What is PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 - Dynamic Modules about?
PD IEC TR 62343 is a series on dynamic modules. Dynamic Modules is the ratio of stress to strain under vibratory conditions (calculated from data obtained from either free or forced vibration tests, in shear, compression, or elongation). PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 is a Technical Report, that proposes a software and hardware interface for the optical multicast switch (MCS). This switch can be controlled by resident firmware within the interface that is intended to enable a user or host to retrieve the switch status and/or adjust relevant switch settings. The MCS is defined in IEC 62343-3-4. The technical information regarding MCS and its applications in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems is described in IEC TR 62343-6-4. The objective of PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 is a proposal for a software and hardware interface standard of MCS.

PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 on dynamic modules is useful for:
- Telecommunication companies and component manufacturers
- Software engineers
- Hardware manufacturing sector
- Design engineers
- Administration department
Why should you use PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 - Dynamic Modules?
An optical multicast switch (MCS) is a dynamic module that is mainly used in a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) to realize a colourless, directionless and contention less (CDC) function. The MCS functions as an optical switch and a non-wavelength dependent branching device. It is electrically controlled with software, which directs an input signal from one input port to the required output port. PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 clarifies MCS software and hardware interfaces, which were investigated based on results from a survey by Dynamic Module Sub- Committee, Fibre Optic Standardization Committee, and OITDA (Optoelectronic Industry and Technology Development Association) in 2017.
In order to establish a standard specification for an MCS software and hardware interface, additional information such as timing requirements, timing diagrams of power-on and reset, communication parameters such as clock frequency/baud rate, data/communication format, packet structure, read/write transaction is provided by PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11. Using PD IEC TR 62343‑6‑11 you understand the software and hardware interface for the optical multicast switch.
