PP-OPT Series RS232C /OpticalConverter

Manufacturer: Datalink
Model: PP-OPT Series

Features

Device-to-device communication distance can be extended up to 10 km using a commercially available single mode optical cable (DSC or SC+SC)
RS232C/RS422/USB (COM) optical converter designed for harsh FA environments, with protection against lightning surges and electrostatic discharge
Optical fiber reduces malfunctions and device damage caused by inductive lightning and external electrical noise
PP232-OPT supports bidirectional conversion of TXD (RXD), RTS (CTS), and DTR (DSR) for RS232C optical communication
Compatible with control-line devices such as Mitsubishi sequencers and Omron PLCs
PP422-OPT does not convert DTR (DSR)
PP422T-OPT converts only TXD (RXD)
Maximum communication speed is 115.2 kbps
(PPUSB-OPT supports virtual COM port communication via USB)
Power supply must be provided by the customer for PP232-OPT, PP422-OPT, and PP422T-OPT (input voltage: DC6V to DC24V)
Dedicated AC adapter for AC100V input is available separately
PPUSB-OPT is powered by the connected PC
RoHS compliant
Can be mounted on a DIN rail using an optional DIN rail mounting bracket
Optical converters are widely used in:
Factory automation (PLC connections)
Medical equipment (e.g., MRI)
Transportation infrastructure (e.g., signal control systems)
Energy applications (e.g., photovoltaic power generation monitoring)

Optical converter that uses optical fiber to extend communication distance for RS232C, RS422, and USB (COM) interfaces
Long-distance transmission: Supports communication up to 10 km using optical fiber, overcoming the limitations of copper wire
Multiple interface combinations: RS232C, RS422, and USB (COM) ports can be freely combined (9 possible combinations)
High reliability: Ensures stable communication even in environments with heavy electrical noise, such as factory automation, medical equipment, and energy monitoring systems
Strong resistance to electromagnetic noise: Optical fiber inherently blocks lightning surges and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
OS compatibility: Supports Windows 7 through Windows 11
