Optical Data Transfer Unit

Space Optical Data Transfer Unit provide a means to transfer data between points thru. Near-infrared rays without laying cable.

There are different communication options available;

Parallel communication
Ethernet
CC-Link

Since light is used as a transmission medium, there is no chance that data transmission is disturbed by electromagnetic field.

Space Optical Transfer Unit (Parallel type)
SOT-NP / SOT-FP series

SOT-NP40 / NP80 series
Parallel 4bit / 8bit type

The following models are available.

SOT-NP401 / 403 Parallel 4bit, Transmission distance 1m / 3m
SOT-NP801 / 803 Parallel 8bit, Transmission distance 1m / 3m
SOT-FP801 / 803 / 805 *1) Parallel 8bit, Transmission distance 1m / 3m / 5m
*1) SEMI E84 compliant.

The parallel type space optical transfer unit allows a pair of devices to transmit and receive data alternately in the half duplex, bi-directional mode.
Space Optical Transfer unit is widely used in transmitting control signals for Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) and other applications.
