3. Key Features
3.1 Hybrid Serial Connectivity
The module integrates 2 SFP+ fiber optic ports and 2 RS-485 copper ports, supporting both high-speed (10 Gbps) long-distance transmission and cost-effective short-range communication. SFP+ ports enable transmission distances up to 40 km (single-mode fiber), while RS-485 ports support multi-drop networks for industrial sensors and actuators.
3.2 Deterministic Low Latency
Optimized for real-time systems, the TIP866-10 achieves a deterministic latency of ≤3 μs for SFP+ channels and ≤10 μs for RS-485 channels. This consistent performance is critical for applications like aerospace flight data transmission and industrial motion control, where delay variations can compromise system safety.
3.3 Advanced Synchronization
Equipped with high-accuracy internal clock (±25 ppm) and external clock input (0–20 MHz), the module ensures precise synchronization across distributed systems. This capability is essential for multi-node applications like industrial process control, where timing consistency directly impacts data correlation and control accuracy.
3.4 Robust Safety & Ruggedness
SIL 2 certification and 5 kV DC galvanic isolation protect the module from voltage surges and cross-channel interference, ensuring compliance with industrial safety standards. Its ruggedized design withstands extreme temperatures (-40°C–85°C), high vibration (15 g), and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh environments like offshore oil rigs and military vehicles.
