Convert Signals for Fiber

Dec. 1, 2004
A fiber optic converter system enables users to transmit fiber optic data for popular serial communication interfaces and bus systems.

The PSI-MOS fiber optic converters allow complete isolation of Interbus, Profibus, Modbus, DeviceNet, CANopen, RS-232 and other RS-485 networks by converting the electrical copper-based signals to glass or polymer fiber technology. Discrete wiring for power is no longer necessary with the optional system power supply, power terminal block and T-foot power bus coupler that mount on a DIN rail. The PSI-MOS products also feature fiber optic line monitoring and diagnostics to increase operation reliability. The PSI-MOS system is 22.5mm wide, making it well-suited for control cabinet and industrial applications. The modular system allows use of a base module for point-to-point configurations for line structures and extended bus drops. Extension modules can be used to allow for network configurations such as star couplers with up to 20 fiber optic ports.
