The AWS Wireless Telemetry Load Measurement System is designed primarily for load lifting systems.
The AWS Wireless Telemetry Load Measurement System (WTLMS) is designed primarily for load lifting systems. Multiple Load Links, each with its own digital telemetry transceivers with self-contained batteries, send the data of the loads to a Gateway Router, which acts as a slave Modbus RTU device. In this application a Modbus to CAN bus converter to a PLC is part of the full lifting system. Alternatively, a wireless display may be used over the gateway router for improved portability.
Additional is a Load Pin for an attached jib crane and a safety Anti 2-Block telemetry switch, again self-powered. The Anti 2-Block switch also comes with a weight and chain.
For efficient operation, minimum maintenance and long battery life, the load link, load pin and switch go to minimum power requirements when not in use for 60 seconds, until woken up when needed.
This application shown in use in a marina is for lifting large boats / vessels from the water for storage or maintenance. The Load Links tell the operator how much he is lifting and how well balanced. The Load Pin and Anti 2-Block switch enables the operator to lift individual units on and off the vessel.
The systems can also be used in harbours for jetties, platforms, etc., in factories for moving large items such as tanks and engines.
Communicates with all other telemetry modules.
Acts as a Modbus Slave device, storing module readings & status' in read-only registers.
Controls wakeup and sleep of all modules on its network.
Networks can be set up with unique keys, ensuring no clash between nearby operating networks.
Can be used to control and alarm lifting actuators, engine control generators and pump.
Sends out data held in Modbus registers as CAN bus messages.
CAN bus message ID matches the telemetry module ID.
Can be used to control and alarm lifting actuators, engine control generators and pumps using the CAN bus message system.
Replaces the Gateway Router's internal antenna when the Gateway Router is mounted within a metal enclosure, for mounting the antenna externally.
60cm cable attached to Antenna as standard, but additional 3m and 5m extensions are available.
Range of 800m.
