Do you need to monitor remote assets via discrete analog and digital sensors? Or do you need to control remote control equipment from a central SCADA/PLC? Is the remote equipment outdoor? Zlinx Xtreme I/Os can do the job faster, easier and less expensively than stringing cable.
These compact and rugged IP67 units are ideal for outdoor applications in extreme weather conditions for connecting remote I/Os to local I/Os wirelessly (via Peer-to-Peer Mode) or to connect remote I/ Os in multiple locations to a central PLC or SCADA or HMI system via a Serial Radio Modem (Via Modbus mode).
Zlinx® Industrial Wireless products operate in license-free, Proprietary RF 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz ISM bands. Select the 900 MHz version for longer distances. For further flexibility, the output power is software selectable. The 900 MHz units offer 256 bit AES Encryption. The 2.4 GHz have 128 bit AES Encryption.
Wireless Analog and Digital I/Os
The Zlinx Xtreme I/O modules are ideal for outdoor applications that require monitoring and control of remote analog and digital devices. Two configurations are allowed:
(1) Peer-to-Peer mode - Two identical I/O modules are used for Wire Replacement applications, with analog and digital inputs at one end mapped to the corresponding outputs at the other end.
(2) Modbus I/O mode - Modbus RTU master (PLC/SCADA/HMI) controls and monitors remote Zlinx Xtreme I/O modules through serial radio modem.
