Avago Technologies' Industrial Fast Ethernet Transceivers Selected by Phoenix Contact, Siemens.Market Leaders in Industrial Automation, Automotive Automation Use World's First Fiber Optic Module With Advanced Diagnostics (DMI (Desktop Management Interface) The first desktop management standard from the DMTF. Enabling PCs to be monitored from a central console, it was superseded by the DMTF's Common Information Model (see CIM). ) Technology for Industrial Networking MUNICH, Germany -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced its industrial Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. optical transceivers based on the AFBR-5978Z have been selected by Phoenix Contact and Siemens. Avago is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. The AFBR-5978Z is the industry's only industrial Fast Ethernet optical transceiver to incorporate digital diagnostic monitoring The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

The DMI feature permits real-time monitoring of transceiver performance and system stability, even in cross-continent installations, resulting in higher factory network uptime. Because of its superior immunity characteristics from electrical "noise," Plastic Optical Fiber Plastic optical fiber (POF) is an optical fiber which is made out of plastic. traditionally PMMA (acrylic) is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material. (POF POF Piano dell'Offerta Formativa (Italy) POF Piano dell'Offerta Formativa (Italian school document) POF Plastic Optical Fiber POF Premature Ovarian Failure (early menopause) ) is an attractive alternative to copper in industrial and automotive automated applications. "Fiber optic transmission has many advantages in the industrial field," said Roland Berg, senior research and development manager at Phoenix Contact, a market leader of industrial connection, automation, electronic interface and surge protection See surge suppression and traffic surge protection. technologies. "Avago has designed its high-speed optical transceiver with superior link distances and easy device integration. Additionally, the transceiver's optimized transmission diagnostics enable us to provide customers with a world-class product for industrial networking needs." Industrial Fast Ethernet represents an upgrade path for Fieldbus networks and other proprietary Industrial networking protocols, with a speed of up to 125 MBd compared to 2 MBd for Interbus, 12 MBd for Profibus, and 16 MBd for SERCOS SERCOS - serial real-time communications system ["More choices link motors and drives to controls", by L. Langnau. Power Transmission Design, vol. 37, no. 7, pp. 33-36]. . It provides the open-architecture, multi-protocol interface that permits both standard and proprietary Fieldbuses to interoperate. Upgrading to industrial Fast Ethernet allows devices on the factory floor to be assigned IP or MAC addresses, enabling high-speed remote diagnostics Vehicle Diagnostics Vehicle diagnostics enables a mechanic to diagnose the exact mechanical condition of the vehicle and its systems and components. Remote Diagnostics enables to perform such diagnosis without requiring the vehicle to physically be present for checkup. and machine sequence changes via Internet and VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. access. Avago's AFBR-5978Z1 industrial Fast Ethernet transceiver is ideal for high-output factory automated production lines, automotive production lines and power generation/distribution market segments. "Top-tier manufacturers like Phoenix Contact and Siemens require consistent, high-performing optical transceivers to transmit data at fast Ethernet speeds in various industrial applications," said Raymond Quek, general manager of Avago's Industrial Fiber Products Division. "As the leading supplier of Ethernet fiber optic transceivers, customers can rely on Avago to deliver products in volume with uncompromising quality and the shortest lead times." Avago will demonstrate its industrial Fast Ethernet technologies at booth #243 located in Hall A4 at Electronica this week in Munich from Nov. 14-17, 2006.
