Radio networks traditionally follow the Master (main station node) and Slave (out station node) methodology for data acquisition. A single master polls for data from one or more slaves, depending on the network size. Polling is inefficient and if the master fails, the network fails.
Omniflex Teleterm M3 Series implements Responsive Wireless with the following advantages:
• All out stations report automatically only when they need to, i.e. change of state or set limits reached.
• Faster more efficient reporting and better control.
• Reduced radio noise.
• Fail over options for redundancy.
• Bi-directional signals.
• Repeating capability for longer range.
Teleterm M3 Series uses licence-free radio bands and is suitable for up to 15 km range. Connect directly to scada or DCS via Ethernet. The system is ideal for short hop radio links such as:
