Licensed and Spread Spectrum Unlicensed Radio Modems

Industrial Strength Radios

Control Microsystems introduces the SCADAWave series of state-of-the-art digital data radios, offering ease-of-use, flexibility and advanced performance features. With tough environmental specifications and support for industry-standard protocols DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101 and MODBUS, SCADAWave radios are designed for use in the most demanding of SCADA environments. All SCADAWave products are Class I, Div 2-compliant and are backed by an industry-leading 3 year warranty.

The product line encompasses the licensed SCADAWave E and M-Series, and the unlicensed Ultra-Series, each boasting its own unique set of system configurations and functionality.

For applications requiring the complete range of communication elements, from advanced remote units to full-feature base stations, repeaters and bridges, the Ultra-Series provides all these in a single package, utilizing secure, unlicensed 900MHz spread-spectrum data transmission, innovative collision-avoidance and multiple data stream technologies.

The SCADAWave E-Series offers 450MHz half and full-duplex remote variants, as well as battle-hardened base station/repeater and hot-standby base station controller units.

The 450MHz remote M-Series returns high performance at a fraction of the cost of other comparable radios and may also be integrated with E-Series radio networks for added flexibility.

As the most powerful tool in the wireless communication toolbox, SCADAWave Manager is used to configure all SCADAWave-Series radios locally or remotely, and to provide useful system diagnostics and communication performance data, ensuring that the radio network is setup and tuned for optimum performance.

To round out the product line, optional SCADAWave accessories are offered, including Omni and YAGI antennas, an antenna duplexer and an analog voice-to-digital data stream converter.

SCADAWave Ultra Series

As the first member of the premier SCADAWave Ultra-Series, the KR50 packs a lot into one compact package. This powerhouse may be configured as an advanced remote, a full-feature repeater/bridge or in a redundant hot stand-by system with select E-Series products.

Many innovative features have been incorporated into the KR50, including multiple data stream support, channel sharing and network bridging, ensuring that even the most challenging of SCADA systems will benefit from optimized data transmission and bandwidth utilization.

For added convenience and flexibility, the Ultra KR50 has dual user data serial ports, an internal multiplexer and a separate system port providing system-wide network management access and interruption-free ‘hot’ user configuration. The product’s single site, multi-master synchronization feature allows for the simultaneous transmission of data with no Tx and Rx interference, thereby increasing system capacity considerably over similar competitor products.

The KR50 boasts true high-speed data rates of up to 230kbps, low power consumption with a dynamic sleep mode and a wide operating temperature range of -40º to +70ºC (-40º to 158ºF).

SCADAWave E-Series

• Licensed 370-520MHz band operation
• Up to 19,200bps over-air data rates
• Superior receiver sensitivity
• 128-bit AES encryption
• Half and Full Duplex remote variants
• Base and hot-swappable standby base station variants
• Class 1, Div 2, Groups A, B, C & D Hazardous Approval
• 3-year warranty (parts and labor)

Pushing the limits of 450MHz radio technology to the edge and beyond, the SCADAWave E-Series of data radios offers all the performance, power and flexibility needed to meet the communications requirements of today’s complex SCADA systems.

The E-Series is comprised of dedicated half (ER50) and full-duplex (ER55) remote radio variants, a base station model (EB60) and a hot stand-by base station controller (EH70) that provides true redundant base station radio operation.

The products are fully user-configurable for transmitter power, frequency tuning (~13 MHz sub bands) and data port performance parameters, are equipped with a dedicated system port and have dual serial user ports and integrated multiplexer that can facilitate remote RTU configuration.

Like their cousin the Ultra KR50, E-Series radios take advantage of innovative features such as support for multiple data streams, collision-avoidance algorithms and network management and remote diagnostics.

E-Series products are engineered for extreme installations with robust metal-alloy remote radio housings, high duty-cycle base stations and an operating temperature range of -30 to +60ºC (-22 to 140ºF).

SCADAWave M-Series

• 395-520MHz band operation
• Up to 9600bps true over-air data rates
• Synthesized digital data radio design
• High frequency stability
• Compact, low cost, remote data radio unit
• Compatible with E-Series
• Base/Repeater and Hot Standby Base stations
• Class 1, Div 2, Groups A, B, C & D Hazardous Approval
• 3-Year Warranty (parts and labor)

Combining excellent performance with versatility, the SCADAWave MR40 is a compact, affordable and easy-to-use remote digital data radio.

The MR40’s straightforward RS232 interface and 9600bps over-air data transfer rate perfectly situates the product as the radio of choice in small to medium-sized SCADA systems requiring reasonable functionality and return on investment.

The MR40 offers an on board memory buffer allowing user interface speeds of up to 19,200kbps, full CRC error-checked data and an optional analog interface that is ideal for migrating legacy SCADA systems from analog to digital technology.

The MR40 is compatible with specially enabled E-Series products, making the product even more capable than similarly-equipped competitor radios.

Like all SCADAWave products, the MR40 is built for use in demanding environments with an operational temperature range of -30 to +60ºC (-22 to 140ºF), a high temperature frequency stability rating of +/- 1.5ppm and high temperature fold-back Tx protection (@70 ºC/140 ºF).
