Our Profibus DP to FO converters can be used to interconnect two Profibus networks or devices over a long distance.
Our Profibus DP to FO converters can be used as peer-peer modems / multi drop / self healing ring transmission type network architecture.
Our converters provide a reliable solution for extending Profibus DP communication beyond the limitations of conventional copper cabling. By utilizing fiber optic transmission, they eliminate problems caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), ground potential differences, and electrical noise commonly found in industrial environments. This ensures stable and error-free communication even in factories, process plants, substations, power generation facilities, and other electrically noisy applications. The converters are suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects, allowing existing Profibus DP devices to be connected over longer distances without modifying the network architecture. They are easy to install, require minimal configuration, and maintain complete transparency to the Profibus network, ensuring seamless communication between connected devices while improving system reliability and network availability. The converters support deterministic Profibus DP communication while maintaining high signal integrity over fiber optic links, making them ideal for mission-critical industrial automation applications where uninterrupted network performance 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-PRO-P2M | Multi-Mode | 2 (TX And RX) | 2 Km | Peer to Peer |
| HFB-FO-PROP2S | Single Mode | 2 (TX And RX) | 20 Km | Peer to Peer |
| HFB-FO-PRO-R4M | Multi-Mode | 4 (TX-RX From Previous Node And TX-RX Going To Following Node) | 2 Km | Redundant Ring |
| HFB-FO-PRO-R4S | Single Mode | 4 (TX-RX From Previous Node And TX-RX Going To Following Node) | 20 Km | Redundant Ring |
