Product List

1. One set of industrial Ethernet opti cal fiber link adapter FIB-IE-M.

2. One copy of user manual in print or CD-ROM. (this product does not require any driver
software).

1. Overview
With the rapid devel opme nt of industrial Ethernet t e chnology an d app licati ons of large number
of its products, the Ethernet has become one of the most popular industrial control communication
networks with its advantages in low price, high reliability, high-speed communications, rich
hardware and software products, wide application and mature support technology, etc. In recent
years, with the development of network technology, Ethernet enters the automation control field to
form a new industrial Ethernet control network technology, which is mainly due to industrial
automation systems that develop i n the direction of distributed and intelligent control, The open
communication protocol and the simplicity in use have been widely recognized by the industrial
control industry and many industrial control equipments have been equipped with industrial
Ethernet interfaces.

The Ethernet signal transmission distance can only reach 100m, which becomes a bottleneck
restricting industrial Ethernet applications. We know that in the distributed control system, the
distances between I/O equipments may reach a few kilometers to tens of kilometers. To transfer
the Ethernet signal ov er s uch long d ist a nce in real time, the use of optical fiber is currently the best
choice. In addition to achieving high-speed long-distance signal transmission, it also can eliminate
grounding circuit interference, resist electromagnetic interference and lightning and many other
advantages.

FIB-IE-M can be widely used in PLC, HMI, VVVF, DCS and other ind ustria l equip ment s bas ed
on Industrial Ethernet.

4. User Guide

Before installin g t he Et her net optical fiber link adapter, please confirm that the connected
network cable (Cat. 5 twisted pair) c an not exceed 100m in length and the ma ximum length of the
optical fiber cannot excee d that spec ified by t he user manua l, which is 5km in multimode and 2 0km
in single mode.
The fiber ports of two Ethernet optical fiber link adapters will always follow the principal of
“sending port connects to receiving port and receiving port connects to sending port”, which is
Tx-Rx, Rx-Tx.
