Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet What is Industrial Ethernet , it continues to
provide solutions for the Industrial Communications and Automation Industry.
Traditional Office Grade Ethernet cannot meet the reliability demanded by Industrial Applications. A brief
Loss of Service in an Office Environment may not be such a big issue, but in an industrial environment it
may represent significant loss on your capital investment.
Industrial Ethernet is specifically designed to operate in harsh environments such as Factory floor
Automation, Process Control, HVAC, Medical, Manufacturing.
Typically Industrial Automation devices include, Rugged Case, Din Rail Attachment, Wide Temperature
Specification, Broad Power Source Input, these features give us a reliable Ethernet connection
in demanding environments.
Radio Modems
Radio Modems are radio frequency transceivers for serial data communications. They connect to serial ports
RS232, RS422/485 and transmit to and receive signals from other matching radio(point to point) or
radios(multidrop) network.
Wireless Radio Modems are designed to be transparent to the systems they operate within. All communication
appears to your system as if communicating across directly connected cables, no special preparation of your
data is needed. MaxStream units provides you true plug-and-communicate wireless capability operating in the
internationally recognised 2.4Ghz License Free Band.
Ethernet to RS232 RS485 Serial Device Servers
An Ethernet to RS232 or RS485 Device
Server allows you network enable virtually any serial RS232/422/485 port device.
They provide the ability to remotely monitor, control or diagnose your equipment over your LAN or even
WAN (Internet/Web) Link.
Allowing you to maintain the existing investment you have made in Serial interface plant and machine equipment.
Wireless RS232 link
Create an RS-232 wireless Link
using this technology you can replace conventional expensive RS232 serial cable runs, allowing for an easy to use, invisible connection.
Handy Wave Bluetooth is the cable replacement solution for RS-232, simply plug one unit into your
RS-232 device and the other into your PC for an instant wireless link with minimal setup and also gives the added flexibility and mobility
not available with traditional wired RS232 links.
GSM and GPRS
A GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network.
A wireless modem behaves like a dial-up modem. The main difference between them is that a dial-up modem sends and receives data
through a fixed telephone line while a wireless modem sends and receives data through radio waves.
GPRS modem is a GSM modem with additionally supports the GPRS technology for data transmission. GPRS stands for General Packet
Radio Service. It is a packet-switched technology that is an extension of GSM. (GSM is a circuit-switched technology.)
A key advantage of GPRS over GSM is that GPRS has a higher data transmission speed.
This Technology is ideal for M2M(machine to machine communications) applications such as
Meter Reading, Remote Maintenance, Traffic Control Systems, Vending Machines
And Building Management Systems HVAC
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Power Over Ethernet or PoE technology describes any system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network.
The standard is IEEE 802.3af which calls for 48 Volts DC over two pairs of a four-pair cable at a maximum current of 350 mA for a maximum load power of 16Watts.
Outdoor Ethernet Switches
Outdoor Ethernet Switches What is an Outdoor Ethernet Switch,
An Outdoor Ethernet Switch, is specifically designed for the toughest industrial environments, an outdoor switch is constructed of a rugged
weather tight aluminum case and the designed usually carries an IP rating which provide a waterproof, and dust-tight connection. An Outdoor Ethernet
Switch can be easily adopted in almost all kinds of Industrial applications and provides the most reliable solutions for your network in outdoor environments,
typical applications includes: Railway, Moving Vehicles, Factory Automation, Marine(DNV Approval).
