What is DuplineŽ?______________________________________________________________________________
What is DuplineŽ ? DuplineŽ is a
field- and installation-bus that offers unique solutions for
a wide range of applications in building automation, water distribution,
energy management, railway systems and many other areas. The
system is capable of transmitting multiple digital and analog
signals over several km, via an ordinary 2-wire cable. And its
modular design and simple operating principle enable even novices
to implement its use in new or existing applications. Solutions
are engineered by combining products from the wide range of
DuplineŽ modules, including digital and analog I/O modules,
PLC and PC interfaces, HMIs and Modems. All modules in an installation
connect to the same 2-wire cable which is used to exchange data
between modules and between a central controller and modules.
DuplineŠ is typically used as a remote I/O system, creating
a link between field devices, such as sensors, contactors, valves,
pushbuttons etc. and a central Monitoring Controller, which
may be a PLC, PC or the DuplineŽ Controller. But DuplineŽ can
also be used as a simple wire replacement system where signals
are transmitted peer-to-peer without involving a controller
or other intelligent unit. The DuplineŽ signals can be transmitted
not only on copper wire, but also on fiber optic cable, via
radio modem, on leased telephone lines or via GSM Modem. DuplineŽ
has proven its performance in more than 100.000 installations
worldwide since 1986. And even though the latest ASIC technology
is used today, the new DuplineŽ modules are still compatible
with those installed 17 years ago.
