TReX-PLC AUTOMATION I/O MESSAGING TRANSCEIVER

TReX-460-PLC Radio Programmable Logic Controller
TReX-460-PLC Radio Programmable Logic Controller
TReX PLC OVERVIEW
​The TReX PLC is an Ethernet high power transceiver with inbuilt programmable logic controller for general automation, telemetry and radio messaging.
TReX series transceivers are secure, high speed, long range wireless UHF data radios built to endure the stresses of daily use in harsh conditions that will keep you working with complete confidence, saving you time and money.
RADIO OPTIMISED SCADA PLC
Simplify your systems - high power radio, PLC, IO and direct urgent messaging all in one unit.  Automate your own solution, monitor and configure on-site with standard ladder logic without the need of an external PC - or use WTE PLC development and simulation software.  The TReX PLC allows messaging and output control using timers, counters, inputs and outputs.    Allows controlling of outputs or transmitting of messages under user program control.
TReX PLC APPLICATIONS​
  • Oil and Gas - Monitor well heads, processes and gas flows.  Control of lifts, water injection, pilot lights and custody transfer.  
  • Emergency Assembly - First aid alert and muster station communications.
  • Water and Wastewater - Pumping and process control.  Overtemperature, fire, leak and over-pressure detection and reporting.  Logging of approved levels and limits to meet auditing requirements.  Cathodic protection control.  Water quality monitoring.  
  • Security - Intruder detection and reporting direct to paging receivers or DMR radios.  Clock configurable access zones.
  • Power - Fault indication and  customer metering.
  • Mining - Water level sensing, emergency alerting and IS underground messaging.  Gas detection reporting.
  • Message Displays - Traffic management, parking and portable traffic light systems.
  • Agricultural and Environment - Weather and level reporting and logging.  Soil and temperature monitoring.  Automatic control of frost protection systems for critical crops.  Fertilizer application and irrigation control.
  • Building Automation - Refrigeration fail alarms, security systems, lighting and heating control.   Secure door/gate access for vehicles.  Fire monitoring and reporting.
  • Commercial Premises - Elevator and escalator control and urgent monitoring.   Lighting, security team alerting, customer assistance transmitters.
  • Industry - Conveyor belt systems, mixing systems, process control and fault reporting.  Urgent fault reporting direct to maintenance staff.  Industrial washing consumable refill reporting.  Car washing systems.
PLC CAPABILITIES​
  • PLC automation of systems.
  • Transmit and receive POCSAG paging messages.
  • Send DMR text messages.
  • ​Operate as an IoT gateway allowing control and monitoring from devices supporting the MQTT protocol.
  • Mirror analog and digital inputs to a remote unit autonomously without the need for a supervising computer. 
  • Use standard SCADA systems to monitor and control many TReX units working together in a wireless network.
  • Transmit and receive serial and telemetry data at high data rates.
  • Inspect potential site interference using the integrated spectrum analyser. 
  • Report system and installation errors, such as loss of communications, faults to antennas and battery states.​
