Description
ABB PFVO142 3BSE023732R0001 Optical Output Module, S800 I/O ModuleBus Optical Transmitter, AC800M DCS Fiber Communication Spare Part
Product Application
PFVO142 is an optical transmitter module for ABB S800 I/O ModuleBus. It converts electrical ModuleBus signals into optical signals over HCS versatile link fiber, providing galvanic isolation and noise immunity between controller side and remote I/O cabinets. It works paired with PFVI142 optical receiver module for short-distance optical ModuleBus communication.

Maintenance
- Routine inspection: Check LED status, versatile link fiber connector and baseplate contact every 6–12 months
- Clean optical fiber end face with professional fiber cleaning tools; liquid solvent cleaning is forbidden
- ESD protection must be adopted during disassembly, anti-static wristband required
- If optical link loss or communication dropout occurs, check fiber bending, dirt or connector damage
- Do not plug/unplug optical fiber with strong force to avoid damaging optical core
- We support function testing, refurbishment and spare replacement service for this PFVO142 optical output module
