THE I-2532 CAN TO FIBER CONVERTER
Quick Start User Guide
1. Introduction
Fiber optic transmission medium is a good material to protect data transmission from EMI/RFI interference and has been used in harsh environment extensively. CAN bus is famous in industrial application. More and more users build CAN networks to communicate their controllers, sensors and actuators. In order to solve the problem between different transmission medium, I-2532 is specially designed for converting the electrical CAN bus signal to fiber optic cables.
The fiber length between two I-2532s can be up to 1.4km (4593ft), it is mainly decided by the cable attenuation of fiber and the CAN bus baud. I- 2532 is the economic solution for applications which require protecting the data transmission from electrical exposure, surges, lightning or chemical corrosion. Generally, I-2532 can be used in CANopen, DeviceNet and all the other CAN network which follows the ISO 11898-2 standard.
