Ultra Energy supplies rugged fiber optic networking solutions for automation and process control in harsh, industrial environments. A fiber optic system using an optical transceiver and fiber optic media offers an array of benefits that are not available with traditional copper-based systems in similar settings.
- High data rate and bandwidth capacity
- Immunity to EMI/RFI and lightning damage
- No ground loops
- Low attenuation
- Longer transmission distances, up to 80km
- Small cable diameter fits almost anywhere
- Light weight
- No sparks if cut, ideal for hazardous Location applications
- No electric shock hazard
- Secure communications
- Flexible networking topologies
- Corrosion resistant
- Longer life expectancy than copper or coaxial cable
- Lower total system cost
Ultra Energy fiber solutions provide cost-effective ways to monitor and control electrical signals:
- Convert copper signals to fiber, and back again to copper
- Support all network topologies, including single and dual-channel Self-Healing Rings (SHRs)
- Provide local and global diagnostics
- Work with the various open and proprietary protocols supported by a variety of PLC providers
- Multiplex 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, dry contacts, RS-232/485 over a pair of fiber
- Provide analog and digital data links
- Class I, DIV 2, Groups A,B,C,D, and ATEX and CE
- Operating temperature -40°C to +85°C
