GE IC695FTB001 Fiber Optic Terminal Board for PMM335

الوصف

The GE IC695FTB001 is a Fiber Optic Terminal Board for use with the PMM335 module in GE’s PACSystems RX3i series. It’s a key accessory that provides the physical connection for fiber optic cables to the PMM335 module.

Key Features

• Function: The board’s primary role is to terminate and manage the fiber optic cables coming from field devices or other network nodes. It converts the optical signals into electrical signals that the PMM335 module can process.
• Compatibility: It is designed specifically for the PMM335 module, which is a Profibus Master Module for the RX3i platform. This means the terminal board is used to connect the PLC to a Profibus DP network using a fiber optic medium.
• Fiber Optic Connection: The use of fiber optics offers several advantages over traditional copper wiring, including:
  • Immunity to Electrical Noise: Fiber optic cables are not affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them ideal for use in electrically noisy industrial environments.
  • Longer Distance Communication: Fiber optics can transmit data over much longer distances than copper cables without signal degradation.
  • Electrical Isolation: The cables are non-conductive, providing complete electrical isolation between connected devices.

Applications

The IC695FTB001 is an essential component for any RX3i system that needs to communicate with a Profibus DP network over a fiber optic medium. It is used in:

• Industrial Automation: Connecting PLCs to remote I/O devices, drives, and sensors in a Profibus network.
• Process Control: In plants where a high level of electrical noise or long-distance communication is a concern.
• Harsh Environments: The immunity to EMI and electrical isolation make it suitable for use in power plants, steel mills, and other challenging industrial settings.
