LW213 – LW214 (1300 nm) & LW215 – LW216 (850 nm)

Optical fiber modules for transmission of incremental encoder or sensor signals

Product features:

 Modules for data transmission of incremental encoder or sensor signals via an optical fiber
 Safe and reliably transmission of incremental signals, up to a distance of 3000 meters
 Four channels allowing a signal transmission with a sample rate of 10 MHz each
 For all incremental RS422, 5V-TTL or 10 to 30 V HTL encoders and sensors
 The optical fiber cable can be routed through explosive areas as well
 Input / Output data rate of max. 2 Mbit/s (transmitter and receiver)
 Resistant against extremely strong electromagnetic fields
 Already assembled optical fiber cables are available
 Power supply either 5 VDC or 10 to 30 VDC
