Laird Technologies MMCU-4 radio remote control receiver

Laird Technologies has released its enhanced MMCU-4 radio remote control receiver.

As part of the CattronControl series of remote control systems, the receiver is a configurable modular radio remote control receiver that features four slots that can use a variety of I/O cards, such as output cards with relays, analog outputs, opto-coupler outputs and input cards for analog and digital signals.

The cards are used to transmit data back to the operator, which is displayed on the transmitter unit as numerical values, text information or a combination of both.

Serial interfaces such as Fieldbus or ethernet are also available and can be combined with any I/O cards. For applications requiring more than four cards, an optional enclosure for up to seven cards is available.

The receiver features the addition of a high selectivity RF module which can operate in a TDMA channel access method, allowing for several radio remote control systems to share a single RF channel with several other systems.

Due to the limited number of licensed frequencies available, this new enhancement makes the receiver suitable for users operating critical applications on those licensed frequencies.

The receiver can be used in combination with the CattronControl LRC-M1 and LRC-L1 transmitters. However, a combination with stationary control stations is also common.
