Windows compatible receivers from Datek

Feb. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Swedish radio remote control manufacturer Datek has developed a Windows interface for its complete line of receivers. This makes it possible for customers to combine Profibus, CANopen or relay outputs with a PC interface in the same wireless system. For some special applications where there is no need for other communication, the PC interface can be used as standalone.

Crane functions and other safety-critical control functions must not be controlled over the PC interface since Windows doesn’t fulfill valid safety standards. However, the PC interface can be used to enter data into customer specific OEM software programs. Examples of such data can be weights, logistics information, work report numbers etc. The interface can also be used in educational purposes, controlling crane simulators from a professional transmitter instead of gaming joysticks.  

The customer sets up the interface through a Windows DLL-file (Dynamic Link Library) provided by Datek. This offers great flexibility for the customers to setup the system as they wish. The installation is not just plug & play and requires Windows programming knowledge from the customer.
