530E SERIES
Fiber Optic Add-Drop Data Network Systems
"Add-Drop Serial Data Modem"

"Our data network products are diversified, reliable, and economical."

The 530E is a high performance Fiber Optic Multi-Drop Data Network System capable of interconnecting multiple devices fitted with RS-232 or RS-485. The 530E supports either linear bus (531 Series) or ring (532 Series) network architecture over long distance through one or two pair of singlemode or multimode fiber. Asynchronous data rate is up to 128kbps. Many versions of optical transmitters and receivers can be used in the 530E to address different distance requirements.

The master unit, connected to a host computer, can be placed at the end or in the middle of a pair of fiber optic cables with all the slave units daisy chained through the fiber optic cable. The optical signal from upstream and downstream are decoded and re-transmitted at each node. Additionally, a second master unit can be placed at the other end of the fiber optic cable as a backup master. In the event of cable breakage or equipment failure, the backup master can start polling the remote units from the opposite direction.

The 530E Series is available with two packaging configurations: a rugged, standalone, and compact unit, or a plug-in card for a card cage system. Panel connectors are provided for data (DB25 connector) and fiber connection (SC-type for singlemode and ST-type for multimode fibers). The 530E Series can be easily monitored by LED indicators for power, optical link, and data channel activity. The standalone units are powered by +12 VDC.

Due to its flexible design, the 530E is capable of addressing a variety of non-standard configurations. Contact us to discuss your custom, OEM/private brand and high volume requirements.
