RECON-SX Controller
can be used in the automation systems for housing facilities (heat and water),
energy facilities, gas supply of residential and office buildings and industry,
as well as systems of remote monitoring and control (SCADA-systems).
RECON controller won the first price in the Ukraine BASCOM 2010 completion!.
RECON-SX Controller
is designed for:
- Remote
monitoring the status of various objects using digital, parametric and analog
sensors;
- Send
alerts on certain modes of operation of equipment, changes in climate and other
parameters, attempts of unauthorized access;
- Read
and transfer to the control center data from meters and other devices connected
to the interface RS-485/232;
- Control
actuators using relay circuits (automatically or on command from the outside).

RECON-SX controller
processes the information from contacts, analog and parametric digital sensors and
flow meters, produces executive commands, and transmits information on the
status of sensors via cellular, satellite and VHF communications. In addition,
the controller can accept control commands and queries about its state.
Controller RECON-SX
is a device that has a flexible configuration. The algorithm of the controller
RECON-SX under different regimes is determined by its configuration with the
help of special software REconfig, supplied with the controller.
Appearance of
controller RECON-SX is shown in Fig.1.

RECON-SX controller
receives signals from sensors of different types:
- different
types of analog sensors with an output signal (0-20 V, 0-20 mA).
- sensors
with potential-free contact interface, for example:
- magnetic probes of opening / closing
doors and windows; - motion sensors; - glass break sensors; - maximum allowable concentrations of
various gases exceeding sensors;
- sensors
with an open collector interface, for example:
- smoke detectors; - sensors of water leakage;
- sensors
with TTL interface, including signaling circuits of manufacturing equipment;
- air
or coolant temperature sensors;
- humidity
sensors.
RECON-SX controller
can manage via the relays different actuators and systems, such as:
- solenoid
valves of water / gas overlap; - electromagnetic
locks; - electric
motors; - electrical
actuators; - sirens; - lighting.
Switching of controller’s
relays is within user-defined algorithms, as well as by commands from a
terminal, a GSM or a dispatch center.
