Automata - FC Field Controller

Field Controllers can be located remotely wherever they are needed for controlling equipment and/or reading sensors in real-time or data logging. Various types of communications (including infrared, radio including license free spread spectrum, hard wire, phone, and cellular phone) between Field Controllers and the base station computer are supported. Systems as small as those containing one Field Controller site, or as large as those with hundreds of sites, can economically be implemented. A selection of base station software (including data acquisition and control programs) is available for PC compatible computers.

Each of the following models is cable of reading 8 analog (10 bit) sensors and 4 event sensors. A 12V
battery is included with each model.

•  FC-WIRE is a real time hard-wired station. Includes cable to computer.
• LOG-FC functions as a data logger. Includes cable to computer and 128K memory.
• IR-FC communicates via infrared data transmission.
• RF-FC communicates via radio. Includes Model VHF-OMNI-3, narrow band or spread
  spectrum antenna.
• PH-FC communicates via phone. Includes phone modem and 128K memory.

All are expandable with an expanded chassis for up to 32 analog inputs, 8 event inputs, and 32 control
outputs (or 16 status inputs and 32 control outputs).
