Principle Features and Benefits

• Data-Linc stand-alone modems are housed in metal enclosures with mounting flanges providing physical environment protection and EMI/RFI immunity.
• Data-Linc Modems and connecting cables are factory configured for each  application, assuring a trouble-free installation (no modem field settings, programming or adapters required).
• Wireless Full Duplex, uncompressed data rates to 115.2 Kbaud. Distance to 25+ miles. Operating temperatures from -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to 167°F).
• Data-Linc wire and wireless modems support point-to-point, multi-point and multi-tier/multi-drop applications. Repeaters can be stand-alone without requiring back-to-back units.
• Data-Linc employs only the most robust communications technologies to assure exceptional data communications reliability and integrity for data acquisition, control and SCADA applications:
  • Frequency hopping spread spectrum wireless technology (902-928 MHz and 2.4-2.4835 GHz license free bands available) has exceptional immunity to interference and data transmission problems.
  • CIX & PLR protocol to I/O products go beyond standard I/O devices. The Ethernet interface supports Modbus TCP/IP and the serial interface supports Modbus RTU protocols. The Master units communicate wirelessly with up to 16 Remote I/O units to form a single wireless I/O network for seamless protocol integration into your equipment as documented by the equipment manufacturer to utilize Data-Linc’s point addressing model.
  • OFDM technology for 54 Mbps speeds for the FLC910E (900 MHz) and FLC830E (2.4 GHz) members of the FastLinc^TM Family
  • Frequency Shift Key (FSK) technology provides a high level of immunity to data transmission problems, providing the highest possible data reliability over any two conductor wire, shielded or unshielded, twisted or untwisted (No ground loop or shifting ground plane problems as well as immunity to EMI, noise and surge).

• Data-Linc also offers wire technology products... when line-of-sight is not possible, no need to find another vendor. Our wire modems transmit data across slip rings, sliding contacts, rolling wheels, shoes, brushes and conductor bars as well as phone and private leased lines.
  • DLM (dial-up/leased line) and LLM (leased line) modems transfer data via phone and private lines... from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)
  • Data-Linc's MDL500 Series of FSK wire modems can even superimpose data on in-plant facility wiring, including AC/DC power lines in many cases, PBX telephone wires and instrument loop lines, simultaneously without interfering with the current, voice or instrumentation signals being transmitted. This eliminates the time and expense of data cable installation.

Data-Linc utilizes the most advanced Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum(FHSS), DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technologies supporting serial, Ethernet, I/O and protocol to I/O for wireless data transmission (no site license required) as well as, specialized Frequency Shift Key (FSK) techniques for data communications on any two conductor wire. Data-Linc provides the ultimate in data reliability and integrity while also achieving superior performance, user friendly ease of installation and insurance against potential operational problems.
