Easy alarm status telemetry at remote facilities
The Pulsar Telelog from Jekyll Electronic Technology is a major innovation for companies wishing to add alarm status telemetry at remote facilities.
Jekyll is offering customer advice on how go faster than a 56K modem and engineers are able to customise Fastlink modems according to individual applications.
The time it takes for a modem to establish a link, even before data transmission has begun, is a major contributor to the total length of a telemetry call.
High-speed modems normally take longer to establish a link, so the problem is not solved by simply increasing the datarate.
Such time delays can significantly mount up for operators who run extended remote telemetry networks, but are only interested in downloading amounts of data of around 10Kbyte from each site.
The Telemodem2 Fastlink reduces connecting sequence times by up to four times.
In the time it takes a conventional modem to establish a call, Fastlink is able to link up, download the data and disconnect.
The result is more calls in a given period, reduced call costs per outstation, faster response times for remote access, and reduced outstation battery drain.
Fewer telephone lines and modems are required at central data collection sites so equipment costs are reduced further still.
Fastlink also has the advantages of a 14,400bit/s high speed datarate, compact size, low power requirement, and remote diagnostics for minimal on site visits.
Electronic engineers can link the Fastlink to any suitable meter, monitor or gauge for added value to any remote telemetry application.
