Wireless Transmitter for Remote Pulse Recognition

12/10/2010 3:57 AM

Hello,

I would like to know what i can use to transmit a signal wireless to a remote computer when a relay is activated or deactivated.. A relay pulse status has to reach the computer in a binary basis.. can you advice on how it can be done.. ?

Reg,

Hari

Data radios are available with discrete I/O and analog I/O and can be configured for RS232, 422, 485, MODBUS, or Ethernet protocols. Software choices are up to you depending on the process involved. Here's some radios I've used. Let us know a little more about what you're trying to do.

I am providing a low cost CNC machine monitoring system for my company.. in this my job is to fetch the inputs of the machine into the software which does the monitoring and reporting.. I need a wireless solution for it.. any idea how i can extract data??

Suppose the relay were not far away, but right next to the PC, close enough to wire into the PC. How would you handle 'reading' the status of the relay?

All wireless does is it replaces wire.

If a given wireless solution provided a Modbus word reflecting the status of the relay's contacts in a specific register at the PC end as a one or a zero, how would you handle that?

The problem is that the source is a dust and heat generating machine.. thats why i dont wanna keep the comp near it... nd wiring out the inputs throught the industry will not be a good option.. thats why want wireless..

>"job is to fetch the inputs of the machine into the software which does the monitoring and reporting.."

The first question to answer is how would you do this with wires? How does this software get this kind of information when data can be fetched on wiring? Where would the wires run to ? Which port?

What communications options are available for gathering data from outside the software environment? Is this software already communications literate? Can it communicate with the outside world beyond keyboard input?
