Network & Communication

The ComNet FDC8 Series contact closure transmitter and receiver provides transmission of up to eight independent contact closures over one RS232 link or optical fiber. Microprocessor-based logic sends the contact information in packets that are ordered and encoded, ensuring extremely robust transmission. Packets that are garbled, packets out of sequence, and transmission bit errors will not cause random changes of state on the contact relays. Also, the mechanical latching relays maintain their state even when the unit loses power. Each module incorporates power and individual status indicating LEDs for monitoring confirmation of contact closure of each of the eight channels. These units are interchangeable between stand-alone or card mount configurations.

Features for FDC8 Series

• Point-to-Point architecture
• Designed to meet full compliance with the environmental requirements (ambient operating temperature, mechanical shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/low-line voltage conditions, and transient voltage protection) of NEMA TS-1/TS-2 and the Caltrans Specification for Traffic Signal Control Equipment.
• SPST latching relays
• Microprocessor-based logic and latching relays in receiver unit eliminate random contact closure status in the event of loss of link or loss of prime operating power.

Applications

• Alarm Event Triggering
• Building Automation and Environmental Control Systems
• Fire and Alarm Systems
• Gate Control
• PIR Signal Transmission

The ComNet TM FDX2HSD(M,S)(1,2)(EA,EB)/M data transceivers provide point-to- point or drop-and-repeat transmission of two independent simplex or duplex high-speed RS485 (2W) data signals over one optical fiber. The transceivers are transparent to data encoding allowing for broad-range compatibility. Models within this series are available for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber and feature built-in DIP switch-selectable bias and termination resistors for each data channel. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation requiring no electrical or optical adjustments. Each transceiver incorporates bi-color (Red/Green) indicating LEDs for monitoring proper system operation, including the location of fiber breaks. The FDX2HSD/M units are medium size surface mount modules, and they may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet DIN rail adaptor plate (model DINBKT1, sold separately).

The ComNet™ FDX4D(M)(S)1 Series data transceiver series provide transmission of four bi-directional data channels over one optical fiber and are ideal for use in unconditioned roadside or out-of-plant installations. The data channels can be set independently for RS232, RS422 and 2 or 4-wire RS485 with tri-state support. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever required. Bi-color (Red/Green) LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment operating status. Packaged in the exclusive ComNet ComFit housing, these units may be either wall or rack-mounted, or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet model DINBKT1 adaptor plate.
