Mini TC200 Easy
Current requirements
for industrial radio remote control are very diverse. It's important
that users are provided with standard as well as customized products
that fit their application. The TC 200 radio control family of
Cattron-Theimeg features a modular design. This module system
enables all available components to be combined to form customized
solutions.
TC
200 transmitter 
The transmitter housings
of the TC 200 Mini and TC 200 Easy differ only in terms of the
available user interface. Both transmitters are able to send digital
as well as proportional commands. The robust transmitters feature
ergonomic design and are capable of being used in a wide range
of applications. Dual micro processor technology ensures high
signal transmission integrity. Diverse redundancy of software
and hardware produces maximum safety for remote control operation.
Additional safety features such as tilt monitoring can also be
provided as an option.
The basic unit comes
with one two-direction and one four-direction joystick for three
two- to four-stage drives, three push buttons and a three-position
selector switch. This covers the normal range of commands for
the standard application. Analog drives can also be controlled
as an option. Depending on the particular version, the light-weight
transmitter weighs approx. 1.6 kg.
The TC 200 transmitters
are supplied with standard cushioned belt and plug-in recharger
unit. A processor-controlled recharger unit is optionally available
for longer battery life and a rapid recharging cycle. An Ergonomic
Vest Harness is available also as an option.

TC
200 receiver 
The TC 200 receiver forms
the heart of the device family. The modular design permits a variety
of configuration options. The dual micro processor technology
not only enables the received data to be checked; it also enables
feedback data of the machine to be read and processed. Status
messages can easily be evaluated externally through a text-message
read-out on the receiver housing.
The receiver features
modular design with 7 plug-in cards. A total of 4 slots are provided
for generating commands. In the event of a defect, the individual
modules can be rapidly replaced, and this considerably simplifies
service. Processing of the output relays can be set as standard
via DIP switches, and is also optionally programmable. Potential
can be switched via the internal connector strip.
Not only relay cards
but also opto-coupler cards, analog cards and field bus cards
are available for addressing programmable controllers (PCs) crane
controls, vehicle controls and machine controls.
The tandem operation
(pitch-and-catch) option enables the crane to be controlled alternately
by two or more transmitters. One transmitter assumes responsibility
for issuing commands to the crane until it relinquishes responsibility
via an active command. This enables the crane to be controlled
by other operators. This option is useful wherever heavy or long
loads have to be transported simultaneously by two cranes in tandem,
or where different operators have to transport loads over relatively
long distances.
