POWERCOM®

POWERCOM® - Digital data transmission in combination with conductor Cat. 9c

Digital data transfer is part of today's technology and used increasingly for mobile machinery such as cranes, AS/AR systems, gantry cranes, monorails etc. Extensive investigations and research have led to the development of a reliable, interference-free data transmission system that we market under the name 'POWERCOM'. Two different systems are available:

1. The VAHLE-POWERCOM system transfers data between two computer interfaces by means of a VAHLE conductor system or by VAHLE slip ring assemblies (point to point transfer). It is a two-wire system providing full duplex transmission with a maximum transmission speed of 9600 baud between two computers or microprocessors.

2. POWERCOM 3 (multi-drop transmission)POWERCOM 3 is a communication processor to transmit computer data between a central unit and up to 30 slaves by means of a 2-phase conductor system. It is a half-duplex transmission at a max. speed of 19200 baud.

   The following standard protocols are available:

   • SINEC-L1 protocol to control the L1-Industry Bus System with the use of automation unit S 5.
   • SINEC-L2-FMS with 19200 bit/sec for max 127 users according to DIN 19425 part 1 (PROFIBUS)
   • Transparent protocol for all other applications with CPU automation units
   • Protocol 3964 R.

Applications:

• cranes
• AS/AR systems
• electric monorails
• transfer cars
• tooling shuttles
• coke-oven cars
• cranes scales
• etc.
