Abstract

Distributed computer processing has led to the need for data communications over reliable links. This paper discusses the use of fiber optics in Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) factory networks -- its potential and limitations. A fiber optic MAP system is described which provides completely compatible fiber optic interconnections for all 10 Mb/s broadband MAP equipment. The system uses innovative techniques to support broadband MAP as well as other broadband services such as video.
