a high level reliability in data transmission, butat somecost in terms of deterministic latency. Other industrial protocols, such as EtherCAT or ProfiNet, are able to provide deterministic lowlatencywhile also offering robustness and reliability, but at considerable additional development overhead. These protocols are currently on the roadmap for the Hyperion Platform. As an intermediate step towards real-time implementations of the Hyperion in control applications, the platform now is able to deliver peak streams using UDP, a protocol that can run using much of the same firmware stack as TCP, but with a very simplified set of features that provides more deterministic delivery of data at low latency, but withvery little insurance of reliability, especially if implemented on a complex ethernet network. However, on a simple network with, for instance, just a singleswitch between theinterrogator and the system controller that receives thedata, UDP can be very reliable. This, then, enables a controller to receive thepeak data within a fraction of the time of a single sample that is acquired at 1 kHz, opening up the potential for this platformto be used extensively for controlapplications. Thispaper will detail how to use this feature, while also detailing theresults from initial testing.
