Wireless Andon Light Transmitter - RC-PLC

PLC Control for Wireless Andon

The RC-PLC  Wireless Light Transmitter is the perfect way to quickly and easily integrate a stack light into a PLC system. By connecting directly to the PLC, this product ensures secure wireless transmission. 

This Wireless module can be used to control any of the wireless status lights made by Stack-Light.com. The RC-PLC can control 5 color lights as well as a buzzer. These are often used on existing machinery that needs a light located remotely from the machine. For instance, you could have a CNC machine with a stack light on the machine and another light located in a maintenance or manager's office. If the Andon light on the CNC machine goes on, the light in the other room would turn on. 

The normal range for wireless products is 100-125 feet. This range can be affected by walls and other obstacles. To extend the range Stack-Light.com uses a Mesh system. This means that the messaging can be passed between devices to extend the range. All of the Stack-Light Wireless products can act as a repeater except for the Battery Powered Andon controller.  The Mesh system not only extends the range, but also makes the Wireless Andon System more robust. 

The Mesh Network works independently of a facility's Wi-fi. This makes it easy to install this system without the need to involve the IT department.  We will work with you to design a system that is perfect for your application. The Wireless system will be programmed for you at our facility so that it is plug-and-play out of the box. The system can be reprogrammed in the future if you were to need to make changes and we are here to provide support if needed.

The RC-PLC system can control Multiple Wireless stack lights. For instance, you could have a system with a stack light placed on both sides of a building with a Wireless Andon PLC located in the center of the building. The inputs on the RC-PLC could be activated to turn on both Stack Lights at the same time. 

The wireless Stack Lights come in 1 to 5 levels. The colors can be Red, Green, Amber, White, and Blue. All Wireless Stack Lights have an audible alarm built in. The lights order can be switched as needed. The Wireless Stack-Lights can also be ordered with buttons on the front so they can control other lights in the Mesh Network. There are many options when building a Wireless System. The lights can be set up in a variety of ways and we are here to help you with your selection.

Stack-Light.com is committed to delivering new and exciting products to our customers.  These Wireless Transmitters have been used for devices other than lights. If you have a unique application this may be the perfect solution. We have had customers request a way to control their Andons wirelessly through a PLC or dry contact switches. The RC-PLC unit is our answer to that request.
