A simple optical fibre-linked remote control system for multiple devices

摘要

We report on the development of a simple control system which can handle multiple devices through an optical fibre data link. The devices are controlled using a set of DACs through serial data communication via a serial port of a PC. Serial data from the PC get converted to parallel mode using a homemade "serial in parallel out" (SIPO) device at the remote end. The functioning of this to control multiple devices is presented and discussed.
