Reliable optical data transmission in PROFIBUS networks
The Anybus ComBricks is the first PROFIBUS-based automation system that unites repeaters and permanent monitoring in a web browser. With an evolving industry using more mixed architecture networks, users are able to integrate ComBricks into their PROFINET network via Osiris, allowing them to monitor everything from one single cross-platform.
The ComBricks Fibre Optic Ring module for multi-mode technology (ComBricks FO Ring MM) ensures reliable optical data transmission in PROFIBUS networks. This multifunctional module is specifically designed to create optical redundant ring topologies with multimode fibre optics. It allows long cable distances of up to 5 km and galvanic isolation between devices and segments. The ComBricks FO Ring MM module is especially suitable for applications in heavy EMC environments such as oil & gas, waste treatment and cranes.
The ComBricks FO Ring MM module contains diagnostic LEDs which indicates the detection of a low level on the optics. Just like any other communication module, the channels are connected directly to the ProfiTrace OE core in the Head Station. An advanced email functionality will alert you when faults like low-level or broken rings arise. Because busmonitor data is directly available in the web server, it allows technicians to optimally maintain a PROFIBUS installation.
ComBricks FO Ring MM can be placed side by side with repeater modules allowing spur line diagnostics. It can also easily be used as a fully dedicated fibre optic module mixed with copper segments. The advanced 12 Mbps core of the fibre optic module can be cascaded unlimitedly with other fibre modules.
