The Keytroller II (key version), Slimtroller II (token version), and Unitroller II (key or token) are combination reader/writer/receptacles with RS-232, RS-485, or USB interfaces. These panel-mount devices are designed to work in PLC- or PC-controlled applications. They are compatible with all of Datakey Electronics’s serial memory keys and tokens.

This series of peripheral controllers allows system designers to easily integrate capabilities such as access control/user authentication and data transfer or storage. They work in rugged environments where it would not be convenient to have a hard-wired connection such as LAN or twisted pair. For instance, in an injection-molding environment, mold-specific machine configurations can be stored on a memory token and kept with each mold. Insert the token into the Slimtroller II, and the peripheral uploads all the set-up information to the molding machine’s PLC so it can run that particular part. This decreases set-up time and reduces human error associated with data entry. The token is extremely resistant to all of the hazards that would be encountered in a molding operation (e.g., chemicals, dropping, and static discharge). For applications with limited space available behind the control panel, the Unitroller II supports remotely connecting a panel-mount Keyceptacle or Receptacle via a ribbon cable.

The Keytroller II, Slimtroller II, and Unitroller II come prepackaged with communication cable, software, and a manual with mounting instructions. An optional stainless steel faceplate is also available to simplify mounting the units into panels.

The Unitroller II costs approximately $128. The Slimtroller II is approximately $135, and the Keytroller is approximately $145.
