Abstract

As is the case in other industrial branches, automation of production flow lines in the building industry also requires an interference-proof and reliable data communication between hardware installed close to the production proceess and the control units in the control room area. In particular, the presence of electromagnetically inteference-intensive plants compels to utilize the optical waveguide technique for an economically justifiable solution to the communication problem. The special question will be whether the optical waveguide with its advantageous properties as well as the components pertinent to them in the raw ambient process fields of the building production plants will be employable with a permanent operational reliability and how the technological particularities of assembly and commissioning may be accomplished under these conditions. As a result of investigations into selected application cases an optical waveguide communication module was developed and tested within the framework of applied research for being utilized under the hard conditions typical for production. The same applies to necessary assembling applicances which allow a qualitative glueing of optical fibres under more difficult assembly conditions.
