About the Module

The ControlNet Fiber-optic Ring Repeater module supports fiber media

redundancy by using a ring topology. The fiber-optic technology permits long

(1786-RPFRL/B module) or very long (1786-RPFRXL/B module)

transmission ranges. Both modules provide optimum protection against EMI

effects along the transmission link and at the repeaters themselves. The fiber link

provides ground isolation between nodes and is less susceptible to noisy

environments than traditional copper media.

Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution

Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II

applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m

(6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment

according to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there

may be difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in residential

and other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbances.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be

mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those

specific environmental conditions that will be present and

appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from

accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have suitable

flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,

complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or

equivalent) if non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be

accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this

publication may contain additional information regarding specific

enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain

product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see the following:

•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,

publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements

•NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations

of the degrees of protection provided by enclosures.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

Fiber-optic Safety Statements

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic

discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal

operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this

equipment:

•Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.

•Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.

•Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

•Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

•Use a static-safe workstation, if available.

•Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when

not in use.

ATTENTION: Laser light can damage your eyes. Laser light is

invisible. Looking at it directly does not cause pain. The iris of the

eye will not close involuntarily as when you view a bright light.

Consequently, serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible.

Never look into the end of a fiber when it may have a laser coupled to

it, or directly into fiber ports. Should accidental eye exposure to laser

light be suspected, get an eye examination immediately.

ATTENTION: Class 1 laser product. Laser radiation is present

when the system is open and interlocks bypassed. Only trained and

qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service

this equipment.

WARNING: Hazardous areas require the use of specially designed

products. Only when the product is marked accordingly (see the

product ID label) it may be used in Class I Division 2 hazardous

environments. Rockwell Automation provides similar products that

are intrinsically safe and are suitable for more hazardous

environments. Use the appropriate products that are designed for

the specific hazardous environments that your installation requires.

In intrinsically-safe applications, consult with your local safety

coordinator because you need specific products on both ends of the

fiber link. Refer to the ControlNet EX Media Planning and

Installation Manual, publication CNET-IN003.

TIP

You must use an adapter module (1786-RPA/B) with the

1786-RPFRL/B or 1786-RPFRXL/B modules to provide power to all

repeaters, and control the flow of data from one repeater to

the next.

IMPORTANT

The distance between repeaters that can be supported is

dependent on the quality of the fiber, number of splices, and

connectors. The total loss of the fiber link must be less than

15 dB for the 1786-RPFRL/B module and 10.5 dB for the

1786-RPFRXL/B module.

The total size of the ring or length of the copper and fiber

ControlNet network is limited by the ControlNet protocol to

20 km or less. Refer to Determine Maximum Network Length

on page 21 for more information.

To determine the maximum distance between any two fiber

modules, refer to the table on page 19.

About Fiber Topology

The 1786-RPFRL/B or 1786-RPFRXL/B long or extra-long modules can be

used to create a redundant optical link between segments. When used in a ring

topology, a single media failure between any two repeater modules in a ring will

not impact the communication link.

The repeaters detect the failure of an optical link. When a failure occurs, the

affected channel port status indicator will be one of the following:

•Red, indicating a faulty link

•Flashing green/off, indicating no network activity is present

Refer to Interpret the Status Indicators on page 28 for more information.

In addition, a relay contact connector on the 1786-RPFRL/B and

1786-RPFRXL/B modules indicates a remote faulty link. See page 32 for more

information on the relay contact connector.

We recommend that you install the duplex optical cables of the two optical

channels along different routes. For more information on cabling, refer to

the ControlNet Fiber Media Planning and Installation Guide,

publication CNET-IN001.

The fiber repeater consists of the following:

• A 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter

• Up to two 1786-RPFRL/B or 1786-RPFRXL/B long or extra-long fiber

repeater modules

• Up to four 1786-RPCD copper fiber repeater modules

• Up to four 1786-RPFS or 1786-RPFM short- or medium-distance fiber

repeater modules

ControlNet Fiber-optic Ring Repeater Modules 9

Rockwell Automation Publication 1786-IN003D-EN-P - April 2011

The maximum number of repeater modules (in any combination) you can use in

a configuration is dependent on the current draw of each repeater module. Total

current draw supplied by the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter cannot exceed

1.6 A @ 5V DC.

In addition to using the fiber repeater in a ring topology, you can do the

following:

•Extend the total length of your segment

•Create a point-to-point or star configuration (multiple directions from

one point)

•Provide electrical isolation and immunity to interference

•Use in hazardous areas

The number of fiber repeaters and cable length total limit depends on your

network topology.

Example Topology Application

See page 10 for an example topology.

For more information on topology application rules in relation to fiber rings,

refer to the ControlNet Fiber Media Planning and Installation Guide,

publication CNET-IN001.

IMPORTANT

You cannot have media redundancy if you have a closed loop ring

installation anywhere in the network. You may use the

1786-RPFRL/B, 1786-RPFRXL/B, 1786-RPFM, or 1786-RPFS

modules in a linear fiber topology.

Do not mix fiber repeater modules to achieve a ring topology and

1786-RPFM modules to achieve a redundant media topology in

one configuration.

For additional topology configurations, refer to Allowable

Configurations When Using Repeaters in a Ring Topology on

ControlNet, Knowledgebase Technical Note ID 32215.

Fiber-optic Ring Topology

Use this configuration for long distances. A fiber-optic ring may contain as many

as 20 member modules. These member modules (four shown in Figure 2)

include the following:

•1786-RPA/B repeater adapter module

•1786-RPFRL/B long-distance ring repeater module

•1786-RPFRXL/B extra long-distance ring repeater module

Figure 2 - Fiber Ring Topology Example

TIP

You cannot exceed 20 repeater modules in a series. If a ring is

broken, whether accidentally or on purpose for testing, the

configuration then becomes linear and the number of repeaters

depends on where the ring is broken. Most likely you will have as

many repeaters as in the original ring, such as the four shown in

Figure 2.
