Ethernet Australia announces the launch of the new EOTec 2000 multi-node
MX multiplexers from Ultra Electronics.
Providing excellent fault tolerance and greater network reliability, Ultra’s
new EOTec 2000 multi-node MX multiplexers are designed to transmit up to 16
input channels. The new Ultra multi-node multiplexers also have unlimited
output channels from 2 nodes up to 256 nodes over a pair of fibre optic cables
with input/output module selections that include 4-20mA, 0-10Vdc and contact
closure.
By supporting multiple nodes, Ultra multi-node multiplexers allow users to
build daisy chain or self-healing ring topologies, which provide fault
tolerance and greater network reliability.
The base unit connects directly to the fibre optic cable via Small
Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers and provides visual indicators for
power, global alarm, and module status as well as the fibre link status.
Input/output configuration is derived via a one-time DIP switch
configuration with power supplied through redundant external 24VDC power supply
terminals. No specialist expertise is required to commission or maintain the
equipment beyond setting a few DIP switches.
