Fig. 8.3-1 Example of an application for the SIMOLINK switch
♦ The transfer medium is a fiber-optic cable. Either glass or plastic
fiber-optic cables can be used.
♦ SIMOLINK has the structure of a ring of fiber-optic cables where
each node acts as a signal amplifier.
♦ Thus, the following distances can be realized, depending on the
selected medium:
• max. 40 m between each node on a plastic fiber-optic cable or
• max. 300 m between each node on a glass-fiber-optic cable.
♦ Up to 201 active nodes
