Why a Network system?

Simply to make work a little easier and, of course, to save costs and unnecessary work time. So why not install a system which takes the strain off the user via its great flexibility, leaving more time for creative work?   

The ChainMaster network system is the ideal solution when intelligent stations are to be decentralized. Short power and control cables, simple plug-in installation system combinations are the merits which make our network such an interesting option.   

Up to 900 drives can be easily controlled, and a maximum flexibility is achieved with a minimum of effort by means of combined configurations. Full control over chain hoists, winches, curtains, trolleys, etc. is possible with the network system. 10 MBaud ensures extremely fast data transfer. Software and hardware furthermore allow patching of all outputs. RG 58 or twisted-pair cables are available as options.
