The Micro-Controlstar® Specification

< Back to Micro-Controlstar
  • In one device a Logger, RTU, and micro PLC.

  • Data collection over GSM/GPRS, UHF or VHF radio, or PSTN.

  • ZigBee for creating networks of sensors and/ or I/O, avoiding the cost and disruption of cabling.

  • Operates with no external power source, using a solar cell together with an internal secondary battery.

  • Includes a wide range DC input (6-24V) (e.g. from a wall adaptor).

  • Fully remotely programmable Compatible with the Controlstar®, both units can coexist in the same network.

  • Use ‘Fusion’ package for configuring the Micro Controlstar, for optimizing data requirements with a unit's energy usage.

  • A switched voltage source for powering standard instruments.

  • The Micro controlstar has 6 digital inputs, 2 digital open collector outputs, and a single channel 20 bit ADC input, (with a 50/50 Hz notch noise filter).

  • This I/O can be extended with the Controlstar® DIN rail I/O modules.

  • The Micro Controlstar will function as a Controlstar® peripheral enabling Zigbee radio connectivity to a network of local I/O and/ or sensors.

  • Integration of intelligent third party devices, using Modbus RTU (RS232 and RS 485) or the SDI-12 protocol.
