HFBR-2505A

SERCOS
SERCOS, an acronym for SErial Realtime COmmunications System, is a standard digital interface for communication in industrial CNC applications. SERCOS is a European (EN 61491) and international standard (IEC 61491). The optical interface allows data rates of 2, 4, 8, and 16 MBd and data transfer between numerical controls and drives via fiber-optic rings, with voltage isolation and noise immunity. The HFBR- 1505A and HFBR-2505A products comply with SERCOS specifications for optical characteristics and connector style, and have guaranteed performance up to 10 MBd. (Typically the 16 MBd required by SERCOS is possible as well but please contact Agilent regarding the plan for the 16 MBd device.)

PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS, an acronym of PROcess FIeld BUS, is an open fieldbus standard defined for data rates ranging from 9.6 kBd to 12 MBd in selectable steps for wire and optical fiber. PROFIBUS is a German national DIN 19245 standard and a European CENELEC standard EN 50170.The ST® connector is the recommended optical port of the PROFIBUS optical fiber version but other connectors are allowed as well. The HFBR- 1505A and HFBR-2505A  comply fully to the technical guideline using Plastic Optical Fiber up to 6 MBd, and have a guaranteed performance at data rates up to 10 MBd. (Typically the 12 MBd is possible as well, but please contact Agilent regarding the plan for the 12 MBd device.)

INTERBUS-S
INTERBUS-S, a special open Sensor/Actuator Bus, is finding a broad acceptance in the factory automation industry. The HFBR- 1505A and HFBR-2505A  were specially designed for this application and can be used with 1 mm POF and 200 mm HCS fiber at the specified data rates of 500 kBd and 2 MBd. The optical transmission guideline is a supplement of the German National DIN E 19258 standard draft. On the European level,prEN 50254 is the draft of the INTERBUS-S fieldbus.
