Remote data acquisition system based on fiber transmission

Abstract

Making advantage of the optical fiber's characteristics such as high real-time, high reliability, one remote data acquisition system based on the optical fiber conveying data is designed and achieved. A special convertor is applied for the transformation of the opto-electrical signal, in order to alter the IEEE1394 interface to the interface of a single-mode optical fiber. This technique makes the long range data acquisition available by real time collecting, transmission, data analysis and so on. A practical application case by adopting this remote data acquisition system successfully proves that it is a feasible method of using optical fiber transmission to solve the problem in long range signal conveying.
