Optical Data Transmission Sensors with Ethernet Communication for Real-time Wireless Signal Transmission
Challenge
As high-bay warehouses expand, stacker cranes must operate over increasingly longer distances. To ensure smooth operation, critical process data such as travel commands, diagnostic information, and safety signals must be transmitted to the warehouse management system quickly and without delay. Efficient data transmission supports rapid storage and retrieval of goods, maximizing the utilization of warehouse storage space.
Solution
The ST100 optical data transmission module is designed for large-scale industrial facilities, offering a wireless data transmission range of up to 200 meters. Its consistent 100 Mbit/s transmission rate remains unaffected by other communication networks or environmental conditions, ensuring high reliability. The module enables data transmission from a starting distance of 0 meters, eliminating the need for a minimum transmission range and improving space utilization efficiency.
Easily installed directly on stacker cranes, the device is simple to align using its built-in colored LED indicators that display signal strength, allowing for quick adjustments by a single operator.
Advantages
• Maintenance-Free Design: Wireless setup eliminates the need for wiring, reducing maintenance costs.
• High Stability: Ensures a consistent transmission rate regardless of distance or environmental changes.
• Optimized Space Utilization: Reliable data transmission over a range of 0 to 200 meters enhances warehouse efficiency.
• Ease of Installation and Alignment: LED signal strength indicators simplify the calibration process.
ST100 Series Optical Data Transmission Module
Key Features
• Long-Range Transmission: Up to 200 meters, ideal for large warehouses.
• Consistent High-Speed Rate: 100 Mbit/s for timely process data delivery.
• Zero-Distance Start: Enables data transmission from 0 meters, optimizing storage utilization.
• User-Friendly Calibration: Built-in colored LED indicators for easy alignment.
Working Principle
The ST100 series optical data transmission module employs free-space optical communication for wireless data transfer. Its core technologies include optical components, mechanical structure, circuitry, and software systems. During operation, the transmitter converts data streams from the host system into laser pulse signals, which are transmitted through free space to the receiver. The receiver detects the optical signals, converts them into electrical data streams, and sends them back to the host system at the receiving end.
This innovative transmission method overcomes the limitations of traditional wired communication, providing a highly efficient solution for modern warehouse management.
