Product Description

The FM221 (Part Number: 00012200-10) is a dual-port FASTBUS Master fiber optic communication module for the Bachmann M1 system. It enables a single processor to manage multiple remote substations over long distances, providing full galvanic isolation and immunity to EMI.

With two independent optical ports, the FM221 supports daisy-chain or star network topologies, ensuring real-time data synchronization across distributed automation systems.

FAQ

What is the difference between FM221 and FM211?
FM221 has two optical ports for flexible network branching, while FM211 has a single FASTBUS link.

Can I use standard POF?
No. FM221 is optimized for HCS fiber. POF is limited for industrial distances and may degrade signal quality.
