Model 922-FOM

SUBSEA QUALIFIED 7-PORT ETHERNET SWITCH

The Model 922-FOM is a lightly managed Ethernet switch designed and tested for use in subsea controls and communication applications. With five copper Ethernet ports and two optical Ethernet ports, the FOM may be operated with both optical ports and (optionally) one copper port configured for redundant operation, so that the failure of one link automatically and rapidly redirects traffic to one of the other ports in a protocol independent manner.

Communication formats include SIIS Level 3 Ethernet at 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s with ports configured manually or through autonegotiation. Optical links operate in 100Base-FX format (100 Mb/s). A range of subsea-qualified, pluggable, fiber-optic transceivers enables many optical topologies, including dual fiber operation and bidirectional operation with up to 16 wavelengths on a single fiber using CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. Fiber umbilicals of up to 200 km length are supported.

Model 922 software provides advanced diagnostics via Modbus TCP for real-time health monitoring of the system as well as easy configuration of all interfaces and modes of operation.

Features

  • User configurable, 7-port Ethernet switch, 10/100M
  • Dual optical transceivers for redundant 100M Ethernet uplink with automatic failover
  • Isolated, fault-tolerant power and signal interfaces
  • Qualified per ISO 13628-6 and API 17F to Q1 levels
  • Advanced diagnostics and setup via Modbus TCP or Telnet
  • Proven hi-rel components rated for -40°C to +85°C
  • Robust remote update method for subsea firmware with multistage validation and permanent factory fallback code
  • UDP heartbeat packet with IP settings and key diagnostics
  • 3U Eurocard size for card rack or bolt-down installation

Benefits

  • Reduces overall system costs and size
  • Delivers high performance optimized for subsea controls
  • Saves costs for qualifications and obsolescence management; avoids requalification of industrial solutions
  • Provides an easy upgrade path via remote code updates to "future proof" system designs
  • Supports many copper and optical configurations
