Mounting Instructions

The RediGate is intended to be installed in a Restricted Access Location. When mounting the RediGate, allow sufficient space to connect the cables on the front and rear of the enclosure, depending on any optional hardware components installed. There are two recommended means of mounting the device: panel mount, or DIN rail mount.

RS-485/422 Wiring Diagrams

...

In the United States, the antenna should support the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz frequency bands. In other countries, check to make sure what GSM frequencies are used in order to select the correct antenna. 


Cellular antenna: The cellular connector requires an antenna with a standard male SMA plug and 50 ohm cable, with a minimum cable length of 20 cm and maximum gain (including cable loss) as follows:

...


GPS antenna: The GPS connector requires an antenna with a standard male MCX plug and 50 ohm cable with frequency 1575.42 MHz. The use of an active GPS antenna may achieve better performance, especially when the GPS antenna distance from the device is large.

Certain models of RediGate provide an analog/digital module, allowing the RediGate to be used for data acquisition from up to 16 analog inputs, 8 digital inputs, and 2 analog outputs. The Multi-I/O module (Eurotech model AIM104-MULTI I/O) is factory installed inside the RediGate. A 50-way 'D' type connector allows connection to the field signals using an external screw termination block.

Some typical wiring diagrams are shown below. Ensure that connections are made to the appropriate termination number for each input or output type, and that the configuration is set correctly for the board number and analog input type (see Multi-I/OSoftwareAccess720903).

Multi-I/O Software Access

To read the analog or digital inputs and write to the analog outputs, use either ACE-defined POD logic ("PC-104 MULTI-IO-se" function) or an ISaGRAF program (include the "AIMMLTIO" board). In either case, the board parameters should include the Board Address (see MULTI-I/OBoard 720903), and the data should be made available in appropriate RTDB addresses.

Relay8/IN8 Software Access

...

The following screen captures are an example of the I/O connection in ISaGRAF when using the Relay8/IN8 board. Digital input and output values are stored in the ISaGRAF RTU and must be polled into an RTDB using the Internal Channel configuration, so that data can be made available to other systems.
