Data Communications Systems

VAHLE offer several types of data communication for mobile applications. Mobile electrification combined with data communication and vehicle positioning (see VAHLE APOS system) allows complete full automation for mobile equipment.

VAHLE Powercom 485 is a system that communicates via 2 dedicated conductors to vehicles or carriers on a system (or track). The advantage of this system is the combination of the power transfer via conductor bars with the data communication.

For higher data rates and multiple channels of data (including video and Ethernet) the SMG, Slotted Microwave Guide, system is available. The principle for this system is an antenna mounted to a mobile vehicle that travels within an aluminum extrusion. The RF within the extrusion is immune from outside interference or from causing interference. An advantage of the SMG System is it offers high data rates and high reliability.

Typical applications for (mobile) data communication systems include assembly automation and process equipment as well as entertainment industry applications.

VAHLE Powercom® 485 - Data Transmission System

Ths system uses VAHLE conductors (2) to communication via a 485 network to multiple vehicles on a system. This system can be used with power conductors to provide a complete power/communication system.

SMG Slotted Microwave Guide

Data communication via an enclosure (aluminum waveguide). The system is immune from outside interference and does not cause interference. SMG can operate up to 6 channels of communication and can be configured to work with common industrial PLC networks (plus voice, video and Ethernet).
