Moxa ICF-1180I-M-ST-T Industrial PROFIBUS to Multi-Mode Fibre Converter (ST) (Wide Temp)

Overview

The Moxa ICF-1180I-M-ST-T is an industrial PROFIBUS-to-fibre converter that extends PROFIBUS DP communication over multi-mode optical fibre up to 4 km. The ICF-1180I provides 2 kV galvanic isolation, dual redundant power inputs with reverse polarity protection, and an alarm relay output. A PROFIBUS fail-safe function prevents noise from a failed bus segment from propagating through the fibre link and disrupting connected segments — a key advantage over standard media converters in large PROFIBUS installations.

Key Features

• Converts PROFIBUS DP signals from copper to multi-mode optical fibre
• Extends PROFIBUS transmission up to 4 km with multi-mode fibre (ST connector)
• PROFIBUS fail-safe: isolates noise from a failed bus segment, prevents network-wide outage
• Fibre cable test function via DIP switch — validates cable and identifies Tx/Rx faults
• Fibre Signal Intensity Diagnosis via voltmeter — supports aging and limit-value monitoring
• Auto baudrate detection (9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps); manual DIP switch override available
• Fibre inverse mode for compatibility with third-party PROFIBUS converters
• Fibre link monitor with LED and relay alarm on communication error
• 2 kV galvanic isolation on PROFIBUS port
• Dual redundant 12–48 VDC power inputs with reverse polarity protection
• ATEX, C1D2, IECEx, and DNV maritime certified
• DIN-rail and wall mountable metal housing (IP30)
• 5-year warranty

PROFIBUS & Fibre Interface

The PROFIBUS port uses a DB9 female connector with D+, D-, RTS, Signal Common, and 5V signals, supporting 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps with auto-detect. The multi-mode fibre interface uses ST connectors. Wavelength is 820 nm, TX power -14 dBm, RX sensitivity -28 dBm, link budget 14 dB.

Power & Environmental

Powered via terminal block with two independent 12 to 48 VDC inputs drawing 269 mA, providing power redundancy with reverse polarity protection. The ICF-1180I-M-ST-T operates across the full wide-temperature range of -40 to 75°C, suitable for outdoor enclosures and harsh industrial environments. Ambient humidity 5 to 95% non-condensing. Metal IP30 housing, 180 g, DIN-rail and wall mountable.
