Wireless RF Modems Extend Network Distance and Provide Exceptional Noise Immunity in Remote Control and Monitoring Applications

Application Description

The ability to transmit data between remote locations reliably, regardless of weather conditions is a difficult and expensive project using conventional dedicated line, wire, or fiber optic network media. Extending the distance of Omron's Ethernet and Host Link networks without jeopardizing the reliability or integrity of the system is a key requirement in solving remote control and monitoring applications. Radio modems using spread spectrum technology from Data-Linc Group can provide a cost effective, reliable solution for these remote applications.

Omron/Data-Linc Group Solution Features and Benefits

Cost effectively transmit information reliably over 20 miles, with extended distances possible using Repeaters!

Reliable extension of Omron's Host Link and Ethernet Networks

Exceptional data reliability and integrity and the robust design which results in superior correlation/sensitivity and signal/noise specifications.

Operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C for all SRM Series modems and industrial grade shock/vibration immunity.

Serial version data rate of 115.2Kbaud, thereby providing substantial "cushion" in the event of interference, to protect and maintain PLC line speeds in spite of significant impact upon the radio throughput.

Ethernet version's 100kbps data rate supports ranges of up to 35 miles with omni directional antennas and without Repeaters (multiples of this distance with Repeaters)

Easy installation.

Omron/Data-Linc Group Advantages

Omron's Host Link protocol has been performing for over 20 years in harsh industrial environments.

Both Omron's Host Link and Ethernet network protocols are open and fully published.

Industries and Applications

Mobile Machinery provides flexibility in relocating machinery often without installing costly communications cable.

Rotating machinery and equipment where wiring is difficult due to the movement of the mechanics.

Mining, Metals, Oil and Gas, Pulp and Paper, Power/Utilities, Transportation.

Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and Pump Stations in the water/wastewater and pipeline industries.
