A Control Microsystems product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 29, 2007

The 5913 serial to Bluetooth adapter connects directly to a ScadaPack controller's RJ45 serial port using an included 24in cable.

Two new Bluetooth interface products from Control Microsystems offer a wireless connection option to replace direct serial connections, which are difficult to create in many field installations.

"We are very pleased with the addition of Bluetooth technology to our communication product line", says Dale Symington, Vice President Product Strategy, Control Microsystems.

"Now the retrieval of accurate and secure measurement data from remote installations, often in harsh or inaccessible locations, will be quicker, easier and much more practical for field personnel".

The 5913 serial to Bluetooth adapter connects directly to a ScadaPack controller's RJ45 serial port using an included 24in cable and is powered through this cable link by the ScadaPack.

The 5913 is shipped from the factory as a discoverable Bluetooth slave device and may be used with any compatible Bluetooth device, such as an internal Bluetooth transceiver on a PC or laptop computer.

The 5914 USB to Bluetooth transceiver is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Bluetooth transceiver that adds master Bluetooth connectivity to devices such as desktop personal computers and more commonly, laptop computers, operating as a Bluetooth master when communicating with a 5913.

The product is shipped with a configuration software CD.

These products are rated for use in Electrical Equipment for Use in Class I, Division 2 Groups A, B, C and D Hazardous Locations and are CCSAUS approved.

The 5913 serial to Bluetooth adapter starts at US $360.00.

The 5914 USB to Bluetooth transceiver starts at US $140.00.

Both products are available for immediate delivery.
