1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The FTDR-S2-WSB series Multi-Drop Self-Healing Ring Fiber Optic Modem interlinks with
RS232/RS422/2 wires RS485/4 wires RS485 interface devices over 2 single-mode optical
fiber cables. This product is intended for self-healing ring topologies. Our Multiple
Self-Healing Ring Configuration offers maximum reliability as it can recover simultaneous
faults or failures in two different locations. The Self-Healing Ring consists of two data paths,
Ring A and Ring B, with each data path running in an opposite direction to the other. Under
normal operation, only the primary data path (Ring A) is used, when there is a fault (cable
or failed device), the data path will turn around before it reaches the fault or failed unit and
use the secondary data path (Ring B) to complete the link. With this process, the data path
remains intact. The data communication protocol is transparent and compatible with all the
RS232/RS422/2 wires RS485/4 wires RS485 upper protocols.
The FTDR-S2-WSB series Fiber Optic Modem can be widely used, such as Industrial
Controls, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Industrial Networking, Supervisory
Control and Data (SCADA) and so on.
