Industrial grade optical fiber network applications
In the current application of industrial network systems, enterprises' own needs for global production data, network speed growth, electronic networks, cost reduction, and improved adaptability to changing business needs are more significant, including:
Network control, information system is very important, network failure or interruption is disastrous;
Industrial control network is more and more huge, more and more network nodes;
Industrial Ethernet operating environment and office applications of the mix, there are many engineering applications such as large CAD, chart files and other bandwidth requirements;
Time sensitive real-time data, process control, etc. 7*24 needs
Therefore, how to better meet and adapt to the new demand and development, become the industrial network needs to be solved and changed.
Due to the Ethernet is the most widely in electronic data processing system of communication technology, can very well and office network (the most extensive office network) integration, combined with an open protocol and platforms, extending the office network to machinery, equipment or sensors, make it possible for vertical integration and accord with the requirement of future network development characteristics is to promote the development of industrial Ethernet.
Industrial Ethernet refers to the use of Ethernet protocol for communication transmission, control of automatic equipment and production machinery in the industrial environment. Unlike office networks, industrial customers face a more complex environment that includes:
Mechanical environment: collision, vibration, tensile strength, bending, toughness, extrusion, impact, the system is required to have invasion protection grade, protection grade, etc
Electromagnetic noise: electromagnetic interference/radio frequency interference, electromagnetic emission, electromagnetic conduction, conducted radiation generated by motor, welding, transformer, radar, radio, etc
Extreme harsh environment: including installation and operating ambient temperature, thermal shock, uv resistance, pollution and chemical environment containing corrosive air or dangerous liquid, high temperature process or extreme temperature, etc
At present, industrial network users are mainly those industries with high demand for production automation, such as:
Automatic factory: automobile industry, machinery, material transportation, etc.
Automatic process: chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, water and sewage treatment, refining plant, petrochemical, pulp/paper, mining, etc.
Automated transportation: automated transportation, tunnels and Bridges, shipbuilding, shipping, subways, rail transit, pipelines, etc
Use the factory testing, early termination of the optical fiber system in advance, plug and play system installation link no special fiber optic tools and professional tools, using standard tools or free tool operation can complete system installation, operation early termination downward cable replaces the traditional fusion fiber, optical cable joint box, grinding equipment and so forth many equipment and the traveler, The connection between optical fiber branch point and distribution cable is accelerated, and the installation and deployment time of wiring system is shortened by more than half. All components are factory-tested, resulting in perfect reliability and risk avoidance, eliminating network failures caused by field terminations and mid-span cable access, and improving the overall system's risk resistance.
OptiTipTM MT fiber optic connectors, designed for harsh industrial environments, meet IP68 standards and are completely dustproof and waterproof; It conforms to THE GR-3152 standard and enhances the reliability and robustness of system transmission. Industrial environment distribution center chose designed for production and industry should use environmental EDC product series, as part of the cable wiring solutions, EDC product series is used to store in the indoor or outdoor environment and protect optical fiber connection and joint, besides industry enclosure can be installed in the standard, and easy to assemble on the walls and the pole, can satisfy the demands of harsh environment, The scope of application can be extended to include industrial production and process control, maritime, safety or traffic control applications. Special materials are used to ensure excellent chemical and temperature properties, NEMA 4X or IEC IP66 rating, and good protection against corrosive gases, rain, snow or dust.
