eDAS networking
Figure 6 above illustrates a typical distribution of a number of eDAS
(
NODES
) networked on a 485 BUS connection. If needed, this BUS can
serve as well to carry the power supply from the additional Powerbox.
The maximum number of
eDAS
units in a network is 255 and the
distance from the first to the furthest node, provided that a suitable
supply source is available, can reach as far as 1 km.
In Fig. 6 you can also notice that it is possible to communicate with the
network either
remotely
via a GSM modem or
locally
via a
PC/Notebook
