About
R-net is a multi-module electronic system designed
specifically to control the speed, direction and many other
functions on medium to high specification powered
wheelchairs. Although R-net is highly flexible and
expandable with connection of up to 15 modules being
possible, it is extremely simple to install and use. A key
feature is the ability of the system to provide simple, 2
module solutions at a competitive price, while also being
easily expandable to address much more complex Rehab
type requirements.
The basis of R-net’s unique combination of flexibility and
simplicity is the R-net communications protocol. This is a
custom software communications protocol developed by
PG Drives Technology specifically for powered wheelchair
applications. The underlying hardware link utilizes the well
established
The R-net protocol takes into account many issues that
affect wheelchair dealers and therapists, such as: ease of
installation, servicing, programming and up-grading
wheelchairs to account for progressive conditions.
Throughout the whole development program of R-net, the
philosophy is one of ”Connect & Go”, i.e. modules can just
be connected and will function without the need for
complex programming. No other currently available
powered wheelchair system is as flexible, intelligent or as
easy to set-up as R-net. In a similar vein, R-net was
designed to be able to accommodate further expansion.
The protocol allows new modules to be added to existing
systems and to automatically teach the system about their
capabilities and programming requirements, without the
user having to do any programming. R-net is therefore
“Future-proof”
