A 15 page technical report that discusses the merits and liabilities of the various commonly deployed fiber optic traffic signalization network architectures, with a particular emphasis on the optical self-healing ring. The significant improvement in network reliability and virtual elimination of single point of failures provided by the recently introduced multiple-master capability of IFS’s new D19100SHR series Self-Healing Ring Transceiver Unit is reviewed in detail. Although directed towards and written for consulting engineers, end-users such as D.O.T and municipal transportation systems planners and traffic engineers, and systems integrators involved with the transportation market, other applications for this extremely versatile product include SCADA networks, access-control for industrial security, and building automation and control systems.

An 11 page technical report that reviews and details the use of Ethernet based transmission in modern SCADA, Factory Automation and Process Control Networks. Network engineers are continuously searching for better ways to eliminate the possibility of a single point-of-failure from causing a communications network from partially or completely failing. As networks become increasingly more complex, the technical problems associated with a single point-of-failure and the innovative and cost-effective ways of eliminating them have become a major issue within the communications engineering community. This is particularly true in terms of improvement of system reliability, availability, maintainability, and the minimization of downtime. The trend within the industrial control and factory automation, industrial security, and transportation markets is towards the use of open architecture/standards-based hardware and networks as well as seamless systems integration. As a result, Ethernet is being embraced on a wholesale basis. This report details the typical systems design and benefits gained.
