Introduction
The ELPRO 415U-IAS provides a way to operate two radio telemetry systems side by side using
existing infrastructure. The primary use-case is when an existing system is being incrementally
upgraded to ELPRO 415U radio hardware. The 415U-IAS automatically switches the base station
antenna between a legacy base station radio and the upgraded base station radio as needed to
communicate with a mix of legacy and upgraded radios in the field.
The 415U-IAS switch module is used in conjunction with an ELPRO 415U-BSR (Base Station and
Repeater) which monitors the polling requests sent to the remote field stations and instructs the
switch module to connect the required base station radio (Legacy or 415U-BSR) to the antenna.
Responses from field stations are monitored, and the switch will alternate between the two systems
when it doesn't see a valid response from a field site. This allows incremental upgrades of field sites
without a need to make configuration changes when field sites are switched from the legacy system to
the new 415U system.

Page 2: System Design
Page 2 of 9 November 2021 System Design The 415U-IAS is designed to be installed with an existing legacy system. The 415U-BSR monitors MODBUS messages sent from a central SCADA computer and monitors MODBUS responses from field sites. The system can use either RS-232 serial communications or it can communicate over TCP-IP link. -

Page 4 of 9 November 2021 SCADA Computer RS-232 Serial connection When the connection to the SCADA computer is via RS-232 serial, the SCADA computer connection is through the 415U-IAS and via the RS-485 connection on the 415U-BSR. Configure the 415U-BSR RS-485 serial port to match the SCADA computer serial connection. -
