2 Radio Drive Serial Interface (RDSI) Now Available At Magnetek, our intelligent engineering applies innovations developed through research and development to create solutions that improve your performance. Magnetek s Radio Drive Serial Interface (RDSI) enables two-way communication between the crane and drive, allowing RDSI to command the drive and pass drive status back to the radio. Utilizing the RDSI technology the Flex M reciever when combined with an XLTX or MLTX2 transmitter allows you to monitor your performance parameters right on the transmitter s display unit, putting important drive status information at your fingertips. SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY RDSI communicates between the radio receiver and the drive using a RS-485 serial interface. Using a Flex M receiver you can control up to two drives per serial communication card. If you want to control an additional drive pair, simply add an additional serial communication card to the Flex M receiver. CONVENIENT RDSI is compatible with the Magnetek Flex M wireless receiver, allowing you to communicate via a serial interface directly with your Magnetek IMPULSE G+ and VG+ Series 4, Series 3 and G+ Mini Adjustable Frequency Crane Controls. Conveniently, the RDSI s modular design provides plug and play compatibility with the Flex M receiver, making your components more versatile. Use the same receiver component for every size of application no switching necessary. LESS DOWNTIME/MAINTENANCE Instead of climbing up on the crane, access diagnostic and troubleshooting information from the ground. RDSI displays feedback parameters directly from the drive, including Drive Status, Output Frequency, Output Voltage, Output Current, Output Power, Torque Reference and Load Weight. Drive faults and alarms are displayed too. Manage your material handling capabilities and know your load capacity at all times. SAVE MONEY RDSI eliminates the need for drive contactors by automatically detecting drive types. RDSI also helps you save by eliminating relay cards, excessive wiring and labor costs. You can communicate with all of your drives through the use of only 4 wires, saving money and reducing clutter inside your machine. The versatile RDSI will improve your safety and functionality, while reducing installation, downtime and maintenance costs.
