Introduction
Data-Linc Group’s SRM6200E-SLC has been designed to mount in an Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Slot Rack. The SRM6200E-
SLC transceiver modem is a high performance, wireless radio modem designed for heavy-duty industrial data
communications in the 902-928 MHz license-free band. It employs advanced spread spectrum frequency hopping and error
detection technology to achieve very reliable, noise and interference immune operation. A high RF data rate of 188kbps and
superior sensitivity provide ultra reliable data integrity. The SRM6200E-SLC has a rated range of up to 25 miles (40 km) and
an installed range of up to 35 miles (56 km) in optimal conditions with line-of-sight and an omni directional antenna. This can
also be extended further with repeaters or higher gain antenna.
The SRM6200E-SLC can be operated in a number of different modes to satisfy a broad range of communications
requirements. It can be configured for point-to-point or multi-point operation with an unlimited number of remote sites on a
single master depending on data throughput requirements. Repeaters can be used in the system to extend range and
eliminate dead RF zones that are blocked by obstructions.
An external antenna can be used with up to two hundred feet of coax. This provides a boost in signal strength and decreases
induced noise levels. With an external antenna, radio modems can be located inside buildings or metallic enclosures.
Equipped with a 10 Base-T Ethernet port, the SRM6200E-SLC is easily connected via standard 10 Base-T Category 5 patch
cord (provided) to an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/05 CPU ENET port, hub or any other device equipped with a 10 Base-T network
interface.
The User Guide covers the operating modes and configurations that are available to users of the SRM6200E-SLC. It also
provides the user with bench testing instructions, technical information and specifications.
In most applications, the SRM6200E-SLC comes pre-configured for the application in which it is going to be used. In most
cases no other configuration is required. If you are unsure if the modem needs further configuration, please contact Data-Linc
Group.
