PSC has your
multiple applications in mind
The Falcon 510
and 515 are the latest members of the reliable, feature
rich
Falcon line of industrial data collection equipment
from PSC. This new rugged fixed station terminal was
designed with flexibility in mind; supporting open
systems architecture, an extensive set of host
connectivity options and interface capabilities for a
wide array of data input devices. These rich features
combined with an attractive price enable the Falcon
510/515 to operate in a wide variety of stand-alone and
enterprise-wide data collection and system control
applications.
The Falcon
510/515 has a powerful 486 class processor, running at
33MHz, and operates under DOS 6.22. The Falcon comes
standard with 8Mb of RAM, 2Mb of Flash ROM, two internal
PCMCIA Type II slots, a 15 line x 40 character mono or
color display and full 69 key QWERTY keypad. Because the
Falcon 510/515 uses a standard operating system, you can
run applications previously developed for portable
Falcon terminals or other DOS computers. You can also
use popular PC development tools
like PSC’s
Universal Program Generator to create custom
applications for your data collection and system control
needs.
Innovative
Host Connectivity
The Falcon
510/515 supports an extensive set of host connectivity
solutions. The 510 can be configured as a stand-alone
batch terminal with modem for remote applications or as
a device on your existing Ethernet LAN. When configured
as a device on your Ethernet LAN you get the benefits of
real-time data sharing and storage at the central
server, along with convenient features like
multi-location upgrading of your application and
configuration changes without removing a single unit
from its physical location.
The Falcon 515
sets the standard for flexibility allowing both wired
network and RF connectivity to your host. The RF
wireless network capability provides the connectivity
for data collection applications where physical
limitations prohibit hardwiring and realtime information
is critical. The Falcon 515 can be configured with any
of the leading wireless 2.4GHz spread spectrum radio
options which include Cisco/Aironet, Lucent (Agere)
Orinoco, Proxim and Symbol.
Additional
flexibility comes when you use the Falcon 515 as
terminals on existing legacy systems. With our PowerNet
software these new Falcon terminals can support
VT100,
VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 terminal
emulations, with the ability to operate in both sever
and server-less environments.
A Multitude of
Data Input Options
The
Falcon 510 and 515 were specially designed to support
your various data input needs, along with the standard
QWERTY keypad, the system can be configured with an
integrated reader for magnetic stripe or bar code swipe
cards for labor tracking or security applications.
Additionally the Falcon 510 and 515 can receive input
from bar code wands, undecoded laser scanners, and
imaging scanners while controlling standard RS-232
devices such as line printers, bar code label printers
and scales. Finally, the Falcon 510 and 515 can be
configured with 16 User programmable I/O ports, 8
optically isolated digital inputs and 8 relay protected
digital outputs. This unique feature enables these new
fixed station terminals to be used for custom process
and control applications. |
