RCI-SER-RF9: RS-232 / RS-485 Serial Interface for RCI-XXX-RF9 Series Remotes
Features:
|
Function:
The RCI-SER-RF9 is a serial-to-radio interface. It allows PC’s or PLC’s to communicate directly with one or more RCI-XXX-RF9’s. The standard MODBUS ASCII protocol used in the RCI-XXX-RF9 series allows for easy integration with existing software packages on both PC’s and PLC’s.
The host controller connected to the RCI-SER-RF9 controls the communication by sending out queries to each remote unit. The Remote unit then replies with an acknowledgment if the data was received correctly. The license-free spread-spectrum radio technology allows small systems to be set up with very little effort and at a low cost. The technology ensures high communication reliability even in RF-intensive environments.
All units are sold with a 1/4 wave omnidirectional whip antenna. Other antennas, such as directional Yagi or Patch antennas, are sold separately.
