Base Stations & Repeater Modules
Base stations are required for configuration of the T24 modules using the T24 Toolkit software. They are also used
to supply data to PCs and PLCs.
Repeaters allow the effective radio range to be increased, allow better coverage and to avoid obstacles.

Overview

Base stations are the interface between the T24 radio system and a PC, PLC or other controller.
A base station would be required to configure T24 modules from a PC using the T24 Toolkit software and also
required if you are to capture data from T24 modules to a PC or PLC.

T24-BSu

Base station with USB connection in non-weatherproof
enclosure. Ideal for indoor applications and for
configuration.

T24-BSi

Base station mounted in large weatherproof enclosure.
This variant has RS232, RS485 connections along with
USB. This variant is ideal for permanent outdoor
installations.

Addressing

Usually only a single base station is required in a telemetry installation. If a telemetry module is outside the range
of the base station a repeater may be deployed.
Some complex topologies may only be realised by using multiple base stations which may require changes to the
Address switches. (Contact Mantracourt Electronics for advice regarding multiple base stations residing on a
single serial bus)
The industrial base station (T24-BSi) has interfaces for USB, RS232 and RS485 and is addressable. The USB only
base stations (T24-BSu, T24-BSue & T24-BSd) have a fixed address of 1 so only one can be connected to a PC at a
time.
