Using the latest technology, the NAIS FP Series of programmable controllers uses several telecommunications and services simultaneously enabling systems to be developed as customer requirements grow.
The user can switch from one telecommunication system to another as both hardware and software can be extended within this modular system. Digital and analog I/O units and a series of intelligent units for performing communication, open-loop and closed-loop control functions, open up a wide area of application: telecommand, telemonitoring, teleindication, telesetting, telemetry, teleswitching.
Applications include factory automation, power generation and distribution, building automation, water and sewage management, safety and security, environmental technology, agriculture, transport and traffic management, etc.
NAIS telecontrol supports numerous systems such as analog (P)STN, ISDN, leased line, multidrop, GSM, DECT and Radio Link, Profibus and Ethernet. Standardised interfaces like RS232, RS422 and RS485 ensures secure data transmission and ease of operation. Dynamic switching between communication protocols during operation provides flexibility for programming, for SMS/pager messages, for scada systems, etc.
Compact and lightweight, the NAIS FP Series is easy to install and with a single programming environment for the entire FP Series, the need for constant re-organising when changing hardware is eliminated. Instrotech is the SA distributor for NAIS PLCs.
