Model 922-420
SUBSEA QUALIFIED 4-20 mA GATEWAY

The Model 922-420 provides an advanced SIIS Level 1 gateway to a SIIS level 3 network, and is ideally suited to interface with modern control systems. It has been designed and qualified specifically for permanent subsea installation and is highly fault tolerant by using protection and redundant circuitry.
Advanced diagnostics provide real time health monitoring of the system and include optical SFP information, temperature, voltage, humidity, Ethernet link status, and Ethernet switch configuration. The model 922-420 uses a common unified software interface, like all of Focal’s SOC products, making integration faster and easier.
Optical communication performance can be extended by using Focal’s subsea qualified fiber-optic SFP modules. Option are available supporting tiebacks or step outs of up to 200 km.
Features
- 8 isolated SIIS level 1 (4-20 mA) channels
- 1-port SIIS level 3 (100 Base-T(X) Ethernet) switch
