Agilent HFBR-1506AM/HFBR-2506AM
Fiber Optic SMA Transmitters and
Receivers for 16 MBd SERCOS
Applications
Data Sheet
Description
SERCOS, an acronym for
SErial
Realtime COmmunications
Systems,
is a standard digital
interface for communication in
industrial CNC applications.
SERCOS is a European (EN
61491) and international
standard (IEC 61491). The
optical interface allows data
rates of 2,4,8 and 16 MBd and
data transfer between numerical
controls and drives via fiber-
optic rings, with voltage
isolation and noise immunity.
The HFBR-1506AM and HFBR-
2506AM products have a
guaranteed performance up to
16 MBd.
Package Information
The transmitters and receivers
are housed in a low-cost, dual-
in-line package that is made of
high strength, heat resistant,
chemically resistant and UL 94V-
O (UL file # E121562) flame
retardant plastic. Both the
transmitter and receiver are
coated with a layer of
conductive alloy for better air
discharge (ESD) performance.
The package is designed for auto
insertion and wave soldering so
it is ideal for high volume
production applications.
Handling and Design Information
When soldering, it is advisable
to leave the protective cap on
the unit to keep the optics clean.
Good system performance
requires clean port optics and
cable ferrules to avoid
obstructing the optical path.
Clean compressed air often is
sufficient to remove particles of
dirt; methanol on a cotton swab
also works well.
Recommended Chemicals for
Cleaning/Degreasing
Alcohols:
methyl, isopropyl,
isobutyl.
Aliphatics:
hexane, heptane.
Other:
soap solution, naphtha.
Do not use
partially halogenated
hydrocarbons such as 1,1,1
trichloroethane, ketones such as
MEK, acetone, chloroform, ethyl
acetate, methylene dichloride,
phenol, methylene chloride or N-
methylpyrolldone. Also, Agilent
does not recommend the use of
cleaners that use halogenated
hydrocarbons because of their
potential environmental harm.
