Convert Fiber Signals to Serial

The ADAM-4542+ improves over its predecessor, the ADAM-4542, by adding a new redundancy feature that improves reliability. By providing fault detection on the main connection between two modules, communication can be automatically and seamlessly switched to a secondary connection. To complement the ADAM-4541 converter, which uses multi-mode fiber for transmissions up to 2.5 km and wavelengths at 820 nm, the ADAM-4542+ uses single-mode for transmissions up to 15 km and wavelengths at 1310 nm. This means that an ADAM-4542+ connected to a central control room using serial communication provides a radius of 15 km to expand the control system.
