Product Short Description
Product Name: Series 8 Fiber Optic I/O Link Extender Module
Product Overview:
A high‑performance fiber‑optic extender that converts the Honeywell Experion PKS C300 Series 8 I/O copper link (Combo Cable) to single‑mode fiber, enabling long‑distance, interference‑free communication between the C300 controller and remotely located Series 8 I/O cabinets, with full 1:1 redundancy.

Functional Features:
-
Long‑Distance Extension – Extends I/O link up to tens of kilometers over fiber.
-
Redundant Fiber Links – Two independent fiber paths for fault‑tolerant operation.
-
Immunity to EMI – Optical media eliminates electrical noise interference.
-
Hot‑Swappable – Module replacement without controller shutdown.
-
Seamless C300 Integration – Plugs directly into Series 8 I/O Termination Assembly (IOTA).
Application Scenarios: Cross‑unit/cross‑building DCS communication, remote I/O cabinets in oil & gas refineries, power plants, chemical facilities, high‑EMI areas (motor centers, substations), hazardous‑classified zones.
Working Principle: Converts the electrical I/O Link protocol from the C300 controller into optical signals for transmission over single‑mode fiber; the remote end converts back to electrical for the I/O modules. Redundant links provide automatic failover.
Installation Requirements: Insert into the designated slot of the Series 8 I/O rack; connect the Combo Cable from the C300; install LC‑duplex single‑mode patch cords to the remote fiber infrastructure; ensure 24 V DC power from the IOTA.
Usage Notes: Verify fiber type (single‑mode) and wavelength compatibility; clean fiber connectors before mating; never look directly into the fiber port when energized.
