AFL-282 DIN RAIL FIBER OPTIC LINK

(Product shown with Multi Mode Optics)

AFL-282 DIN rail Analog/Contact Closure Fiber Optic Link is an OEM product designed especially for industrial applications.

The units may be used for transferring 2 analog signals of+/-10V or 4-20mA current loop signals, together with 4 contact closures (or digital/TTL signals).
Each one of the Analog signals can be configured separately to be +/-10V or 4-20mA.
Digital Inputs can be optionally adjusted to 0-12V or 0-24V logic levels.
Each one of the Digital outputs can be adjusted to Logic Input or to Contact Closures.
The user may configure the Analog input to be -10V to +10V or 4-20 mA by using jumpers (Per Channel). The receiver will output both - Voltage or 4-20 mA signals (for input range of 0 to +10V or 4-20mA, as selected) along with 4-20 mA current loop signal.

The 4 Digital I/O lines may be also configured by the user to 0 to +5V (or +3.3V) Standard TTL signal or to contact closure (i.e. a contact closure at the transmitter would cause a contact closure at the receiver).
It is possible to invert all of the contact closures using a single jumper (i.e. an open contact would yield a closed contact at the receiver end and vice versa). Same option is available for TTL signal: 1-> 0 and 0->1.

The AFL-282 Analog/Contact Closure Fiber Optic Link was designed for system integrators and builders, where low size, low power consumption and low cost are important. You won't have to keep 3-4 different fiber optic links in your toolbox. One link does it all with few simple jumper configurations.
No need to lay few fibers - One fiber would transfer all signals.

The bandwidth of the analog inputs is DC-10KHz. The contacts can be switched up to 50 times per second and the TTL lines can be toggled up to 30,000 times per second. The distance between the Tx and Rx modules may be between 0 to 2 miles with the standard Multi-Mode interface(30 miles optional with 1550nm Single Mode optical interface and SM fiber).
