Spectrum Telemetry Products

tele-RANGER

The locally developed tele-RANGER Telemetry System has shown exceptional performance and adaptability, resulting in the capture of a major share of the Southern African telemetry market. Its field proven, user-friendly modular design has made it the ideal product for the harsh African environment.

tele-RANGER finds application in most walks of life as the technology is employed for purposes of water reticulation, sewage reticulation, electrical reticulation and traffic control. It is also used by water management institutions.

A Central Station can be computer-based with modern powerful SCADA software for sophisticated control and data processing, or Mimic Panel display.

Communications options include Radio (conventional or trunked), Landline, Microwave, Fibre optic and PSTN.

tele-RANGER Features and Benefits:

System sizing

• Suited for systems of 2 to 500 outstations with capacity of up to 500 Input/Output (I/O) per outstation.

• The tele-RANGER compact outstation is an economical solution suitable for smaller remote sites.

  Modular construction

• tele-RANGER can adapt as system requirements change and grow.
• Modules and functions are selected according to user requirements.
• Expansion is easily accomplished by DIN-rail plug-in modules.

  SCADA

• tele-RANGER supports all major local and international SCADA packages.
• Multiple central stations are easily accommodated to provide redundancy for high system reliability.
• Mimic panel solutions are also supported.

  Communication Mediums

• All communication mediums and combinations thereof are supported, e.g.. conventional radio, trunked radio, digital radio, microwave, cable, leased line, dialup modem and cellular.
  
  Store and forward

• tele-RANGER outstations can act as a store-and-forward digital repeater to extend radio coverage areas.
  
  Communication to third party devices

• RS232 ports are provided to communicate with PLC's, intelligent electronic devices (IED's), data loggers, instrumentation, etc.
  
  A wide range of protocol drivers are available for teleranger.
  
  Time stamping
• Real time clocks provide event time stamping at remote sites.
  
  Data security
  teleRANGER employs comprehensive error detection techniques including sixteen bit (CRC), context parsing and acknowledge/retry algorithms. These techniques ensure complete data security.

tele-FLEX

tele-FLEX is an advanced telemetry device providing connectivity to intelligent devices with serial ports and protocols. The device communicates via any media at any speed from radio to TCP/IP. tele-FLEX connects SCADA and HOST software to local or remote field devices.

the Physical tele-FLEX

Din-Rail Industrial Packaging

Modular

A tele-FLEX Node is made up of individual cards that plug into a backplane that is in turn carried by aluminium DIN-rail holder. The individual cards are selected from an array of CPU's, PSU's serial cards, dedicated communications cards (TCI/IP, Device-Net, etc.) and 110 cards. Each card is 35mm wide.

Processor

The CPU is Intel-based. This allows a wide variety of operating systems and software to be accommodated. Applications developed under C+ or C++ can be loaded directly on the tele-FLEX Node. This creates an extremely powerful platform "on the floor" and "in the field".

Applications:

Electrical Networks

Water and Sewage Networks

Industrial Process Control/Mines

Wide area systems
