ComNet 8-Channel Supervised Contact Closure Transmitter

The ComNet™ FDC80 Series contact closure transmitter and receiver units provide transmission of up to eight independent supervised or unsupervised dry switch or relay contact closures over a single optical fiber, or any two-wire RS-485 copper circuit. Microprocessor-based logic transmits the contact closure information in packets that are ordered and encoded, ensuring extremely robust and reliable transmission. Packets that are garbled, or packets out of sequence with transmission bit errors will not cause random changes of state in the FDC80R receiver unit relays. The supervising function in the FDC80T transmitter allows for the detection of short and open circuit conditions, ...
