ARS-USB_PST

160,00€ – 185,00€ VAT not included

This is a special version based on the ARS-USB that was re-designed to be used as a rotor controller or replacement by Prosistel rotators or any rotor that use multi-turn potentiometer. It includes the same features as the standard ARS-USB but new extras as:

  • Simple and easy calibration at any rotor position in few steps.
  • Soft start and stop via a PWM. It allows to have a soft starting/stopping ramp.
  • It detects if the potentiometer is out of range and will prevent any accidental problem with the antenna coax. Any problem with the potentiometer or cables are detected inmediately
  • If the motor is jammed by any reason, an alarm will be displayed and the appointment will stop. The user will be noticed.

All those watch-dog systems (and some more included) will prevent to generate a problem if the potentiometer is damaged by any cause (any wire broken, moisture, a wrong cable connection, etc).

Description

The ARS-USB_PST is a special version based on the ARS-USB with a new PCB that can be used as a replacement or controller for any rotor that uses Multi-Turn potentiometer as Prosistel rotors.

In fact, it includes the same 5 pins connector used by Prosistel and the same pin assignment so it’s a Plug & Play replacement.

The ARS-USB_PST  can be connected to the computer via USB and it’s detected as a serial port, so any program will be able to control it via this serial port. Moreover it emulates a Yaesu GS232A interface; this fact has the advantage that any program that supports a GS232A will support directly the ARS-USB_PST.

A program to guide during the setup and calibration is included: ARSVCOM (ARSconf).The calibration of a Prosistel is very simple and includes a step by step guide. Never the setup of a Prosistel has been so easy! Also it allows controlling the rotor with a graphical and friendly user interface. It’s a nice option when you want to control the antenna local or remotely via Internet.

A tool for upgrade the firmware of the ARS-USB is included: Teleloader. With this software, you will upload new releases of the ARS-USB_PST firmware.

  • ARS-USB Azimuth
    [:es]

    El ARS-USB Azimuth es el interface de motor universal más completo y con mejor rendimiento del mercado. Se conecta con el mando de motor que tengas (Yaesu, Kenpro, Daiwa, HamIV/T2X, Prosistel, etc) y te permitirá controlar el posicionamiento de tus antenas (Azimuth) desde el ordenador por medio del puerto USB.

    El ARS es un interface universal, puesto que se puede adaptar a cualquier tipo de mando de motor; el manual de usuario describe el conexionado de éste, con una larga lista de mandos soportados.

    Este modelo corresponde a la versión de Azimuth, pero hay disponible también para Azimuth & Elevación (2 motores)

    Disponemos como opción del cable para algunos modelos de motor.

    The ARS-USB Azimuth Interface is the easiest and highest performance Universal Interface for handling your Antenna Rotor. It's connected to your rotor controller (Yaesu, Kenpro, Daiwa, HAMIV/T2X, Prosistel, etc) and you will be able to point your antennas from your computer automatically.

    The ARS is a universal interface, since it can be adapted to any type of motor controller; the user manual describes the connection of this one, with a long list of supported controllers.

    This model corresponds to an Azimuth version, but it is also available for Azimuth & Elevation (2 rotators)

    We have optionally the cable for some rotator models (Yaesu and Emotator)

  • ARS-USB_YAESU
    [:es]

    Esta es una versión especial del ARS-USB que ha sido adaptada a los motores Yaesu (o motores que funcionen en corriente continua a 24Vcc) permitiendo reemplazar el mando original de Yaesu por este mando. También en la mayoría de casos, puede ser adaptado para motores en corriente alterna.

    Incluye las mismas prestaciones que el ARS-USB standard pero además:

    • Gestión del arranque/parada por PWM con lo cual se proporciona que el motor arranque y pare de forma progresiva.
    • Avisa y bloquea el giro cuando detecta que el potenciómetro está fuera del rango de operación (por ejemplo ante rotura del potenciómetro o de algún hilo).
    • Avisa y detecta si el motor queda bloqueado.
    • Supervisa que el motor gire en el sentido correcto y no en sentido contrario. Esto puede pasar cuando se conectan los cables por primera vez.

    Además permite calibrar el motor en cualquier punto de su recorrido e incluye un configurador (ARSConf) sencillo y flexible.

    Incluye fuente de 24Vcc - 90W necesaria para los motores Yaesu que funcionan en corriente continua (G800, G1000, G2800)

    This is a special version based on the ARS-USB that was re-designed to be used as a rotor controller or replacement for a Yaesu Control Unit (or similar rotators) that operates 24Vdc

    It includes the same features as the standard ARS-USB adding some extra as:

    • Simple and easy calibration at any rotor position in few steps.
    • Soft start and stop via a PWM. It allows to have a soft starting/stopping ramp.
    • It detects if the potentiometer is out of range and will prevent any accidental problem with the antenna coax. Any problem with the potentiometer or cables are detected inmediately

  • Raspberry Pi 3 B+ & remoteRotator
    [:es]

    Solución ideal para controlar uno o varios ARS-USB por medio de TCP/IP (local o remoto), por ejemplo por Internet.

    El paquete incluye todo lo necesario para la puesta en marcha de un ARS y poderlo controlar por medio del programa ARSVCOM o via Web lon el programa remoteRotator.

    La Raspberry Pi es una alternativa económica y fiable para controlar en remoto cualquiera de los controladores que fabrica EA4TX:

    • ARS-USB
    • RemoteBox
    • StackMain

     

    [:en]

    This is a great and low cost solution for a remote control of the rotors or when there are several local rotors and you wish to control any of them in a simple way. You will connect the ARS-USB to the Raspberry Pi (USB port) and then you can use the ARSVCOM (TCP/IP connecton) or via a simple browser to control the rotator via RemoteRotator.

    One Raspberry Pi can support as many ARS-USB as you need. 

    The same Raspberry Pi can be used for any device as:

    • ARS-USB
    • RemoteBox
    • StackMain
