Data Acquisition & Telemetry


Wireless solution for remote monitoring and control

November 2012 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

The Teleterm M2Re RTU from Omniflex is designed for remote monitoring and control applications where cable installations are impractical or too expensive. The RTU makes such applications simple to implement by including a built-in radio, antenna and Ethernet port.

Operating on a licence free radio frequency, the M2Re RTU can be used to send and receive data and status measurements wirelessly from one location to another and can conveniently pass data directly to DCS or scada systems via the built-in Ethernet port.

Also programmable in Isagraf, an industry standard programming environment for all five IEC61131-3 programming languages, the M2Re provides the ability for control and custom logic.

The RTU is equipped with 12 universal I/O ports that can be configured for analog or digital inputs or outputs, depending on the desired application. Typical applications include remote stop/start of pumps, environmental monitoring and small substation monitoring.
