Although the low bandwidth and large voltage swing of digital I/O signals make them essentially less sensitive to external noise than for example serial data signals, in some case the operating conditions necessitate transmission procedures which are completely resistant to noise effects along the transmission line.
Glass fibers used as a transmission medium meet these requirements ideally while also offering the advantage of galvanic isolation up to virtually any level between the connected devices. In installations which are subject to the risk of severe weather conditions, such as in outdoor locations or between distant buildings, such a solution ensures a permanently reliable connection even under adverse conditions.
Wiesemann & Theis offers a whole family of various glass fiber interfaces which allow conversion of standard interfaces into an optical interface for connecting glass fiber cable.
The W&T Digital-I/O Extender Sets, which carry the digital I/O signals over glass fiber optic cable using a multiplexing procedure, are described on the following pages along with the technical data and connection examples.
Up-to-date information about new product developments can be found in the Internet at http://www.wut.de or in the e-mail updates from the W&T Interface Club, which you can sign up for on the W&T homepage.

Digital-I/O Extender Set, Model 17633
Function
The W&T Digital-I/O Extender Set, Model 17633 enables sending of digital I/O signals bi-directionally over a glass fiber optic cable.
The set consists of two digital-I/O <> glass fiber optic converters and supports two I/O channels in each direction. A special communications protocol between the converters is used for transmitting over the glass fiber optic cable, so that the converters can only be used in pairs.
Power Supply
The signal converters are powered by an integrated switched regulator. This regulator has a variable input voltage range and enables powering of the converters by using any DC or AC voltage between 12 and 24 volts. The supply voltage is reverse polarity protected and can be implemented on the underside of the converters using the included plug-in 2-pole screw terminal.
Galvanic Isolation
Within the signal converters the I/O connections are galvanically isolated from the supply voltage up to min. 1000 V using a DC/DC converter. The level of galvanic isolation between the two converters and thereby between the I/O terminal points is determined primarily by the length of the glass fiber optic cable used.
Page 6
W&T Digital-I/O Extender Sets
Housing
The Digital-I/O <> glass fiber optic are integrated inside a housing for mounting on DIN rails. To configure the cable break behavior you must open the Interface housing so that the DIL switches on the Digital-I/O Interface Module are accessible. To do this, slide the housing cover with the attached circuit board out of the housing body by grabbing the ST connector.
Glass Fiber Interface
Common ST connectors are used for connecting the glass fiber optic cable. A version with SMA connectors is also available as a special on request.
The light used for data transmission has a wavelength of 820 nm. Common 50/125 µm or 62,5/125 µm multimode duplex glass fiber optic cable is used, which thanks to its wide use in networking is easily available and inexpensive. This means that even existing glass fiber optic sections which are intended for use in networks can be used for sending digital signals. Depending on the attenuation factor of the glass fiber optic cable used, data transmission over distances of up to 3800 meters is possible.
Digital-I/O Port
The Digital-I/O Port is configured as a plug-in 3.5mm terminal block so that the connected in- and outputs can be disconnected from the signal converter at any time without having to unscrew anything.
All digital inputs use overvoltage-rated components to protect against transients which exceed the permissible input voltage of the inputs.

Driver chips are used for the digital outputs which provide integrated protection against short circuit, overload and thermal destruction.
LEDs and Terminal Assignments
The converter features two LED’s, with the Power LED indica­ting correct supply voltage. The Data LED is not connected.
The configuration of the signal and supply terminals and the pin configuration of the interfaces can be found on the device label as well as in the following illustration:

Supply Voltage Input
The supply voltage is connected to the screw terminals on the underside of the housing.
Any desired voltage of 12V to 24V can be used for power. Since the signal converters can be operated with DC or AC voltage, no special precautions are necessary with respect to the polarity of the supply voltage.
The Vdd terminal on the front side supplies only the switching outputs and must be connected to a DC voltage.

Digital Outputs
The basic wiring of the switching outputs for the Digital-IO Extender Set can be seen in the following illustration:
The two digital outputs of the Digital-I/O Extenders are current sourcing. The supply voltage for the outputs may be between +6 V and +30 V DC and is provided at terminals Vdd and GND.
Each of the outputs can switch a maximum current of 0.5A. If loads with an inductive component (e.g. relays, contactors, solenoids etc.) need to be switched, the outputs must be additionally protected using recovery diodes.
The outputs have thermal overload protection and are short circuit protected. In the OFF state a very low current of approx. 10µA is used to check whether the outputs are switched to a load. If LEDs are connected to the outputs, this can result in a slight glow even in the rest state.

W&T Digital-I/O Extender Sets
When sizing the output voltage supply, the required current must always be taken into consideration. If the selected voltage for supplying the loads varies between 12V and 24V DC, the signal converter and the switched loads can be supplied from the same source.
Cable break behavior
Should the glass fiber connection be interrupted or if the glass fiber cable is not connected, the default response is for all digital outputs to go directly to the Off state. A different response can be configured individually for each channel using DIL switches inside the unit. Simply set the DIL switches for the corresponding in- and outputs in both Digital-I/O <> Glass Fiber converters to ON. The names of the DIL switches In1, In2, Out1 and Out2 can be found on the circuit board near the switch.
To change for example the cable break behavior of the first I/O channel, set DIL switch In1 on the first inter­face AND DIL switch Out1 on the second interface to ON. Now when there is a cable break or the glass fiber cable is dis connected, the output goes directly to the ON state.
In this way each of the four channels can be configured individually as desired.
Note: Changing the setting of a DIL switch on only one Interface causes the signal to be sent inverted. When voltage is present on the input the corresponding output is turned off.

Function
The W&T Digital-I/O Extender Set 8x8, Model 17634 enables sending of up to 16 digital I/O signals over a glass fiber optic cable.
The set consists of two digital-I/O <> glass fiber optic converters and supports eight I/O channels in each direction. A special safety communications protocol between the converters is used for transmitting over the glass fiber optic cable, so that the converters can only be used in pairs.
System security
The W&T Digital-I/O Extender Set 8x8 is a full hardware implementation, so that the risk of a malfunction caused by hidden firmware errors or a system crash is precluded.
The functionality of the glass fiber optic connection is cycli cally monitored. The status of the connection is indicated by an LED and by a signal on a switching output.
In addition, the default status of the digital outputs should the fiber optic line fail can be individually configured for each output.

Power Supply
The converters have a common power supply for the interface electronics and the digital outputs. The electronics is supplied by an integrated switching regulator with a wide-range input, so that the device can be operated at any desired voltage between 8 and 30V DC. AC powering is not possible. The supply voltage is brought to the front-mounted 6-pin plug-in panel connector on terminals Vdd and GND.
Galvanic isolation
The amount of galvanic isolation between the two converters and thereby between the I/O end points is determined solely by the length of the fiber optic cable and the interface supply voltage.
