The "cRIO OPIF 20MBit/s" module is a powerful solution for optical communication over fiber optics (FO) in National Instruments Compact-RIO systems. It serves as an adapter module that enables the transition from electronic signals to optical transmissions, thereby ensuring reliable, high-frequency signal transmission over greater distances with minimal susceptibility to interference. 

Technical Description 

The module utilizes HFBR transmitter/receiver technology with a wavelength of 820 nm. 
The components provide excellent coupling efficiency, compatible with a variety of fiber types. This technology ensures efficient coupling in fiber optic systems - Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS). 

It is equipped with 2 transmitters and 2 receivers that allow stable communication over fiber optics. The module supports data rates of up to 20 MBit/s (without static signaling) and is compatible with widely used industrial connectors such as SC, ST, and SMA. 

Thanks to the use of the 820 nm Miniature Link Series, a cost-effective and high-performance solution for optical communication, the module is capable of establishing reliable connections over several kilometers.  

With an example for software integration in LabVIEW, the modules can be easily integrated into Compact-RIO-based systems, enhancing their flexibility and adaptability in industrial applications.
