SOT-EQ(2.5Mbps)Series

Feature

The SOT-ES/EQ Series implements Ethernet backbone communications. It greatly improves the degree of freedom of network systems, with a wireless data transfer rate of 10 Mbps.

Connects wirelessly to Ethernet via infrared, enabling high-volume communication without loss of quality.
The SOT-EQ series (2.5 Mbps) has been added to the SOT-ES series (10Mbps), greatly improving cost performance.
The SOT-EQ series allows the carrier frequency to be changed via a DIP switch, enabling two-way communication
on the same track or in parallel without interference.
In the case of a conveyance control system, the cars and ground system can be connected to the same network,
enabling remote monitoring. A programmable control system can be used on the same network to greatly improve maintainability, by enabling program verification and modification on the mobile unit, in addition to normal data communications.
Unlike radio-wave communication, stable throughput is possible with communication between optical transmission systems. Optical communication is also more secure.
Each device can check the reception level of the other.
