Forefront of the mining industry for 30 years

Austdac has been at the forefront of this industry for 30 years now, supplying conveyor control systems.

World leading Fieldbus

World leading Fieldbus

With a continued commitment to research and development Austdac is proud to announce its latest family of Fieldbus products.

New family features

New family features

Family has features such as ease of installation, improved ease of customer configuration, diagnostic capability and functional safety IEC61508 certification by TÜV.

Design and innovation

Design and innovation

The advance features of this system have led to three patents being awarded to the world leading design and innovative features.

HubBus products

Data transmission and power on a single pair of wires has been developed to allow safe, reliable monitoring and control of systems:

In excess of 16km in length

Over 320 line powered devices

Up to 2048 addressable channels

Patented communication technology for operation in electrically noisy industrial environments

Maintenance and repair are made easier

Reduced possibility of wiring faults with the use of pluggable connectors which are available with screw or spring cage terminals and horizontal or vertical wire entry.

Easy to read LEDs

A common layout across the whole product module range with readable LEDs which show communication, power and line status at a quick glance in addition to a quick open flip top lid to access the configuration port.

Advanced metrics

Advanced metrics available with additional monitoring software include long term fault analysis and device response time for system mapping.

Configurable bandwidth

With the increased network length and increase in the number of devices, there is an increase in the devices response times. To overcome this, the system supports configurable bandwidth with auto sensing by line devices and a patented exception handling protocol for improved response times.

Local use with other modules

A DIN rail communication bus may be used locally with other modules. The DIN rail bus carries power, HubBus signal line and Modbus data. Configuration is also simplified as all modules use the same easy-to-use handheld programmer and tester.
