Small to midsized facilities can be controlled by multiple Kontar™ series MC8 Kontrollers™ connected in an RS-485 based Master/Slave configuration (up to 32 Kontrollers).

 

The Master Kontroller may be equipped with an interface card to communicate with a PDA device, notebook computer or desktop PC running the Kontar™ Konsole™ application. This program provides complete access to all the variables and parameters of the Kontrollers on the RS485 LAN.

 

Alternatively, the Kontroller can be connected to the Ethernet through the WebLinker™ interface card. This allows the Kontroller to be accessible from anywhere on the Local Area Network (LAN) through the Kontar™ Konsole™ application. If LAN is connected to the Internet, the Kontroller is accessible from anywhere in the world through Arecont's Global Hub and the Kontar™ SCADA™ interface.

 

If a wired Internet connection is not available, a GPRS or CDMA modem with the CMDA/GPRS Access card may be used to connect to the Internet.

An MC8 Kontar™ Kontroller™ can be used for local control of a single machine - air conditioner, boiler, furnace, industrial equipment, etc. The Kontroller may be equipped with an interface card to communicate with a PDA device, notebook computer or desktop with the Kontar™ Konsole™ application installed. This program provides complete access to all the variables and parameters of the Kontroller.

Alternatively, the Kontroller can be connected to Ethernet through the WebLinker™ interface card. This allows the Kontroller to be accessible from anywhere on the Local Area Network (LAN) through the Kontar™ Konsole application. If LAN is connected to the Internet, the Kontroller is accessible from anywhere in the world through Arecont's Global Hub and the Kontar™ SCADA™ interface.

If a machine requires more I/Os than a single Kontroller can handle, up to 32 Kontrollers may be linked in a Master/Slave configuration.

If a wired Internet connection is not available, a GPRS or CDMA modem with the CMDA/GPRS Access card may be used to connect to the Internet.

 

Controlling a large facility may require more than 32 Kontar™ Kontrollers™. In this case it is necessary to use a multi-master control system. All master Kontrollers are connected to a dedicated or general facility Ethernet based LAN, and configured so that the Arecont Global Hub™ will view the Kontrollers as a single integrated system.

 

Any Master Kontroller may be equipped with an interface card to communicate with a PDA device, notebook computer or desktop PC running the Kontar™ Konsole™ application. This program provides complete access to all the variables and parameters of the Kontrollers on the RS485 LAN.
