LINK™ – PECL
The Innova Link PECL multibeam sonar interface is a flexible solution for integration of single or dual head multibeam sonars to any remotely operated system.
Description
The system provides 2 bidirectional PECL (Positive EmitterCoupled Logic) interfaces, commonly used by multibeam sonar systems. This provides a transparent interface for e.g. the Reson and Kongsberg lines of multibeam products.
The design is based on Innova’s long experience with remotely operated vehicle systems and provides a wide range of features, including;
• 2 bidirectional PECL channels. One fibre channel are for use in sub-sea systems or in other harsh environments.
required per PECL channel.
• Pressure tolerant electronics and optics option
• Single mode and multi mode fibre options
• Self test and diagnostics functionality (distributed to the AV board)
• Can be combined with other boards in the Link Family with the use of CWDM optical multiplexers
