PFVO142
Product Overview
PFVO142 (Order code: 3BSE023732R0001) is a Fieldbus Optical Media Converter Module manufactured by ABB for the Advant OCS / Master legacy DCS system.
It serves as optical transceiver for the AF100 fieldbus, converting electrical AF100 bus signals to optical fiber transmission to extend communication distance and isolate electromagnetic interference. It realizes point-to-point fiber link between controllers, field stations and remote I/O units.
PFVO142 works in pairs, supports single-mode or multi-mode fiber options, eliminates ground loop interference, widely used in power plants and pulp & paper legacy Advant DCS systems.

Key Features
- Dedicated AF100 bus optical conversion, compatible with all Advant controller and S100 I/O stations
- Complete galvanic isolation between electrical bus and fiber side, suppresses common-mode interference and ground loop noise
- Requires paired deployment; one PFVO142 installed at each end of fiber link
- Compact DIN rail structure, easy cabinet layout and maintenance replacement
- Built-in link fault detection, sends communication failure status to connected station
- Strict part number verification; fiber type variants cannot be directly interchanged without matching transceiver specification
- Essential spare communication hardware for maintenance of legacy ABB Advant DCS automation systems
