Optical data transmission systems allow bi-directional communication for storage and retrieval systems, transfer cars, automated guided vehicles, and monorail conveyors. They replace complex and problematic cables, slip rings, and other transmission methods. The transfer between two stations takes place with light, which is modulated by a data clock

Pepperl+Fuchs' optical data couplers offer maximum stability and reliability with a consistent transfer rate across the entire range. Designed for long distances up to 300 meters, they are perfect for large-scale plants. Thanks to their wear-free optical technology, the optical data couplers ensure continuous smooth operation, eliminating high downtime costs. These devices can simultaneously transmit industrial Ethernet or video streams and are compatible with all common industrial Ethernet standards.

Features at a Glance

• Detection range of up to 300 m enables use in large plants
• Consistently high transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s for exceptionally reliable communication
• Reliable transmission from a detection range of 0 m for optimal use of space
• One-person adjustment since both reception levels are displayed on one device
• Simple installation and orientation save time and costs during commissioning
