RF transmitter sends data via multiple 'buses'.A new radio-frequency data transmitter from ABB's Low Voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains Products Div. in Wichita Falls, Texas Wichita Falls is a city in Wichita County, Texas, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 104,197. It is the principal city of the Wichita Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area, which encompasses all of Archer, Clay and Wichita counties. , is a fieldbus transmitter that contains a microprocessor and protocol converter (networking) protocol converter - A device or program to translate between different protocols which serve similar functions (e.g. TCP and TP4). Some call this a "gateway", though others use that term for other kinds of internetworking device. so it can switch "bus" protocols at will. It transmite data via Profibus, DeviceNet, and CAN protocols as well as the more conventional Mod-bus using an omnidirectional antenna to reach sensors over a mile away. It can collect wireless data from multiple processing operations in a large plant or on a long processing line or from moving parts with embedded RFID tags. The multi-bus unit costs $1400; radio antennas for data transmission from each machine range from $80 to $300. ABB n. 1. Among weavers, yarn for the warp. Hence, Noun 1. ABB - an urban hit squad and guerrilla group of the Communist Party in the Philippines; formed in the 1980s also has new wireless sensors that need no batteries. Instead, the wire loop for the low-frequency (120-kHz) antenna generates a magnetic field from the radio transmission itself. Powered only by that magnetic field, it can transmit 2.4 GB of high-speed data. Tel: (469) 648-3720 * PT Direct: 344SP |
