The Importance of Black Channel Communication in Radio Remote Control
Radio remote controls are an integral part of modern manufacturing plants and operations. They allow operators to manage machinery and equipment from a safe distance while reducing the need for direct human interaction with potentially hazardous machines. Radio remote controls also enable precise equipment control, leading to improved efficiency and less risk of operator error. With additional protection like Black Channel Communication, radio remote controls become even more secure and reliable.
Overview of Black Channel Communications
Black Channel Communication is a communication technology used to ensure the reliability of transmitted signals within control systems, particularly in manufacturing plants. This communication strategy involves the use of a functional safety protocol that operates on a separate, dedicated channel (the “black channel”) to verify the integrity of transmitted signals.
How Black Channel Communications Works
Black Channel Communication revolutionizes how signals are transmitted in control systems by utilizing a dedicated, functional safety protocol that operates independently of noncritical communication channels. This safety protocol inspects the integrity of signals sent across the ‘black channel’. Functioning independently ensures that even if the noncritical channel is compromised or experiences interference, the safety protocol remains unscathed, thus providing a failsafe mechanism.
How the Black Channel Enhances Safety
Another aspect of Black Channel Communication is the safety mechanisms to verify outgoing and incoming data sequencing. The sequencing mechanisms ensure that the correct data is processed in a very particular order. This technology is especially beneficial in high-stakes environments like manufacturing plants, where the slightest error or interruption can have far-reaching consequences. Its application is vital in systems where safety is paramount, as it can detect and react to any interference or corruption of the data.
Implementing Black Channel Communication can improve safety and efficiency metrics, especially in large manufacturing plants. For example, consider a plant experiencing occasional signal interference within its control systems, leading to sporadic operational glitches and potential safety hazards. With Black Channel Communication integrated into its radio remote control systems, the functional safety protocol can monitor the integrity of critical data, immediately detecting errors and taking necessary, safe approaches to correcting the problem. As a result, the instances of operational glitches will drop, thereby enhancing overall safety. Additionally, the newfound reliability of the plant’s control systems improves production efficiency by minimizing downtime.

The importance of reliable monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry
One of the biggest challenges in industries that require temperature and humidity control is ensuring the proper storage of raw materials and products while complying with all regulations. To achieve this, monitoring must be accurate, reliable, and continuous.
The first major challenge is measurement accuracy. Inaccurate sensors can compromise product quality. Additionally, sensors must be properly calibrated and certified, ensuring that records remain within the required standards and comply with current regulations such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
Another critical aspect is continuous monitoring. Relying on manual records or fragile systems can lead to reporting failures and even product loss due to unreliable data, resulting in significant financial losses.
Beyond technical and regulatory challenges, there is also an economic factor. Replacing existing systems can be difficult, so the ideal solution must be flexible, integrating seamlessly with current systems without complications or additional costs.
NOVUS developed the Climate Air+ solution to overcome these challenges, combining two innovative devices: RHT Air+ and AirGate Air+.
The RHT Air+ is a temperature and humidity sensor that automatically collects, records, and stores data in its memory. It then sends this information directly to the AirGate Air+, which also records and reads the data and transmits it online to a cloud or SCADA platform.
The devices communicate via radio, ensuring a stable connection even in environments with physical barriers, with a range of up to 3 km. This means that product movement does not interfere with data transmission.
With a storage capacity of up to 50 days and a 5-minute publishing interval, both devices ensure that even in extreme situations, such as power failures, data remains secure.
The RHT Air+ operates on a non-rechargeable internal battery, which can last up to two years depending on the publishing interval, or it can be powered via a USB-C port with a 5V DC power supply.
Meanwhile, the AirGate Air+ is powered by an external power source of 8 to 30V DC. Each AirGate Air+ receives information from up to 32 RHT Air+ devices, forming islands of continuous, precise, and secure monitoring.

There are many countries where there is no snow to ski on, or simply because there are no mountains. Winter sport enthusiasts who want to gain some experience before going to the slopes in the mountains can do this at a local indoor ski center.
Learn how to ski or snowboard step by step
SkiMachine from the Netherlands, supplier of indoor ski slopes, delivers machines which can be adjusted to the desired height with a conveyor belt covered with so-called ski grass. The conveyor belt is positioned at an angle and moves upwards to the top of the slope; this simulates the sliding speed on the slopes. A sprayer installation keeps the slope moist to give an optimum sliding experience.
Depending on the pupil skier’s competency, a practice bar can be mounted, and they can see themselves moving through a big two-way mirror. The indoor ski slopes are used to give skiing and snowboarding lessons.
Safety first
When a pupil touches a drawstring, the conveyor stops immediately. This prevents him or her from being pushed against the wall after a fall. A drawstring is fastened at the top and on both sides of the slope. In addition, there is a sensor on the top side of the slope that immediately stops the conveyor as soon as this type of movement is detected. The remote control provided by Tyro can manage the speed and also function as an extra stop.
Possible places where the teacher can stand
The Pyxis Auriga for operating a ski slope
The teacher has complete control with the Pyxis wireless control which has four function keys. In addition to increasing and reducing the speed, the machine can also be switched on or off, as is normally done. If a student loses balance, he or she can immediately press the quick stop button; the remote control and the receiver have a reaction time of less than 0.1 of a second. The Auriga receiver is connected to the control box.
A Tyro remote control is also delivered as a standard part of the ski slopes. Besides your own icons the remote control is also provided with your logo.
