ICON DPC1 - Basic Function; Special Application; Technical Parameters

BIA-DPC1 rev 4 Page 41
6.1 Basic function.
Slave Controller (SC) with communication interface can realize long distance monitoring. In the control room,
users can realize all the functions of the master control panel through the SC, except parameter calibration
and adjusting.
6.2 Special application.
As adopting communication interface, the wire communication distance is less than 1200 metres. For those
installation environments which require a longer distance communication, i.e., mine, water tower, across
railway road and bridge etc., users can adopt RS485 extender, wireless communication or GSM. Please contact
the manufacturer for more information.
6.3 Technical parameters.
The following chart shows main technical parameters of communication between the control panel and the
slave controller.
