Radio networks traditionally follow the Master (main station node) and Slave (out station node) methodology for data acquisition. A single master polls for data from one or more slaves, depending on the network size. Polling is inefficient and if the master fails, the network fails.
Omniflex Teleterm M3 Series implements Responsive Wireless with the following advantages:
• All out stations report automatically only when they need to, i.e. change of state or set limits reached.
• Faster more efficient reporting and better control.
• Reduced radio noise.
• Fail over options for redundancy.
• Bi-directional signals.
• Repeating capability for longer range.
Teleterm M3 Series uses licence-free radio bands and is suitable for up to 15 km range. Connect directly to scada or DCS via Ethernet. The system is ideal for short hop radio links such as:

Industrial Wireless
Online teaser: Many radar sensors for collision avoidance are limited to detecting the distance, and thus only output one dimension, as a measured value. Turck Banner’s new MR15-Q80 radar scanner delivers genuine 3D data, and thus significantly improves the mapping of objects and spaces, giving developers and system engineers a greater degree of freedom.

At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
