Perfect for long cable distances and galvanic isolation between devices and segments

The Anybus PROFIBUS Fibre Optic module is a unique product that allows long cable distances and galvanic isolation between devices and segments. This module is perfectly suitable for point-to-point-, bus-, star- and hub topologies. Because bus monitor data is directly available in the web server, the Fibre Optic module allows technicians to optimal maintenance on a PROFIBUS installation.

The Fibre Optic modules can be placed side by side with repeater modules. Just like any other communication module, the channels are connected directly to the ProfiTrace OE core in the Head Station.

ComBricks can also easily be transformed into a fully dedicated fibre optic hub mixed with copper segments. The hub topology delivers an optimised delay time and enables live expansion. The advanced 12 Mbps core of the fibre optic module can be cascaded unlimitedly with other fibre modules. It contains diagnostic LEDs and supports the redundancy feature.

The total delay ring structure

TSLOT  ≥  MaxTSDR + ((FOlength

FOlength        =    Total length of fibre optic cable in the ring in km

FOdelay          =    Delay of fibre optic cable per km in bit times (see table)

NFO-modules =    Number of fibre optic modules in the ring

Ndelay            =    Delay of one fibre optic module (see table)

The delay time is multiplied by 2 for a request and response message.

Note

FOdelay = (FOcable_length  / FOcable latency ) / Bittime

example FOdelay, 1km, 1.5Mbps:

(1000 m / 200 µsec/m) / 0.666 µsec = 7.5 Tbit/km

Example 1:  1.5 Mbps, 5 km FO cable (total ring length), 6 FO ring modules

TSLOT  ≥  MaxTSDR + ((FOlength x FOdelay) + (NFO-modules x Ndelay)) x 2

TSLOT  ≥ 150 + ((5 x 7.5) + (6 x 9)) x 2 ≥ 333 bit times

Example 2:  6 Mbps, 25 km FO cable (total ring length), 10 FO ring modules

TSLOT  ≥  MaxTSDR + ((FOlength x FOdelay) + (NFO-modules x Ndelay)) x 2

TSLOT  ≥ 450 + ((25 x 30) + (10 x 25)) x 2 ≥ 2450 bit times

Jitter per message frame

0.0625 Tbit at 9.6 Kbps – 3 Mbps

0.125 Tbit at 6 Mbps

0.25 Tbit at 12 Mbps

Deviation 2 Tbit times for received messages is allowed and is corrected to nominal speed when transmitted (over the complete message)
