1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The No-Cascading new CAN Fiber Optic Converter is a multi-master and high
performance Field bus Control System (FCS). The modular fiber optic transmission
system can be used to transmit CAN-based bus systems such as DeviceNet or
CANOpen via fiber optics data interfaces over a pair of multi mode or single mode
optical fibers. Our FMC Fiber Optic Converter uses the fiber cable as its transmission
medium and utilizes Optical Fiber modulation/demodulation technology to changes the
electric medium into a light medium transmission.
The Fiber Optic Converter product eliminates many of the disadvantages of copper
cable. Examples of these disadvantages are EMI/RFI, ground loops (electrical isolation
with fiber), high attenuation (high signal loss), short transmission distance between
nodes of a system, and potential lightning damage.
The Fiber Optic Converter can be widely used, such as Industrial Controls, Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS), Industrial Networking, Supervisory Control and Data
(SCADA) and so on.
