Media converters for fieldbuses
Media converters for PROFIBUS
Media converters from the PSI-MOS product family enable you to convert copper-based PROFIBUS interfaces to FO (fiber optics). A transparent protocol is used to convert all data rates up to 12 Mbps. This gives you important advantages:
- Automatic data rate detection or fixed data rate setting via DIP switches
- Integrated optical diagnostics for continuous monitoring of FO paths
- High-quality electrical isolation between all interfaces
- Bit retiming for any cascading depth
- Can be combined with the PSI copper repeater in a modular way using DIN rail connectors
- Intrinsically safe FO interface (ex op is) for direct connection to devices in zone 1
Media converters for CANopen® and DeviceNet™
You can use media converters to network CANopen® and DeviceNet™ fieldbus systems easily and without interference via fiber optics. This gives you important advantages:
- Integrated optical diagnostics for continuous monitoring of FO paths
- Floating switch contact for early warning of critical states in the FO paths
- High-quality electrical isolation between all interfaces
- Combine FO converters with copper repeaters for pure copper connections. What’s more, you can use DIN rail connectors to create a modular hub.
Serial media converters
Media converters for RS-232 connections
RS-232 interfaces are very susceptible to electromagnetic interference and potential differences. The transmission distances are too short. Use media converters from Phoenix Contact to convert your serial interface to fiber optics. This gives you important advantages:
- Longer transmission distances
- Elimination of electromagnetic interference
- Integrated optical diagnostics for continuous monitoring of FO paths
- Floating switch contact for early warning of critical FO paths
- High-quality electrical isolation between all interfaces
- Intrinsically safe FO interface (ex op is) for direct connection to devices in zone 1
