The OPTopus PROFIBUS Optical Link from Systeme Helmholz GmbH is a full PROFIBUS repeater with an integrated FO interface. The OPTopus permits transmission rates of 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps on the PROFIBUS with automatic detection of the baud rate. With its optical signal transmission, it offers complete electrical isolation between the PROFIBUS stations and PROFIBUS subnetworks. A further advantage of the OPTopus is its insensitivity to EMC influences.
Because of its compact design, no additional space in the control cabinet is required for deployment because the OPTopus PROFIBUS Optical Link can be used instead of a PROFIBUS connector and is simply plugged into a station in the PROFIBUS network. Moreover, no separate power supply is required because the OPTopus uses the 5 V power supply that every PROFIBUS device provides for the terminating resistor.
