• Our premium Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter is the ideal choice if you need reliable, extra-long serial data extensions in heavy-industry areas.
• Meets stringent IEC and IEEE specs.
• Encased in an IP30-rated enclosure, the converter's been put through some of the most exacting tests in the industry. The high-grade converter meets the requirements of two standards that make it suitable for electrical substation installations - IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 - specifications that are more stringent than NEMA TS1/TS2 requirements for transportation applications.
• Plus, as a fiber-based conversion and extension device, it's inherently immune to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) as it uses the optical cable to extend RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial data as far as 15 kilometers (9.3 mi.).
• Three levels of isolation.
• The Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter provides powerful isolation. Featuring 2-kV triple isolation, the device protects equipment as well as data from damaging surges and ground loops. With isolation on the converter's power supply circuits, you're given a third degree of protection for your expensive components.
• This level of protection helps prevent rogue currents from disrupting important data communications, such as those in the factory, engineering, military, defense industry, or utility applications.
• By isolating voltage anomalies, you stand a much better chance of preventing a surge from shutting down an assembly line - or your entire plant.
• Use in point-to-point or multipoint applications.
• You'll need two units for a standard point-to-point application. But you can also easily set up a multidrop configuration so one serial device talks to multiple slave devices around a fiber ring.
• Used in a fiber ring type of application, one Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter can communicate with up to 31 other converters in a ring.
• The converter has a removable terminal block for both RS-422/RS-485 and power connections, and it supports serial Modbus® connections for both ASCII or RTU (remote terminal unit) formats.
• Simple to configure and set up.
• DIP switches enable you to configure the converter for a multidrop or point-to-point operation, and a serial mode switch enables you to choose RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 modes.
• For additional ease of setup, bit-wise enabled circuitry detects the data rate automatically without you having to set a DIP switch. An automatic send data control feature enables an RS-485 serial port to be used in Windows® applications where you have no control over the handshake lines.
• In addition, the Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter has built-in switchable bias resistors (1.2 kilohms) on transmit and receive ports, as well as switchable termination (120 ohms).
