Description

The Communicator II is an optional hand-held remote that can define the function and manage the operation of one or more EDXtreme dynamometers using wired or radio technologies. Through the programmable SOFTKEY interface, one or more Communicators can monitor multiple dynamometers within the same airspace. In multiple-link lifting arrays, the Communicator can display readings at any or all lift points and calculate the total load.

Configuration Options

A basic stand-alone model can be easily upgraded “in-the-field” to accommodate changing needs. Remote configuration, data acquisition, an audible alarm and single point monitoring of multiple links are all possible with the hardwired or radio communication options available with the EDXtreme. An RS-232 interface is standard on both the EDXtreme and Communicator for connection to a host PC.

Typical Configurations

1.  Stand-alone EDx for direct measurement applications.
2.  Single network with one EDx radio dynamometer and Communicator.
3.  Single network with multiple EDx dynamometers and one Communicator. The Communicator monitors the load at each scale, plus the total weight.
4.  Single network with two, three or four Communicators.
5.  Multiple networks with multiple EDx dynamometers and Communicators.
