Cabling solution for AIDA/PROFINET
Data transmission – bre-optic
Fibre-optic cables based on POF (plastic optical bre) offer
all the well-known advantages of bre-optic technology,
with the exception of the longer distances that are possible
with GOF (glass optical bre). This means that potential
equalisation currents or EMC-related issues are eliminated
from the outset. The great advantage of POF is its ease of
assembly. In combination with the HTX-IE-POF crimping tool,
preparing a plug connector becomes a simple exercise.
One of the properties of POF is that attenuation steadily
increases over the operating life. By measuring this attenuati-
on online you can determine in advance when a cable needs
to be replaced. Unlike with copper cabling, this makes
planned preventive maintenance a possibility. FreeCon
Active Repeater and Media Converter both have attenuation
measurement integrated into their design. The value
can be read in the PLC via PROFINET and automatically
forwarded to your service personnel. In this way you can
accurately monitor the current state of deterioration.
POF technology offers considerable advantages with regard
to connectivity, EMC and preventive maintenance. To enable
you to enjoy these benets with devices that only have an
RJ45 connection, we offer the IP65 media con verter, which
transforms the RJ45 data signals to SCRJ/POF.
