Monitoring and Control

• Allows Alarm and Monitoring & Control of LNB and BDC
• Standard Fieldbus RS-485 electrical and MODBUS RTU interface

First this allows you to monitor several alarms and key parameters and therefor see faults and even predict them. This is a big help when troubleshooting, for example if the temperature is too high or you detect a voltage drop in the unit, you could remedy the issue without having to send a field technician to the site. Less downtime and less overhead costs.

M&C makes digital control simple and dynamic, for instance, switch between different bands or quickly adjust the gain accordingly. No need for special equipment or buying custom products – instead adjust control parameters to your needs.

And finally, we can use this digital interface for instant fine-tune for best performance or modify customizable parameters prior to shipping.

Control examples
Band switching, Gain offset, Alarm trigger, Persistent alarm, Alarm output, Temp ºC or F, GPO output, Modbus rtu parity mode

Monitor examples
