Binary Signal Transmission via Optical Fiber or Wireless Connection

Binary Signal Transmission via Optical Fibers or Wireless Connection; Connection via the
Integrated Ethernet Interface to External Transmission Devices
The application shows the electric connection of an I/O mirror to Ethernet-based transmission devices via patch
cable, which establish a connection via optical on the remote side or a wireless connection. The connection
could also be realized via switches with long-distance modules or via IP networks.
If using a media converter by Ruggedcom for Ethernet RSM 40, 4 binary signal transmissions can be connect-
ed via Ethernet. This ensures that a maximum of 24 binary individual signals can be exchanged bidirectional
via optical connection. For direct optical connections, this is an alternative to the serial configuration in
Figure 5-8.
Since client and server communicate with each other via IP addresses, any IP networks can be used, using the
Modbus UDP protocol. When connecting via routed network components, the ports for the protocol have to be
released. An encryption of the data on unsecured IP networks has to be performed via external devices.
