Faster, Higher, Farther

Able to transfer data without wires or radio signals, across distances of up to 300 meters, without minimum distances, and at speeds of 100 Mbit/s: The LS682 optical data coupler far surpasses the performance of its competitors—and opens up new possibilities for high-bay warehouses.

Pepperl+Fuchs: With its large detection range of up to 300 meters, the device gives planners and operators in high-bay warehouses unprecedented levels of freedom. The LED display on the transmitter indicates the received signal strength—an important feature given the distances at which this device can operate. This design allows the user to quickly and optimally align the optical data coupler. Since configuration is not necessary, commissioning is simpler.

Transfer without Restrictions

This product family has always been synonymous with innovation. The predecessor model, the LS680, was the first optical data coupler to achieve a transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s, earning the device several international awards. The LS682 works at the same fast transfer rate. Telegrams are not saved, so transfers take place without delay and the LS682 can send and receive large amounts of data over long distances in real time. The data transfer rate remains constant at any distance, which means that video data from cameras on the control panel can be used directly—for example, for remote maintenance and diagnostics with visual support, or for system documentation. The bidirectional communication works independently of any protocol and can be integrated into any application, including industrial Ethernet topologies such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, or Powerlink. The LS682 optical data coupler provides the ideal data transfer technology for high-bay warehouses, moving carriages, lifting stations, and gantry cranes.
