RHUB200-5

Description

1. Product Description

• Hub Functionality: Connects multiple devices to a shared network segment, broadcasting data to all ports.
• Repeater Functionality: Amplifies and retransmits signals to extend network coverage, particularly in long-distance or noisy environments.
• I/O Integration: Some variants may include configurable digital/analog I/O channels for sensor/actuator integration, though this depends on the specific model.

2. Technical Parameters

3. Application Areas

• Marine Automation: Connecting distributed I/O modules, sensors, and actuators in vessel control systems (e.g., K-Chief 700).
• Industrial Networking: Extending Ethernet/serial networks in factories, power plants, or oil/gas facilities.
• Process Monitoring: Integrating with remote I/O units (RIO) for real-time data acquisition.

4. Key Features & Advantages

• Dual Functionality: Combines hub and repeater roles for versatile network management.
• Redundancy: Supports dual communication paths for fault tolerance.
• Modular Expansion: Works with KONGSBERG’s RIO modules (e.g., RMP201-8, RCU510) for scalable systems.
• Signal Integrity: Reduces signal degradation in long-distance or high-interference settings.

5. Supplier & Pricing

• New Units: Prices range from ¥20,000 to ¥38,500 (varies by configuration).
• Refurbished Units: Available at 30–50% of new costs from suppliers like
• Authorized Dealers: KONGSBERG Maritime, Shanxi Xinyeda International Trade, and global distributors.

6. Notes & Precautions

• Model Variability: Some sources describe RHUB200-5 as a pure communication hub, while others mention I/O integration. Verify specifications with suppliers.
• Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with KONGSBERG’s automation platforms (e.g., K-Chief, K-Safe).
• Installation: Mount in IP67-rated enclosures for outdoor or wet environments.
