New EOTec Analog I/O System from Weed Instrument Company

Weed Instrument Company now offers a new release of its fiber optic analog data link in the popular EOTec 2000 modular platform. The fiber optic analog data link provides highly reliable, lightning immune transmissions of 4-20mA and 0-10VDC data signals over a single fiber optic cable. It is an ideal solution for long run cable problems with an accuracy of 0.1%. The operational temperature range is –40 to 85°C.

The FOT/FOR (fiber optic transmitter/fiber optic receiver) will accept power from a 120/240VAC power source when using the EOTec 2A56 power supply, or from an external 24VDC power source connected directly to a screw terminal (as shown in the above photo using both configurations). Each transceiver has a single optical port for use with multi-mode or single mode optical fibers at 850 nm or 1300 nm using industrialized ST/SMA connectors. Optional external indicators are available for local monitoring of the input/output signals.

Applications for this device include long distance transmissions, lightning prone areas and transmissions through hazardous areas.
