Modem Modems are electronic devices used for sending and receiving
data over long distances. The Siemens ACCESS system also
supports data communication through a modem. In the
following illustration a remote computer communicates to an
isolated multi-drop converter through a modem.
Fiber Optics Fiber optics is a method for transmitting data using light. A basic
system consists of a transmitting device which generates a light
signal, a fiber optic cable, and a receiving device. In the
following illustration a supervisory computer is connected to a
fiber optic converter through an RS-232 interface. At the other
end of the fiber optic cable is another RS-232 to fiber optic
converter which is connected to an isolated multi-drop
converter. The RS-485 output of the multi-drop converter is
connected to various field devices.
