W&T 17634, Fiber Optic, Digital-IO Extender Set, 8x8
Product properties: Sending 16 I/O signals over fiber optics, e.g.: in extremely noisy industrial environments in areas subject to lightning strikes between two distant buildings in the mountains .... Safety-optimized solution with no need for programmable components: No firmware risk Integrated monitoring of the fiber optic connection: Status output on each converter Configurable output response when glass-fiber cable is interrupted Distances up to 3800 meters Eight short circuit protected digital outputs, 8..30V / 0.5 A Eight reverse polarity protected digital inputs Supply voltage 8..30V DC Careful circuit design and generous component dimensioning ensure more than 25 years of service life Conforms to standards both in office and industrial environments: Increased noise immunity for industrial areas Stricter noise emission for residential and commercial areas Application: Sending digital I/O signals over long distances High-res graphic as PDF file Background knowledge: Although digital I/O signals are basically less sensitive to external noise than for example serial data signals due to their lower bandwidth and the large voltage span, application conditions still sometimes require transmission procedures which are completely resistant to noise impinging on the transmission line. Glass fiber optic cables used as the transmission medium meet these requirements in ideal fashion and also offer the advantage of galvanic isolation of up to virtually any value between the connected devices. In installations which are subjected to high risk of lightning strikes, for example in outdoor locations or between distant buildings, such a solution ensures that the connected components will survive even under adverse conditions. The functionally equivalent plastic fiber optic cables offer the advantage of easy-to-install connections over relatively short distances of up to 100 meters, but for segments of up to 3800 m the use of glass fiber optics is essential. Attenuation of the light signals in glass fiber optic cables is disproportionately lower than in plastic fiber optic cables. Whereas routing and assembling glass fiber optic cables used to be problematic for the user, increasingly wide usage of glass fiber optic technology in networks has caused many companies to offer this service today at reasonable cost.
