Introduction

The ICF-1280I industrial PROFIBUS-to-fiber converters are used to convert PROFIBUS signals from copper to optical fiber. The converters are

used to extend serial transmission up to 4 km (multi-mode fiber) or up to 45 km (single-mode fiber). The ICF-1280I Series provides 2 kV isolation

protection for the PROFIBUS system and dual power inputs to ensure that your PROFIBUS device will perform uninterrupted.

Remote Fiber Diagnosis

Optical fiber cables are often deployed for long-distance communication and a fiber-optic inspection pen is used by engineers to ensure proper

communication quality of the fiber cable. The ICF-1280I Series eliminates the need for a fiber-optic inspection pen by providing a Remote Fiber

Diagnosis function that uses DIP switch adjustments.

There are two major functions provided by Remote Fiber Diagnosis: (1) determining which side (Tx or Rx) is causing the problem on the converter;

(2) examining the fiber connections for the overall topology from any individual converter. Fiber cable abnormalities can be automatically detected

and identified by the LED indicator even if it is not adjacent to the converter. Remote Fiber Diagnosis facilitates fiber cable deployment and

management, and also significantly shortens troubleshooting time by examining fiber connections for the overall topology from any individual

converter.

Redundant Ring

The ICF-1280I Series of converters can connect PROFIBUS devices in

a redundant fiber ring topology. Use the DIP switch to configure all

the ICF- 1280I converters to redundant ring mode. When a PROFIBUS

master transmits a signal from one converter to the PROFIBUS slave

devices, this signal will travel to all the converters around the ring

until it returns to the original converter and terminate. The redundant

ring structure ensures no packet loss with zero recovery time.

PROFIBUS Fail-safe Electrical noise may be generated when a PROFIBUS device malfunctions or the serial interface fails, resulting in bus failure. Traditional media converters transmit noise signals through the fiber wire to the other converter. This not only disrupts data communication between the two buses, but will also bring communication across the entire system to a halt. When this occurs, the engineers will not be able to easily locate the failed device because the entire PROFIBUS network is down.
