Description
Leuze Sensor DDLS 200 with 2?Mbit/s transmission rate
Leuze Sensor DDLS 200 optical data transceiver from Leuze electronic transmits data from industrial networks via infrared light without contact or wear. Transmission is fast, deterministic and immune to interference. The method of function is absolutely transparent: This means that the optical data transceiver does not represent a participant on a given network, but rather handles data communication without intervening in the communication process. Thus, it functions as reliably and as simply as a copper cable.
- The optical data transceivers are used primarily in plant engineering, especially in applications where industrial networks such as PROFIBUS, DeviceNet or Ethernet etc. are transmitted to system components which are moved. Examples include high-bay storage devices, gantry crane bridges or side-tracking skates.
- The DDLS 200 supports all of the major international interfaces
- Infrared data transmission protects the DDLS 200 from interference.
- The fast transmission rates and enormous operating ranges of up to 500 m make the DDLS 200 an essential centrepiece in modern plant engineering.
Core Operational Principles
Infrared Optical Link: Transmits high-speed industrial ethernet or fieldbus data bidirectionally over an invisible infrared light beam ($850\text{ nm}$).
Contactless Data Bridge: Operates point-to-point without mechanical contact, eliminating mechanical stress, cable drag, and radio-frequency (RF) interference common in wireless LAN setups.
Real-Time Data Transmission: The $2\text{ Mbit/s}$ transmission bandwidth supports continuous fieldbus protocols (such as PROFIBUS DP, INTERBUS, or specialized Ethernet variants) with low latency over long distances.
