ComNet FDX72: RS-232/422/485, Self-Healing-Ring, High Speed, 1Mbps

The ComNet FDX72SHR series self-healing ring transceiver unit is a fully-digital modem designed for implementing RS232, RS422 or RS485 2 or 4-wire data communications networks of the highest possible reliability. A network of these units can support one full-duplex or two half-duplex data channels. These transceivers also feature data translation to convert between data protocols. Data re-clocking and regeneration permit an almost unlimited number of transceiver/controller units to be used within the network. These environmentally hardened transceivers are ideal for use in unconditioned out-of-plant or roadside installations and, unlike many competing designs, only one optical fibre is required between units to implement a fully self-healing ring. Bi-colour indicating LEDs are provided to ascertain equipment operating status, including the location of fibre breaks. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever required.

• Meets EIA RS232 and RS422/RS485 (2 or 4-wire) specifications (simplex or duplex operation)
• Two data channel capability: one full duplex or two half-duplex channels
• Only one optical fibre required between units for fault tolerant/self-healing ring operation
• Full data re-clocking and regeneration: no limit to the number of transceiver units used within the network
• Supports supervised multiple master architecture for unparalleled network reliability
• Remote fault indication allows the user to determine when a fibre break or loss of prime operating power has occurred, or a transceiver in the field has failed
• LED status indicators provide rapid indication of all critical operating parameters, including the location of fibre breaks or failed transceivers
• May be used to provide serial data protocol conversion between nodes (consult factory)
• Designed to meet full compliance with the environmental requirements (ambient operating temperature, mechanical shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/low-line voltage conditions and transient voltage protection) of NEMA TS-1/TS-2 and the Caltrans Specification for Traffic Signal Control Equipment.
• Robust design assures extremely high reliability in unconditioned out-of-plant/roadside environments
