МC5 adapter module

МC5 adapter module
Purpose / Description

MC5 Adapter module is a device for collection, temporary storage and data processing from terminal units with subsequent upline to the information collector and data processing centers. The connection with appliances (road controllers, active energy meters, thermoregulators, etc.) is carried out by means of wire lines: RS485, RS232, Ethernet 10Mbit, current loop, “Start” protocol, quantized input/output, USB. Connection with the upper level is performed with the help of both wire lines (RS485, RS232, Ethernet 10Mbit, current loop, “Start” protocol, USB) and wireless GSM/GPRS links. The module supports function in the transparent mode as an interface converter, as well as nontransparent data communications protocols of different manufacturers.

    Performed functions

    МС5 is used for constructing different computerized telemetry and control systems: road traffic automated control systems (ARTACS), automated energy control and metering system (AECMS), automated heating control and metering systems, automated electric lighting control systems, remote intrusion protection systems (control by the cell phone).

    Features & Benefits
    • capability of data exchange via several wire interfaces simultaneously: RS485, RS232, Ethernet 10Mbit, current loop, “Start” protocol, USB 1.0 (either in master or slave mode);
    • GSM/GPRS modem availability;
    • quantized inputs/outputs availability;
    • a current time clock with self-contained battery supply;
    • capability to work in the transparent data exchange mode;
    • capability to reprogram the module for dealing with appliances having unique work protocols/ algorithms;
    • remote module reprogramming;
    • “Start” protocol supporting for data exchange with existing (outdated) light-signal objects controllers;
    • module design diversity with various functional capabilities and prices;
    • possibility to develop a modification with functional capabilities on the customer’s request.
    Its moderate price, compact size, application commonality considerably distinguishes the MC5 module from similar devices on the market.

    The Company manufactures and delivers MC5 adapter modules, which at present are used in (ARTACS) for GPRS links with light-signal objects located in Grodno region. МС5 are involved into (AECMS) project for RUE Beltelecom.
