In critical applications, with high requirements for
data availability, fiber optic is becoming the data
transmission technology of choice.
The
advantages of fiber optic data transmission over copper
systems
include:
-
Maximum resistance to interference, even in applications
with extreme levels of electromagnetic interference
-
High grade electrical isolation between stations
-
Long transmission distances with extremely high data
rates
-
Number of stations not limited by electrical properties
of the communication interface employed
This
results in a significant gain in performance and immunity
to interference for the data communication infrastructure,
without having to allow for complex surge protection
measures, shielding and equipotential bonding concepts.

Our fiber optic communication modules provide complete
physical layer network solutions for both open standard
networks and the communication/control networks of most
of the major global PLC and control system suppliers.
Our standard data interface options include:
-
Ethernet, Profibus, Modbus, Modbus Plus, ControlNet,
DeviceNet, Data Highway Plus, DH-485, Genius, Remote
I/O, RS232/484, Reliance R-Net
-
Analog: 4-20mA, 0-10V
Recently,
we have successfully qualified and supplied fiber optic
data transmission products for several major nuclear
power projects. As a result, the significant advantages
of fiber optic data transmission are now available to
the nuclear power industry.
