Fiber optic cable in RIO Configuration

[natarajand]

Hai,
i am working in a control panel manufacturing company.
for our redundancy system using AB SLC 5/03 we require to provide High speed Fiber optic cables between I/O racks and PLC. Anybody can give note on how to establish communication between CPU & I/O Racks using fiber cable.

I haven't used these, but they look like they might be what you are looking for.

We've had great luck with Phoenix Digital modules. We use them in the PLC-5 chassis and the SLC chassis. The PLC-5 modules we use can be dip switch configured to communicate DH+ or RIO and I'm fairly certain that the SLC modules are the same. We started out using the AB 1771-AF1 modules but they are really behind the technology now. Go to www.phoenixdigitalcorp.com and check out the Phoenix modules.
