The M7 UHF data
transceiver is a
rugged 1-5 watt UHF
data radio modem
with an RS-232(or
optional 422/485)
serial interface,
perfect for SCADA
and telemetry
applications. It has
an optional GPS and
IP65 weatherproof
aluminum enclosure
for use in AVL and
asset tracking
applications.
|
Long-Range
Operation
Operating in the
UHF 450-470MHz
frequency band,
the RV-M7 radio
modem works over
50 miles
point-to-point
and many miles
with
omni-directional
antennas. All
RV-M7 modems
support
store-and-forward
repeating for
wide-area
coverage.
|
|
OTA
Configuration
The ID of a
particular
transponder and
certain system
parameters such
as report rate
may be
configured
Over-The-Air,
without having
to physically
connect to the
unit. |
|
Fast Polling
The M7
transceiver has
a 3mS PLL in it,
making it one of
the fastest
telemetry radios
available,
especially well
suited for
polled, DNP and
MODBUS
applications.
|
|
Real-time
diagnostics and
statistics
Channel
performance,
RSSI, RF power
packet counters,
and radio
configuration
are easily
accessed via the
serial port or
remotely
over-the-air. An
Auot-Status
deature enables
the RV-M7 to
periodically
report its
status and DC
voltage.
|
|
High Speed
and High
Efficiency
Teh RV-M7
operated with
user-selectable
over-the air
data rates of
1200 to
19200bps. Faster
increased
communication
range. Its
fast-switching
radio enables it
to send up to 50
transmissions
per second.
|
|
Very Low
Power
Consumption
The advanced UHF
transceiver is
integrated with
a powerful
16-bit
microprocessor-based
modem
in one easy-to
mount package.
It has very low
power
consumption, and
sleep modes that
allow it to be
active and
consume almost
no power at all. |
|
GPS Option
The optional
internal GPS
allows the RV-M7
to be a powerful
Automatic
Vehicle Locating
(AVL) system or
Time Space
Position
Information (TSPI)
reporting
device.
|
|
Rugged and
Weather Proof
The RV-M7 is
available with
optional IP65
rated
weatherproof
connections and
enclosure. All
models include
protection
against damage
from
over-temperature,
high VSWR, and
reverse voltage.
|
|
Fully
Programmable
It is configured
with a serial
connection using
industry-standard
AT commands.
Parameters such
as network IDs,
unit ID and
transmission
rate are easily
configured.
Raveon also
provides a PC
program called
"Radio Manager"
that makes
configuring the
M7 a snap.
|
|
Flexible
Addressing and
Error Correction
The RV-M7 uses a
16 bit address
with 16 bit
network mask,
allowing for
many devices to
be co-located
without
receiving each
other, as well
as the creation
of sophisticated
network
topologies. |
