Re: [WISPA] Wireless Relay Control (Scada?)

2009-08-07 Thread Scott Reed
 From someone I know who does SCADA for a living:

If I understand the scenario, then I would recommend wireless IO radios 
manufactured by Phoenix Contact.  

 

-They are small

-Easy to configure

-Reliable

 

 

I have them installed at several customer sites and have not had to 
follow up with any service calls whatsoever.  The only disadvantage is 
that they are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for.  I would 
strongly suggest protecting the transceiver from the power source and 
installing interposing relays on the I/O points.  A little bit of surge 
protection and isolation can save a lot of heart ache and money.

 

Let me know if you need any additional help.

 Would a SCADA product do this? No need for anything serial or
 ethernet, just need to switch a relay on and off.

How about this? http://www.controlbyweb.com/webrelay/ I've used these before 
and it works pretty well. If you use 2 of them together, you do not need to use 
a computer.

Wireless, wireless, and wireless. There is no IP path or hardware
connection at all. I am looking for something compact that can be
outdoor mounted, or crammed in to an enclosure, with an RF interface
built in. I am open to using an IP based device if I must, and adding
on a cheap wireless ethernet bridge, but would prefer an all in one
unit.

They also make pager based units  Pretty cool stuff.

Lee with Hutton should know where to get them.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Relay Control (Scada?)

2009-08-06 Thread AJ
You can ham it, using a DTMF controller at the site you're looking to
switch on  off, feeding audio to it off of a scanner or other inexpensive
radio receiver (or even a phone line), using a handheld or mobile radio at
the local site to send DTMF tones.

The control board is around $100, inexpensive receiver for less than $50 on
eBay, used mobile VHF radio for perhaps $100, programmed on MURS under
license-free operation or (gasp) perhaps FRS (no license) or GMRS
(inexpensive license).

I use a number of these here locally to control lighting on towers (i.e.
holiday seasons), backup power tests, remote unlock/locking of shelter
doors, etc.
