<p>A fiber-optic transceiver (10,12) receives from and transmits to an associated electronic terminal device, such as a protective relay, digital data signals. Fiber-optic transceivers (10,12) can be positioned at opposite ends of a connecting fiber-optic line (14). Power for each transceiver (10,12) is obtained from its associated electronic device. The transceiver (10,12) includes a transmit section (22), a receive section (53), a handshake section (18) to provide feedback of control signals which may be required by the associated electronic terminal device, and a voltage supply section (18). A particular optical coding, arrangement is used to convert the digital data signal from the terminal device to a series of optical pulses, wherein a pair of optical pulses represents a rising edge of the digital data signal from the electronic device, while a single pulse represents the falling edge of the data signal. Additional pairs of pulses and single pulses may follow the initial one, depending upon the length of the high and/or low portions of the data signal. The receive portion (53) of the transceiver (10,12) receives a series of optical pulses from the fiber-optic cable (14), recognizes the double and single optical pulses, and reconstructs a digital data signal therefrom. <IMAGE></p> |
