Description
The RC250 Modbus GEN II Receiver is a high performance telemetry receiver unit designed for use with the standard GEN II range of telemetry transmitters, repeaters and accessories. It outputs RS232 Modbus RTU (RS485 option) 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
Features
- Built-in rechargeable battery pack for more than 24 hour operation
- 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 GEN II 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
- Direct connection to PC or via Intranet or Ethernet
- GSM using a GRD order similar GSM modem.
