High sensitivity
Lightweight and flexible, easy to install and buried
Electrical insulation and chemical stability. Optical fiber itself is a highly insulating and chemically stable substance, which is suitable for harsh environments such as high-voltage isolation and flammable and explosive in power systems and chemical systems
Good security. Fiber optic sensors are electrically passive sensitive components, so when used in measurement, there are no potential safety hazards such as leakage and electric shock
Immunity to electromagnetic interference. In general, the frequency of light waves is higher than the frequency of electromagnetic radiation, so the propagation of light in optical fibers is not affected by electromagnetic noise;
Distributed measurements are possible. An optical fiber can achieve long-distance continuous measurement and control, which can accurately measure the strain, damage, vibration and temperature information on any point, and thus form a monitoring area with a large range to improve the detection level of the environment
Long service life. The main material of the optical fiber is quartz glass, which is clad in a polymer material, which makes it more durable than metal sensors
Large transmission capacity. With optical fiber as the bus, the bulky multi-core underwater cable is used to transmit large-capacity optical fiber instead of the cumbersome multi-core underwater cable to collect and store the information of each sensing point, and the distributed optical fiber sensor monitoring is realized through multiplexing technology

Banner Sensors – What are the Uses of Photoelectric Sensors?
1. Photoelectric smoke alarm
When there is no smoke, the light emitted by the light-emitting diode travels in a straight line, and the phototriode does not receive a signal. There is no output, when there is smoke, the light emitted by the LED is refracted by the smoke particles, so that the transistor receives the light, there is a signal output, ...

Banner - Talking about the differences between RTU, ASCII, and TCP in the Modbus protocol
Modbus is an application-layer protocol that defines a data unit (ADU) that is independent of the underlying network and can communicate over Ethernet (TCP/IP) or serial links (RS232, RS485, etc.) (Ethernet ADUs and serial ADUs are slightly different). On a serial link, the Modbus protocol has two ...
