Ultra Electronics EOTec 2000 Multi-Node MX multiplexer

The EOTec 2000 Multi-Node MX Multiplexer from Ultra Electronics is designed to transmit up to 16 input channels.

The device has unlimited output channels from 2 nodes up to 256 nodes over a pair of fibre-optic cables with input/output module selections that include 4-20 mA, 0-10 VDC and contact closure.

The multiplexer supports multiple nodes, so users can build daisy chain or self-healing ring topologies, which provide fault tolerance and good network reliability.

The base unit connects directly to the fibre-optic cable via small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers and provides visual indicators for power, global alarm and module status as well as the fibre link status.

Input/output configuration is derived via a one-time dip-switch configuration with power supplied through redundant external 24 VDC power supply terminals.

Applications include remote data acquisition, emissions monitoring, data and signal transmission - in lightning-prone locations, hazardous areas, tank gauging and conveyors.
