OCX Fiber Media Converter for ControlLogix®
The OCX fiber media converter is a true plug-and-play module engineered specifically for Rockwell Automation’s 1756 ControlLogix platform.
The OCX family of products supports Ethernet, Controlnet, Data Highway, and Modbus RTU. The OCX fiber optic media converter is 1756-RM2 and 1757-SRM Redundancy Module Compliant to reside in the processor chassis. The OCX module is available as ControlLogix 1756 in-chassis or as a stand-alone panel mount in an industrial hardened case.
Creating a fully redundant, multi-fault tolerant network, the OCX is secure and easy to deploy and maintain. Even in-chassis, this fiber media converter uses redundant ring-based technology for industrial I/O peer to peer networking in the most challenging environments.

Features & Benefits
Like all our modules, this fiber media converter utilizes our packetization technology, which keeps data secure by preventing a mixed data stream. The OCX-based network is installed with 1 dip switch and has no software programming or system configuration. The PDC system never requires any software updates, security patches, driver updates or memory flash configurations, making it secure and easy to implement.
Features and benefits include:
- 30-sec MTTR (mean time to repair)
- Recovery to a stable, operational state in less than 10 seconds (no boot-up time) upon power loss
- 0-sec network convergence time on channel failure
- Field-replaceable SFP
- Integrated signal strength capability
- 10-sec power-up
- Commonality of spares
- Suitable for Ethernet-based process instrumentation networks
The OCX fiber media converter also supports:
- Nanosecond PTP channel to channel synchronization
- Modbus Multimastership
- Ethernet and Modbus RTU on the same fiber at the same time
