Installation and Configuration Manual

PRODUCT PRESENTATION

The 

ReteMatic™  Network  Infrastructure

 

has  been  designed  to  meet  the  application  needs  required  by

industrial  and  harsh  environments  by  combining  power  and  robust  data  communication  over  a  single
medium, the standard power cable.

IP-RMH1

  is  a  ReteMatic  Head  Unit,  originating  a  ReteMatic  bus  to  which  up  to  ten  Field  Units  can  be

connected. It provides one 10/100 Ethernet port to connect the ReteMatic network to a standard Ethernet
network, a Power Inlet which connects to a wide range AC power source, and a ReteMatic outlet where the
input power, adequately treated, is combined with the data communication to create a ReteMatic bus.

The  hardened  design  of  this  unit  allows  to  achieve  its  full  performance  even  under  heavy  environmental
conditions, and the connectivity at up to 100 Mbps PHY rate is suitable for audio and video streaming. With
energy saving features and easy installation, the IP-RMH1 makes it easy to build up a ReteMatic network to
connect standard Ethernet devices for the most demanding field applications.
