The use of fiber optic technology to replace copper communications cable provides many advantages for industrial control applications. In addition to EMI/RFI immunity, the ability to run fiber optic cable through hazardous areas and long distance communications runs, another benefit of fiber is the ability to achieve media redundancy without incurring the cost of duplicate hardware systems. By using Weed Instrument’s Self-Healing Ring (SHR) Modules, a critical system can achieve uninterrupted communications in the event of a failure in the fiber optic communications lines.
