In-line Fiber Optic Modem Model BB-FOSTC www.advantech.com PRODUCT FEATURES Extend serial signals up to 4 km (2.5 mi) over multi-mode fiber Point-to-point or multi-drop ring configuration Inherent EMI/RFI immunity from surges, spikes, ground loops Data rates: RS-232, up to 115.2 kbps RS-422/485, 500 kbps Quick, inline installation Modbus compatible External power source required (not included, sold separately) Fiber optic cabling has inherent resistance to EMI/RFI and transient immunity, ORDERING INFORMATION making it ideal for industrial and utility data communication applications. MODEL NUMBER SERIAL CONNECTOR FIBER CONNECTOR MODBUS BB-FOSTC DB25 female Multi-mode ST Model BB-FOSTC provides the most versatile connection possible between asynchronous serial equipment using fiber optic cable. Any two pieces of asynchronous serial equipment can communicate full- or half-duplex over ACCESSORIES sold separately two fibers at distances up to 4 km (2.5 mi). The converter can be used for BB-SMI6B-12V-P230C1 - Power Supply, 12 VDC, 6 Watt, 2.5mm Plug, International AC point-to-point communications between serial devices. It can also be used to Input, BB-International AC Blades create a multi-drop master/slave configuration, allowing one serial device to BB-232CAM - PC-AT serial computer to modem cable, 1.8 m (6 ft) talk to multiple slave devices around a fiber ring. RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 data signals are supported. Different standards can be mixed and matched to allow RS-232 devices to connect to RS-422 or Automatic Send Data Control Explained RS-485 systems. This means Model BB-FOSTC can replace converters and isolators when connecting remote devices, while providing the EMI/RFI and As operating systems become more complex, it is increasingly difficult to control transient immunity of optical fiber. an RS-485 driver with standard software and the RTS line. This is especially true in Windows and multi-tasking operating systems. With B+B SmartWorx Automatic Send Data Control circuit, driver control is in the converter hardware, so you do not have to Model BB-FOSTC supports both Transmit Data and Receive Data lines, and work with software at all. provides full hardware control of the RS-485 driver with B+B SmartWorx Automatic Send Data Control circuit. All serial connections are provided on The circuit monitors data flow and enables the driver during transmission and the same DB25 female connector, while the multi-mode fiber is connected via automatically disables it when no data is being sent. There is no need to rework software or install new drivers. Most B+B SmartWorx RS-232 to RS-485 converters two ST connectors. Powered by 12 VDC at 140 mA (maximum). An external and RS-485 serial cards include Automatic Send Data Control. power sourced is required (not included, sold separately). All product specifications are subject to change without notice.
