Product List
1. One set of industrial Ethernet optical fiber link adapter FIB-IE-M.
2. One copy of user manual in print or CD-ROM. (this product does not require any driver
software).
1. Overview
With the rapid development of industrial Ethernet technology and applications of large number
of its products, the Ethernet has become one of the most popular industrial control communication
networks with its advantages in low price, high reliability, high-speed communications, rich
hardware and software products, wide application and mature support technology, etc. In recent
years, with the development of network technology, Ethernet enters the automation control field to
form a new industrial Ethernet control network technology, which is mainly due to industrial
automation systems that develop in the direction of distributed and intelligent control, The open
communication protocol and the simplicity in use have been widely recognized by the industrial
control industry and many industrial control equipments have been equipped with industrial
Ethernet interfaces.
The Ethernet signal transmission distance can only reach 100m, which becomes a bottleneck
restricting industrial Ethernet applications. We know that in the distributed control system, the
distances between I/O equipments may reach a few kilometers to tens of kilometers. To transfer
the Ethernet signal over such long distance in real time, the use of optical fiber is currently the best
choice. In addition to achieving high-speed long-distance signal transmission, it also can eliminate
grounding circuit interference, resist electromagnetic interference and lightning and many other
advantages.
FIB-IE-M can be widely used in PLC, HMI, VVVF, DCS and other industrial equipments based
on Industrial Ethernet.

4. User Guide
Before installing the Ethernet optical fiber link adapter, please confirm that the connected
network cable (Cat. 5 twisted pair) can not exceed 100m in length and the maximum length of the
optical fiber cannot exceed that specified by the user manual, which is 5km in multimode and 20km
in single mode.
The fiber ports of two Ethernet optical fiber link adapters will always follow the principal of
“sending port connects to receiving port and receiving port connects to sending port”, which is
Tx-Rx, Rx-Tx.

4.1 Typical application 1:
Figure 4-1 is the connection diagram of typical application 1 of Ethernet optical fiber link
adapter. The network equipment A and network equipment B in the figure are both equipped with
10/100Base-TX Ethernet interface and can realize long-distance optical fiber connection between
network equipmentA and network equipment B with optical fiber through two optical fiber link
adapters.
The network equipmentsAand B can be the Ethernet servers, workstations, routers, switches,
hubs, PLC with Ethernet port, touch screens, inverters and other industrial control equipments, as
well as other equipments with Ethernet port.
Figure 4-1 Typical application 1

When LFP_ON/OFF switch is turned to LFP_ON position, the link fault pass function is
enabled after the optical fiber adapter is powered on. This function will force other ports of this link
to stop transmission when automatically detecting any port on the link that is disconnected.
