MOXA Industrial Media Converter IMC-101, which is specially designed for reliable and stable operation in harsh industrial environments, provides industrial grade media conversion between 10/100BaseT(X) and 100BaseFX. Its reliable industrial design is excellent for keeping your industrial automation applications running continuously, and comes with a relay ouput warning alarm to help prevent damage and loss.
IMC-101 has been designed for use in harsh industrial environments, such as in hazardous locations (class 1 division 2 or zone 2), and complies with FCC, TÜV, UL, and CE standards. The IMC-101 Series is available in models that support an operating temperature of 0 to 60°C, and an extended operating temperature of -40 to 75°C. In addition, IMC-101 products are subjected to a 100% burn-in test, guaranteeing that they can be used in industrial automation control environments.
Link Fault Pass-Through
IMC-101's "Link Fault Pass-Through" feature overcomes a problem encountered when using traditional media converters. The problem is this. When one side of the link fails, the other side continues transmitting packets, and then waits for a response that never arrives from the disconnected side. What IMC-101 does is force the link to shut down as soon as it notices that the other link has failed, giving the application software a chance to react to the situation.
Redundant Power Inputs
IMC-101 provides two power inputs that can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. If one power input fails, the other source acts as a backup, and automatically satisfies IMC-101's power needs.
Relay Output Alarm by Port Break, Power Failure
IMC-101 provides relay contact outputs to warn technicians on the shop floor when the power fails or a port link is disconnected, so they can respond quickly with appropriate emergency operation procedures.
