Remote IO with Fiber Connection
Remote IO with Fiber Connection
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone knew of a module that can pickup 8 discrete inputs, and send it down fiber link to then get the 8 discrete inputs back out to then wire them down to the PLC. I can find remote IO modules that do this using a Ethernet cable, but nothing with fiber. I have a 2000' run with fiber existing, and spare. Don't want to have to pull 16 #14's 2000'.

Any help..
Thanks

I must say I started with fiber as a sophomore in college and have read a thick Laser/Fiber trade journal every month for about 25 years and I have never seen "single mode" replaced with "mono-mode". You crazy Brits..

The media conversion could be either a single FX-TX convertor, or a switch with fiber and copper ports.
I don't believe that the SEL devices can connect peer-to-peer. I think they are intended to connect to a communications processor, not to each other.
