Data sheet:

ST fiber-optic line bus <> RS485 interface

  • ST fiber-optic line bus interface

Network bus systems over glass fiber optics

Using multiple glass fiber optic adapters model 65210 a copper-based RS485 master-slave bus can be converted into an optical bus without additional protocols. Transmission is at a rate of up to 1.5 Mbaud and in any data format.

Properties

Interfaces:

  • 1 x RS485
    • 9-pin Sub-D plug
    • 2- and 4-wire operation
  • 2 x Multi-mode glass fiber optics
    • ST connector

Management and connectivity:

  • No re-configuration of transmission parameters required
  • Transmission of two data channels
  • Noise-immune transmission over a distance of up to 3800 meters per segment
  • Galvanic isolation up to nearly any value between the connected devices

Power supply:

  • External
    • 12V-24V AC/DC via plug-in screw terminal
    • Galvanically isolated power connection

Standards & more

  • Conforms to standards both in office and industrial environments:
    • High noise resistance per EN 61000-6-2
    • Low noise emission per EN 55032:2015 + A1 Cl. B, EN 61000-3-2 & EN 61000-3-3
  • 5 year guarantee
