Features:
- Contactless communication: Serial data crosses a moving gap without slip rings or festoon data cable.
- Long optical range: The 150 m boundary supports large travel paths when alignment is maintained.
- Cold-area heating: The integrated heated operating mode extends use into low-temperature installations.
ISD280-1112 is the optical bridge in a point-to-point industrial serial or PROFIBUS link.
Two aligned units exchange data through an 860 nm infrared beam while the connected controllers continue to use their wired interfaces.
Performance depends on clear sight, mounting rigidity and correct bus engineering as much as the transmitter electronics.
Apter Power can help confirm SICK ISD280-1112 interface, heated-operation requirement, transmission distance and connector scope before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Bidirectional path: A matched pair exchanges serial traffic across the air gap.
- Narrow alignment: Stable mechanical pointing keeps the remote unit inside the optical aperture.
- Range planning: Distance, vibration and structure deflection are assessed together.
- Line of sight: Loads, guards and moving equipment must not obstruct the beam.
- Serial support: RS-422/485 equipment can use the contactless link.
- PROFIBUS DP: The interface carries the established fieldbus when timing and termination are correct.
- Low delay: Microsecond-scale transit limits the impact on industrial communication timing.
- Connector boundary: D-sub and M12 connections separate data and supply functions.
- Heated operation: Additional current powers the low-temperature heating function.
- IP54 housing: The enclosure resists dust and splashing but still needs an appropriate installation.
- Rigid mounting: Brackets must prevent vibration from moving the beam off target.
- Clean optics: Dust or condensation on the window is managed through inspection and maintenance.
- Stacker cranes: Transfers control data between the aisle structure and moving machine.
- Overhead handling: Avoids a data cable across long crane travel.
- Automated storage: Maintains communication to shuttles or transfer equipment with clear sight.
- Moving platforms: Bridges a serial link where mechanical cable routing would restrict motion.
