Remote Operation with Signal Extender
You can install the Operator Display Station up to 400 ft (122 m) away 
from any standard PC computer. 
You can install the 6188 on the factory floor where the environment is 
harsh and space is at a premium, and then connect the Operator Display 
Station to the signal transmitter located on the other side of the plant. 
Simply connect the signal transmitter to the host PC. 
You can connect to the host computer using your own low-cost, twisted-
pair Cat-5 cable. The video, keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen host 
signals are multiplexed across the Cat-5 cable by the transmitter, located 
at the computer and the transmitter in the Operator Display Station. 
You can even connect an additional monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the 
transmitter for backup, troubleshooting, setup and local control. All 
power for the signal extender transmitter is supplied by the Operator 
Display Station.
