WE HAD YOUR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS IN MIND
The Falcon® 510 and 515 are the latest members of the reliable, feature rich Falcon® line of industrial data
collection equipment from PSC. This new rugged fixed station terminal was designed with flexibility in mind;
supporting open systems architecture, an extensive set of host connectivity options and interface capabilities
for a wide array of data input devices. These rich features combined with an attractive price enable the
Falcon® 510/515 to operate in a wide variety of stand-alone and enterprise-wide data collection and system
control applications.
The Falcon® 510/515 has a powerful 486 class processor, running at 33MHz, and operates under DOS 6.22. The Falcon comes
standard with 8Mb of RAM, 2Mb of Flash ROM, two internal PCMCIA Type II slots, a 15 line x 40 character mono or color display and
full 69 key QWERTY keypad. Because the Falcon® 510/515 uses a standard operating system, you can run applications previously
developed for portable Falcon® terminals or other DOS computers. You can also use popular PC development tools like PSC's
Universal Program Generator to create custom applications for your data collection and system control needs.
INNOVATIVE HOST CONNECTIVITY
The Falcon® 510/515 supports an extensive set of host connectivity solutions. The 510 can be configured as a stand-alone batch
terminal with modem for remote applications or as a device on your existing Ethernet LAN. When configured as a device on your
Ethernet LAN you get the benefits of real-time data sharing and storage at the central server, along with convenient features like
multi-location upgrading of your application and configuration changes without removing a single unit from its physical location.
The Falcon® 515 sets the standard for flexibility allowing both wired network and RF connectivity to your host. The RF wireless
network capability provides the connectivity for data collection applications where physical limitations prohibit hardwiring and
real-time information is critical. The Falcon® 515 can be configured with any of the leading wireless 2.4GHz spread spectrum radio
options which include Cisco/Aironet, Lucent (Agere) Orinoco, Proxim and Symbol.
Additional flexibility comes when you use the Falcon® 515 as terminals on existing legacy systems. With our PowerNet software
these new Falcon® terminals can support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 terminal emulations, with the ability to
operate in both sever and server-less environments.
A MULTITUDE OF DATA INPUT OPTIONS
The Falcon® 510 and 515 were specially designed to support your various data input needs, along with the standard QWERTY
keypad, the system can be configured with an integrated reader for magnetic stripe or bar code swipe cards for labor tracking or
security applications. Additionally the Falcon® 510 and 515 can receive input from bar code wands, undecoded laser scanners, and
imaging scanners while controlling standard RS-232 devices such as line printers, bar code label printers and scales. Finally, the
Falcon® 510 and 515 can be configured with 16 User programmable I/O ports, 8 optically isolated digital inputs and 8 relay
protected digital outputs. This unique feature enables these new fixed station terminals to be used for custom process and control
applications.
