The intrinsically safe communication between surface and underground involves coverage of long distances.
For transmitting high data rates we utilise the optical fibre technology which requires only a modest effort to cover long distances in hazardous area zones of totally different character.
Optical interface modules are available for various standard bus systems.
MC01-ib
- The intrinsically safe media converter of type iMC01-ib is configured as an autonomous system / device.
- It is destined for coupling/conversion of a 10/100Mbit/s (copper-based) twisted-pair TCP/IP Ethernet connection to a 100Mbit/s FX single-mode optical fibre port.
- The electronics module of the media converter is installed in an electrostatic conductive plastics housing (surface resistance ≤109Ω). The housing offers a protection of type IP54 pursuant to IEC 529.
- An intrinsically safe 12V NG3-12ib power supply feeds the media converter with energy. The line between media converter and power supply unit can be max. 10m long (1 pair of a L-2YYQY, 2x2x1.5 mm2 line)
