REMOTE CONTROL & MONITORING

Say Goodbye to Leased Lines

Control Link is a wireless remote control and monitoring system consisting of two or more Model 18 or 18+ telemetry modules and the optional Model 1801 Status and Control Panel. When connected to conventional or trunking radios, Control Link can replace up to 20 dedicated or leased telephone lines for discrete on/off or analog monitoring and control.

Control Link provides a cost-effective wireless alternative for remote control and monitoring versus leased phone lines or dedicated wireline cable. Optional Models 1512 SentriDial and 1516 SentriVoice can provide voice alarms via phone or radio triggered from Control Link outputs.

Control Link can be configured as a point-to- point system or point-to-multi-point system. Each Control Link is bidirectional, capable of both sending and receiving data. All data transmissions are two- way and require a valid handshake response; if no handshake occurs, a communication failure alarm is generated.

OPERATION

A minimum Control Link system consists of two Model 18s connected to radios and powered by 12 VDC. Control Link #1 monitors inputs for changes and, upon detecting a change, transmits a data packet containing the input change information over the radio. The data packet is received by another radio connected to Control Link #2. Control Link #2 then reproduces the change at the corresponding output. These input and output changes can be discrete on/off or, in the case of the Control Link Model 18+, analog values that are varying voltages (0-5V) or current (4-20mA). Transmission of analog signals allows remote monitoring of transducers connected to physical parameters like temperature, pressure, power, etc.

APPLICATIONS

Water System Monitoring and Control
Water Tanks Monitor and Control
Control and Monitor Remote Lift Stations
Irrigation Monitoring and Control
Monitor and Control Remote Sites for Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Power, Security
Oil/Gas Refineries and Pipelines
Food and Chemical Processing
Industrial Wireless Process Control

CONTROL LINK FEATURES

Fast, Accurate Transmissions
Each data transmission has built-in error detection that assures the data will be correct. All transmissions require a handshake or they will be resent.

Multiple I/O Per Unit
The Model 18+ offers 20 bidirectional channels of discrete and analog I/O. The Model 18 has 8 discrete I/O channels.

Closed Loop Control
Each Model 18/18+ has both monitoring and control capability and can signal confirmation that a control function was executed.

Expandable
Multiple units may be used on the same radio to expand the I/O capability.

Shares Existing Radio Channels
The Model 18/18+ monitors the channel for other traffic and will send data between other transmissions

Communication Failure Alarm
If a Model 18/18+ is unsuccessful in communicating with another Model 18/18+, it initiates a communication failure alarm.

Report by Exception
The Model 18/18+ will instantly report a change in state.

Point to Multi-point
The Model 18/18+ allows multiple remote sites to report to or be controlled by a single Model 18/18+.

Programming
The Control Link is configured by RS-232 port to allow the user to change parameters such as radio key delay.

Input/Output Constraints

Discrete I/O cannot link to analog I/O.
A single input can only control a single output and vice versa.
An input on one Control Link may not control an output on the same unit.

MODEL 1801 STATUS & CONTROL PANEL
Introduction
The Model 1801 Multipurpose Status and Control Panel provides status display for up to 16 points and on/off control for 16 remote operations. The Model 1801 panel comes in a standard 19� rackmount configuration. This panel can be used with a variety of existing systems to provide a user configurable display and control station.

Operation
The Model 1801 can be connected to Model 18/18+ to provide a centralized status and control point. Each of the 16 toggle switches can be connected to various motors, pumps, etc. to furnish on/off control. The 16 LEDs can be connected to points in a process such as flow sensors, level sensors, thermostats, etc. to indicate status.

General
The Model 1801 provides a cost-effective, off the shelf alternative to custom fabricating display and switch panels for different applications. The Model 1801 will work with a variety of equipment to furnish an off the shelf control panel that is easy to use, maintain, expand and repair.
