Abstract

A user programmable universal industrial wireless control system for remotely controlling industrial equipment. The industrial control system includes relay systems that are connected with a stopping and starting system of the industrial equipment. The industrial control system, according to the signals received from the transmitter, causes the relay systems to be either energized or de-energized as required to start and/or stop the industrial equipment. The relay systems are user programmable to be either momentary, maintained, or have timer functions.

Claims

1. A user programmable universal industrial wireless control system for remotely controlling industrial equipment comprising:

at least 1 transmitter with pushbuttons or switches that are used for both control of the industrial equipment and for the user programmability of the receiver.

at least 1 receiver with output relays that are user programmable to required modes.

2. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which the user selects a pre determined program stored as firmware in the receiver.

3. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which a magnet is embedded in the transmitter and a magnetic switch is located in the receiver. The transmitter is placed in proximity of the receiver to activate the magnetic switch which activates the user programming function.

4. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which the receiver has a pushbutton switch to activate the user programming function.

5. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which electromagnetic radiation (radio) signals are used for wireless transmissions.

6. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which optical signals are used for wireless transmissions.

7. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which acoustic signals are used for wireless transmissions.

8. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which frequency modulation is used for wireless transmissions.

9. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation is used for wireless transmissions.

10. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which pulse width modulation is used for wireless transmissions.

11. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which electric lighting systems are controlled.

12. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which electric pumps are controlled.

13. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which electric operated doors and or gates are controlled.

14. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which electric operated valves are controlled.

15. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which heating and air conditioning systems are controlled.

16. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which industrial engines are controlled.

17. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which conveyors are controlled.

18. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which transmitted word from transmitter to receiver is encrypted and uses a revolving code technology (code hopping).

19. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which emergency shutdown systems are controlled.

20. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which draw bridges are controlled.

21. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which escalators and or elevators are controlled.

22. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which industrial cranes are controlled.

23. a wireless control system as defined in claim 1 in which carnival and or amusement rides are controlled.
