The Schneider Electric 490NRP95400 is a critical component for industrial automation systems that require reliable communication over long distances. Here’s a breakdown of its key functions and features:

Type: Industrial-grade fiber optic repeater

Function: Extends the reach of your industrial network by regenerating and amplifying optical signals. This allows communication between remote I/O devices and controllers spread across large facilities.

Benefits

• Long-distance communication: Enables data transmission over kilometers of fiber optic cable, ideal for sprawling industrial plants.
• Signal integrity: Maintains strong signal strength for reliable data transfer, reducing errors and ensuring system uptime.
• Reduced EMI/RFI susceptibility: Fiber optic technology is immune to electromagnetic interference, common in industrial environments, for cleaner communication.

Applications

• Connecting remote I/O modules to a central controller
• Extending network segments across buildings or production lines
• Creating redundant network paths for increased system availability

Typical Specifications:

• Supported protocols: RIO (Remote I/O)
• Compatible controllers: Modicon Quantum series
• Fiber optic cable types: Multimode or single-mode
• Transmission distance: Up to several kilometers
