Introduction
Fiber optic transmission offers the benefits of
wide bandwidth, immunity to EMI/RFI interference,
and secure data transmission. The ADAM-4541/
ADAM-4542 can be used as an RS-232/422/485
point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection for
transmitting and converting
their equivalents within a fiber optic environment.

The ADAM-4541/4542 is
various machinery equipped with RS-232/422/
485 communication ports (such as computer
systems or manufacturing machines). Using
standard ST connectors, the module's fiber optic
ports can accommodate a wide range of fiber
optic cable sizes, including 62.5/125 (9/125) m.

The ADAM-454114542 converter has two DIP
switches which set the data format (number of
bits) and baud rate for the ADAM network.

have a fiXed data forma t of ten data bits. The
option of changing to 9, 11 or 12 bits is for use
