OCR Communication Module
Phoenix Digital’s OCR communication module functions as a fiber media converter and multiport network switch to provide the multi-fault tolerant, redundant Ethernet communication network that your operation demands.
Available as a DIN-rail mounted unit, the OCR communication module works with any variation of Ethernet or other protocols and is compatible with the control platform of any automation vendor.
Using redundant ring-based technology, the OCR fiber media converter is designed specifically for industrial I/O peer to peer networks. It features an industrial hardened case, sets up simply with no configuration and never requires a software update.

Features & Benefits
Our OCR-based network installs in minutes with 1 dip switch and has no software programming or system configuration. Other features and benefits include:
- 30-sec MTTR - Mean Time to Repair
- No software updates, security patches, driver updates or memory flash configurations, ever.
- Field-replaceable SFP
- Integrated signal strength capability
- 10-sec power-up
- Commonality of spares
- Three-level embedded diagnostics
- Suitable for Ethernet-based process instrumentation networks
- RSS (Return Signal Strength for Fiber Optic power evaluation)
Our OCR fiber converter also:
- Supports 100 MB and 1G Ethernet speeds
- Eliminates the need for security patches and downloads
- Provides easy integration for industrial I/O Ethernet devices
With a 0-sec network convergence time on channel failure, PDC fiber optic Ethernet switches will recover to a stable, operational state in less than 10 seconds, with no boot-up time upon power loss. And they’re industrial hardened, capable of dealing with the harshest environments.
