DX-10

The DX-10 is a device used to regroup and sometimes power wired Data-Loggers into a network accessible directly from the office computer.

In the DX-10, each Data-Logger is assigned a network address. The DX-10 can then route direct communication between the office computer and the Data-Logger. It can also route automatic data transfers from its Data-Loggers to the office computer.

Using DX-10s has the advantage of limiting the effects of a cut wire to the one DX-10 that is affected, instead of the whole network.

BENEFITS

  • Access any Data-Logger on the network from the office computer.
  • Automate data transfers.
  • Distributed architecture makes every entrance independent and unaffected by potential troubles at other entrances.
  • Data-Logger powering option permits counting in areas where a local power source is not available.
  • Infodev's support team’s ability to access the Data-Loggers directly provides you with enhanced support.
  • Long-range networking: the Data-Loggers can communicate with the office computer up to 2 miles away.
  • High-speed networking: reach speeds up to 115 200 bps.
  • Create sub-networks using multiplexers to reduce and simplify wiring.
    • Each Data-Logger group is independent: a broken wire will not affect the operation of other groups.
  • Networking can be done using standard 4-conductor cables.
  • The DX-10 can provide power to the Data-Loggers and sensors connected to it.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The DX-10 is installed at various locations in the building. Data-Loggers are connected to one DX-10. The DX-10s are connected to one central unit in the office. The office computer is connected to the central DX-10. The computer can connect directly to each Data-Logger. Each Data-Logger can transfer its data automatically to the office computer.
