They are available in stand-alone Ethernet (FLC810E) and PCMCIA card (FLC800C) models. FastLinc modems have a rated range of 5 miles with unobstructed line-of-sight, farther using repeaters and/or higher gain antennas. With an output power much higher than commercial IEEE 802.11b products, they provide longer outdoor range and broader indoor coverage. The FLC810E includes wireless bridge mode for linking remote plant networks, access point mode for creating wireless hotspots within industrial plants and wireless connections between PLCs, HMIs, and Ethernet I/O systems. It can be configured as a wireless bridge repeater to extend range and overcome line-of-sight (LOS) obstructions. The high power FLC800C (PCMCIA card) allows for network communications of portable computers with a robust wireless connection. FastLinc modems can coexist with Data-Linc’s popular Smart Spectrum TM frequency hopping technology, permitting both high-speed and long range wireless networks ideally suited for utility SCADA systems. The modems are easy to configure and trouble shoot with built-in diagnostics using a web-based interface. As with all Data-Linc products, support services such as pre-sale project consultation, post-sale tech support with PLC expertise and site survey planning assistance are part of the Data-Linc Group commitment. • Connect remote plant networks without monthly phone line charges • Wireless SCADA communications for pump stations, well heads, pipelines, storage tanks, etc. • Wireless Ethernet I/O to moving equipment (over head cranes, transfer cars, turntables, etc.) • Portable computer communications for mobile HMIs and maintenance stations • Wireless hotspots in industrial plants APPLICATIONS

POWER LINE CONDUCTED INTERFERENCE: The procedure used was ANSI STANDARD C63.4- 2000 using a 50 uH LISN. Both lines were observed with the UUT transmitting. The bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was 10kHz with an appropriate sweep speed. The ambient temperature of the UUT was 76°F with a humidity of 55%. BANDWIDTH 6.0 dB: The measurements were made with the spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth (RBW)=1.0 MHz and the video bandwidth (VBW) =1.0 MHz and the span set as shown on plot. POWER OUTPUT: The RF power output was measured at the antenna feed point using a peak power meter. ANTENNA CONDUCTED EMISSIONS: The RBW=100 kHz, VBW=300 kHz and the span set to 10.0MHz and the spectrum was scanned from 30 MHz to the 10 th Harmonic of the fundamental. Above 1.0 GHz the resolution bandwidth was 1.0MHz and the VBW = 3.0MHz and the span set to 50 MHz. RADIATION INTERFERENCE: The test procedure used was ANSI STANDARD C63.4-2000 using a HEWLETT PACKARD spectrum analyzer with a pre-selector. The bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum analyzer was 100 kHz up to 1 GHz and 1 MHz above 1 GHz with an appropriate sweep speed. The VBW above 1 GHz was = 3 MHz. The analyzer was calibrated in dB above a microvolt at the output of the antenna. The ambient temperature of the UUT was 53°F with a humidity of 17%.
