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.
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.
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).
