RC250 Modbus GEN II Telemetry System

Quick Overview

The RC250 works as a receiver unit for the GEN II transmitters to provide a serial Modbus output for up to 160 active channels. The RC250 is a self-contained mains powered receiver unit with built-in batteries providing more than 24 hours of operation in the event of a mains failure. An LCD is incorporated to show signal strength and serial number of last transmitter received. The RC250 unit can be used with any GEN II transmitters. The GEN II System uses a licence free 434MHz one way transmission frequency.

Radio Telemetry System

The RC250 is a high performance telemetry receiver designed for use with the standard GenII range of telemetry transmitters, repeaters and accessories. It outputs ModBus RTU or serial data to a connected PC for integration into industry standard PC Software. Such software could include LabVIEW, DASYlab, Wonderware or proprietary software compliant to CFR21 Part 11.

This feature rapidly realises a broad spectrum of applications including:

Monitoring and analysis
Alarm and control
Real time data
Profile mapping

For customers in the pharmaceutical sector (e.g. where CFR21 Part11 compliance is required) and in the industrial, construction, storage, research and conservation sectors.

Features

Built in rechargeable battery pack for more than 24 hour operation should AC supply fail
Power supply for 110 to 250VAC included
Built in display for indicating which TX is active and its received signal strength
Supplied with configuration software which includes set-up for authorised transmitters
Maximum 160 channels
Can be used with multiple repeaters (type RP250GD)
SMA antenna socket for attached antenna or external antenna options
Rugged aluminium case for free standing or wall mounting
Polled data output on 6 pin Mini DIN socket
For direct connection to PC or via Intranet or Ethernet using
Moxa D311 adaptor option or via GSM using a GRD order similar GSM modem.
