Optical data transmission device

What is an optical data transmission device?

A wireless data transmission device that uses light as a medium. It is suitable for sending and receiving data for a moving equipment and devices such as automatic guided vehicles, stacker cranes and overhead hoist cranes in warehouses.

Data transfer of mobiles, saving of wiring of communication cables

No need for cables between the devices. In addition to exchanging data with moving objects, it can also be used for exchanging data in the place where is difficult for cable wirings.

How is it different from the radio wave type?

Since light is used as the transmission medium, it is not affected by electrical noise or magnetic fields. Also, unlike the radio wave type, it does not have the legal restrictions.

Serial type, parallel type

The optical data transmission device has a parallel type that transmits input / output data of bit signals and a serial type that can be used as a substitute for communication cables such as RS-232C and RS-422.
