The SD Series handles concurrent Ethernet and serial traffic from multiple sources. Directly communicate to multiple PLCs using the built-in serial device server and modem-sharing device using industry-standard TCP or UDP protocols.

SDxP Redundant/Protected Models

The SDxP is used when applications demand no single point of failure for the communications system. The MDS SDxP incorporates two MDS SD transceivers and power supplies with automatic or manual switchover capability. On detection of a failure, the MDS SDxP switches immediately to the standby transceiver. The switchover occurs for selectable transceiver alarm conditions. Switchover also occurs when no valid packets are received in a time frame of 1–30 minutes, or upon loss of power to the operating radio. An internal backup battery is provided in AC-powered models for continued operation during a loss of primary power.

Master Station & Repeater Station
