MultiRanger Communications

MultiRanger Communication Systems

The MultiRanger is an integrated level controller capable of communicating process information to a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, via a serial device such as a radio modem, leased line, or dial-up modem.

MultiRanger

Connection via radio modem, dial-up modem, or leased line modem

The standard MultiRanger supports the following two communication protocols:

Modbus

Modbus is an industry standard protocol used by SCADA and HMI systems. The MultiRanger uses Modbus to communicate via the RS-485 port. For a description of the Modbus protocol, contact your local Schneider representative.

Dolphin

Dolphin is a proprietary Siemens Milltronics protocol designed to be used with Dolphin Plus. For more information on Dolphin Plus or to obtain a copy of the software, please go to www.siemens.com/processautomation to contact your Siemens Milltronics representative.

Optional SmartLinx®Cards

The standard MultiRanger unit may also be enhanced with Siemens Milltronics SmartLinx® communication modules that provide an interface to popular industrial communication systems.

This manual only describes the built-in communications. For more information on SmartLinx, please consult the appropriate SmartLinx manual.
