System Structure
Each module is connected by an integral side connector that supplies internal communications and power.
- Consists of a RF/CPU serving as the brains of the system
- Another component is the selected power module
- As many output (relay or other) or input modules as needed for the application can be added
- LED lights provide diagnostics for each individual module
- Each module has up to four removable connectors for easy wiring and replacement of any modules
Range of Modules Available
- Power supply modules: 120/230 Vac and 9-36 Vdc
- Two-way and high power 125mW (2000+ foot) RF modules
- Digital and analog input modules
- RS-232, RS-422, and CAN-BUS serial communication modules
- Mechanical relay output modules
- Analog (0 to +/- 10 Vdc) output modules
Versatile and Customizable Design
- Engineered system offers the choice of I/O and RF power
- System can expand for different applications, making it ideal for plant wide use
- Features 35mm din rail mountable modules
- Systems requiring data feedback such as load weight are available
- Can be coupled with a user-operated transmitter or configured with another Flex M for point-to-point communications
Radio Drive Serial Interface (RDSI)
The RDSI module is designed to communicate via a serial interface to directly control Magnetek’s IMPULSE®•G+/VG+ Series 4, Series 3, and IMPULSE®•G+ Mini Adjustable Frequency Crane Controls (consult factory for compatibility if you have an existing RDSI setup with a Series 2 drive). It provides users with diagnostic and troubleshooting information on the ground so there is no need to get up on the crane.
- Automatically detects drive types
- Eliminates the need for drive contactors
- Provides feedback parameters directly from the drive, including Drive Status, Output Frequency, Output Voltage, Output Current, Output Power, and Torque Reference
- Reduces system costs by eliminating relay cards, excessive wiring and labor
