Product Description

Central to the collection and distribution of process data from Accutech field units are the Accutech base radios. These radios provide ultra-efficient communication to a maximum of 100 field units in a star network and can be overlapped with up to 256 other networks in the same area. Data is transferred to the SCADA network or directly to a host via serial Modbus. Both process data from the field units and control commands to the field units are handled by the base radios. Options are available for integrated long-haul data radios within the base unit, allowing for extended reach between your wireless sensor network and your operations network. 

BR10

         
     
Base radio BR10
Description
 
         
      
The Accutech BR10 is the explosion proof version of our base radio, offering easy installation in Class I, Div 1 / Zone 1 hazardous environments. The unit automatically communicates with all deployed field units attached to it in a local area star network and makes the field data available to an existing SCADA network or host system through serial Modbus. Each base radio can accommodated up to 100 field units in a single network with data rates as often as 1sec on all measured points. Up to 256 wireless sensor networks can operate in the same area yielding unlimited scalability.
The BR10 comes with a PC-based configuration and diagnostics tool that minimises installation and maintenance efforts.
 
         
     
Benefits
 
         
     
 
  • Secure, license-free, spread-spectrum technology
 
  • Push button LCD interface for configuration and display
 
  • Serial Modbus RTU over RS-485
 
  • Optional high gain antenna
 
  • 9-38VDC Input Power
 
  • Rated for industrial use: -40 to +185°F (-40 to +85°C)
 
  • Explosion-proof, weather-proof, and corrosion-proof housing.
 
  • CSA Class 1, Div1 (xp), ATEX/IECEx –d Zone 1
 
         
     
Applications
 
         
     
Used in any application where process variable measurement is hard to reach, costly to wire or hard to install. Accutech base radios can connect with our complete range of devices including pressure, temperature, flow, digital I/O, analog inputs, level, and more. 

Any industry that operates processes at a distance and requires autonomous robust equipment that may require hazardous zone certification is a candidate for Accutech. Examples include oil and gas applications in upstream wellhead automation or pipeline monitoring, water and wastewater process monitoring and open mining operations. A wide range of other industries make use of Accutech base radios and field devices in applications that require long lasting autonomous process monitoring at a distance.

Base Radio BR20 
Description
 
         
      
The Accutech BR20 base radio offers the same performance of the BR10 along with additional long haul data radio options all packaged in a DIN-rail mounted enclosure for use in Class I, Div 2 / Zone 2 installations.

The unit automatically communicates with all deployed field units attached to it in a local area star network and makes the field data available to an existing SCADA network or host system through serial Modbus. Each base radio can accommodated up to 100 field units in a single network with data rates as often as 1sec on all measured points. Up to 256 wireless sensor networks can operate in the same area yielding unlimited scalability. The BR20 offers an optional integrated long-haul data radio, allowing for extended reach between your wireless sensor network and your operations network.

The BR20 comes with a PC-based configuration and diagnostics tool that minimises installation and maintenance efforts.
