- MODEL 195C/M OVERVIEW
- The ESTeem Model 195C and 195M are wireless modem transceivers that can be used to build many types of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). The ESTeem 195C/M series have multiple serial (RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485), Ethernet and 4/20mA sensor interfaces. The Model 195C and 195M can be configured for multiple modes of operation depending upon the needs of the wireless and wired network. The following interface configurations are provided as an overview of the basic network types, as all possible network configurations can not be listed. For further help in selecting the correct network type, please refer to Chapter 3 of this User’s Manual or call Customer Support at 509-735-9092.

connection without any handshaking. The second RS-232 port (Port 3) has full hardware handshaking through the request to send
(RTS) and clear to send (CTS) lines. Both ports are software configurable from 2,400 to 115,000 bps.
RS-422
– The ESTeem 195C and 195M have a single RS-422 data port (Port 2). The RS-422 data port is shared on the front
panel with the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface. The RS-422 interface is good for long distances to 4,000 feet at bauds rate
software configurable from 2,400 to 115,000 bps.
RS-485
– The ESTeems have a single, two-wire RS-485 data port (Port 1). The RS-485 data port is shared on the front panel with
the 4/20mA sensors. The RS-485 interface is good for long distances to 4,000 feet at baud rates software configurable from 2,400
to 115,000 bps.
ETHERNET APPLICATIONS
The ESTeem 195C and 195M have a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface (Port 2) that is used as both a data port and the primary
programming port. When the Ethernet port is used as a data port there are two modes of operation. The primary use will be as a
slow speed (9,600 bps) Ethernet bridge to remote locations to gather data from remote Ethernet devices. The secondary mode of
operation is to configure the Ethernet port as a TCP or UDP Socket and write custom software applications to access the data port.
Each of these modes of operation are described in detail in Chapter 5.
SENSOR APPLICATIONS
The ESTeem 195C and 195M have four (4) independent configurable 4/20mA sensor inputs. The sensor inputs can be read from
the 195C/M though either their ModbusTCP address or through a serial software command. These values can be read either
locally our through the wireless network.
LEGACY - MODEL 192 APPLICATIONS
The ESTeem 195C can be integrated with our legacy ESTeem Model 192C or Model 192CHP, while the 195M can be integrated
with Models 192M or 192MHP networks. There is a specific procedure to follow when integrating the new 195C or 195M in an
existing network that can be found in Appendix C of this User’s Manual.
