Point-to-point communication via fibre optical network
The serial data is transferred via a fibre optic network between two ODW-630-F1s.
This application is useful e.g. for long distance communication, where electromagnetic
interference may occur or when isolation of the electrical network is needed. The maxi-
mum optical fibre distance between two units depends on selected fibre transceiver and
fibre type.
Note! The bi-di transceivers must always be used in pair, see example:
TX 1310 nm
RX 1310 nm
RX 1550 nm
TX 1550 nm

Serial data transfer can be set in two modes:
Syncronous mode: Transfer special protocols such as Manchester coded protocol.
…
See special switch settings on page 17.
Asyncronous mode: Data will be sent over the fibre optic network when a start-bit has
…
been identified. The data rate and number of data bits should be set by DIP-switches.
The turning time (from sending serial RS-485 data until changing to receive mode) is
automatically calculated from the DIP-switch setting.
