For Serial, Leased-Line or Dial-up Connection                          
specsheet

   Features:
  • Bi-directional Communication using a RS232/485 Serial Bus Link
  • Uses MODBUS Protocol for Reliable Data Transfer
  • 1 Dry Contact and 1 Analog Input
  • 1 'C' Relay Contact and 1 Analog Output
  • No Calibration Required
  • Microprocessor Controlled for High Accuracy
  • Power: 117 VAC 50/60 Hz (Optional 24 VDC)
  • High Noise Rejection

Function:
The RCI-100-SER is a bi-directional remote communication system that exchanges the status of 1 dry contact inputs and 1 analog inputs between a master and remote unit or a PC. A basic system consists of

A) one master station and one remote station each with 1 dry contact and 1 analog input and 1 'C' relay contact and analog output
OR
B) several remote stations and one PC.

In system A), the master unit can interrogate one remote.


In system B), a PC can interrogate several remote units.

The RCI-100-SER may also be used as a remote in a multi-remote system where 1, 2, 4 or 8 remote units at different sites may communicate with one central master. The
RCI-800-SER may be used to serve as the master.
