1. A digital information transfer system, comprising:
an electronic driver unit in electrical communication with a power supply to receive an input voltage, the driver unit configured to convert input data into output data based on a digital information transfer system protocol and to deliver the output data to at least one output transmission line; an electronic fault detection module in electrical communication with the power supply and the at least one output transmission line, the fault detection module configured to determine a fault condition of the at least one output transmission line based on a comparison between a voltage level of the at least one output transmission line and the input voltage, the fault condition including a short circuit to a voltage supply internal to the digital information transfer system; and an electronic fault protection module in electrical communication with each of the driver unit, the at least one output transmission line and the fault detection module, the electronic fault protection module configured to selectively disconnect the driver unit from the at least one output transmission line in response to detecting the fault condition, wherein the at least one output transmission line includes a first output transmission line for outputting a positive data value and a second output transmission line for outputting a negative data value. |
