SYSTEM EXAMPLE
The following example of a system is a comprehensive guide to using some of the features of
the 105 range and design of 105 system.
The example application is a pump station which supplies water from a reservoir to a tank
station. Signals are transferred between the pump station and tank station by radio - the
distance between the two stations is 1.5 km (1 mile), and the radio path is heavily obstructed
by buildings and trees. A control station is located near the pump station, and there is an
existing signal cable between the control station and the pump station.
A 105U-1 module is installed at the pump station (with address 1) and a 105U-2 module is
installed at the tank station (with address 2). Because the signal cable to the control station
does not have enough cores for all of the signals required, the signal cable is used as a RS485
cable and a 105S-3 module is installed at the control station (with address 96). As this
module has an address greater than 95, the 105U-1 at the pump station will communicate to it
via its serial port.
The following diagram represents the system :-
