T24-SO Wireless Serial Output Module

The T24-SO creates a serial output ASCII string which can include data from up to 8 T24 acquisition devices and optionally summate them. The output is suitable for connecting to a printer, serial display or for feeding directly into a PC or PLC. The actual ASCII output can be designed by the user which can include free text or tokens to represent real data. i.e. <V1> would be decoded as the value from input module 1 when the output is triggered.

The serial output can consist of a single line of data suitable for feeding into an LED display module, or can have a more complex multi-line result which can contain a mixture of fixed and variable data suitable for printed tickets, receipts etc. The serial output is fixed at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. RS232 and RS485 are supported.

Receivers support common industrial power supplies and are available in robust IP rated enclosures with internal antennas optimised to give outstanding coverage.

The output of the T24-SO can be triggered by the reception of user specified data (i.e. data is only outputted when data is received from a specific acquisition module or when triggered from a handheld device.

The T24 Toolkit software offers a fast and simple way to configure the report format and to choose the associated transmitter modules. The reports could be just a single line giving a value to be fed into a serial display, for example, or could be a multi-line report for delivery to a printer.

The licence free 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology offers high integrity, error free communications which can co-exist with other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Zigbee®. FCC, ETSI and IC approvals.

LCM Systems can supply the T-24 products integrated into various sensors to form a wireless load cell system. There are several standard products which utilise the T24 range, including the TELSHACK, WLLe and RILL ranges.
