power and data transmission

Description

The NearFi coupler transmits power and real-time Ether-
net data contactlessly over an air gap in the centimeter
range.
For contactless transmission, you will need at least two
devices: a base and one or more remote couplers.
The base coupler transmits the energy inductively to the
remote coupler.
Ethernet transmission is bidirectional between the base
and the remote.
In maintenance-intensive applications, such as tool
changes on robots, this enables wear-prone connections
to be replaced easily and minimizes downtime costs.
The base and remote couplers are both available in three
versions:
– Power and data transmission (NEARFI PD...)
– Only power transmission (NEARFI P...)
– Only data transmission (NEARFI D...)
