ERDI-12 data interface

ERDI-12 is a data interface between digital Motorola radio stations and other devices on RS232 or RS485 bus for Motorola series DM3000 and DM4000.

It is the first data interface between MOTOTRBO DM3000 and DM4000 series and other devices such as PCs, PLCs or RTUs using RS232, RS485 bus or Ethernet. It is used for data transfers with the following protocols: Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, IEC-101, DNP3, Connection Oriented (x25 like protocol) and Connectionless oriented (broadcast). Data packet length is up to 500 bytes. Our data interface can be used as a digipeater as well and radio channels can be changed with a command.
It acts as a radio communication interface for various devices, they can use a serial data port or an Ethernet port to connect to the ERDI-12. The data sent by the connected devices is forwarded to the local radio station through a USB connection. The local radio station then transmits the data to the remote radio station. Later the data is forwarded to the ERDI-12 which by using the appropriate communication interface (serial/Ethernet) sends the data to the connected device. Data transfer is packet oriented. A 16-bit CRC value is used to detect data corruption.

You can find ERDI-12 also in   Motorola’s applications catalogue (september 2015) on page 138-139.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (CCIS) provides essential services for enterprises operating in Slovenia, and it is the ideal local partner for foreign investors. tukaj They gave us a diploma for inovation ERDI-12. About that here. And booklet.
