SWYCH FOR
MARINE & PORTS
Mount a MD1/2 microPLC at the berth — wireless Modbus data down the jetty without running cable through salt air.
THE OLD WAY
- 01.Running shielded data cable down a 500 m jetty is prohibitively expensive and corrosion-prone.
- 02.Saltwater destroys connectors and junction boxes within a few seasons.
- 03.WiFi suffers from multi-path reflections off the water surface, causing constant dropouts.
THE SWYCH WAY
- 01.Drop-in MD1/2 microPLC: Mounts at the berth or fuel dock, reads Modbus sensors locally, and bridges data wirelessly back to the office — no cable run needed.
- 02.LoRa/HaLow over water: Radio propagation actually improves over open water — ideal for long jetty and wharf installs.
- 03.Modbus I/O on-board: Read flow meters, pressure transducers, or run-time counters and relay them wirelessly.
- 04.Relay outputs: Remotely trip a pump or reset a fault from the harbour master's office.
DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
⛽
Fuel Dock Metering
Connect a Modbus flow meter at the bowser — relay dispensing data wirelessly to the office.
⚡
Shore Power Monitoring
Read kWh meters via Modbus and bridge readings back for billing without cabling each pedestal.
💩
Pump-Out Run Hours
Wire a run-time relay to a digital input to track sewage pump usage for maintenance.
🔐
Gate & Boom Control
Wire a gate motor contactor to the MD1/2 microPLC relay for remote jetty access control.
