Product Description | x-light ensures a safe communication even in case of device failure by optically bypassing the defective node so that a permanent data transmission is guaranteed. x-light is manufacturer and protocol independent so that it perfectly integrates into every network, regardless of the structure (ring or line). x-light is activated once the voltage is lower than the adjusted voltage level. Furthermore, the system can be controlled flexibly via the trigger input, e.g. in case of service or failures. |
