Our DeviceNet – FO converter can be used to interconnect two DeviceNet networks or devices over a long distance.
Our DeviceNet – FO converter can be used as peer-peer modems / multi drop / self healing ring transmission type network architecture.
Our DeviceNet – FO converter provides reliable and high-speed communication over fiber optic cables, eliminating issues caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), electrical noise, and ground potential differences commonly found in industrial environments. By extending DeviceNet communication over fiber, it ensures stable data transmission while protecting connected equipment from electrical surges and harsh operating conditions.
The converter is ideal for connecting PLCs, remote I/O systems, sensors, actuators, drives, and other DeviceNet-enabled equipment located across different buildings, production lines, substations, or industrial facilities. It supports seamless integration without requiring changes to the existing DeviceNet network, making installation simple and cost-effective. The fiber optic link also enhances network reliability, reduces maintenance requirements, and enables secure communication over extended distances. With support for multiple network topologies, the converter offers a flexible solution for industrial automation, manufacturing plants, process industries, water treatment facilities, energy management systems, and other mission-critical applications where uninterrupted DeviceNet communication is essential.
Depending on the type of fiber (multi mode or single mode), distance and network topology we have the following models available:
| Model Number | Fiber type | No. of Fibers | Max distance between FO nodes | Connection Topology |
| HFB-FO-DEV-P2M | Multi-Mode | 2 (TX And RX) | 2 Km | Peer to Peer |
| HFB-FO-DEV-P2S | Single Mode | 2 (TX And RX) | 20 Km | Peer to Peer |
| HFB-FO-DEV-R4M | Multi-Mode | 4 (TX-RX From Previous Node and TX-RX Going to Following Node) | 2 Km | Redundant Ring |
| HFB-FO-DEV-R4S | Single Mode | 4 (TXRX From Previous Node and TX-RX Going To Following Node) | 20 Km | Redundant Ring |
