Zlinx™ Wireless Modbus I/O - flexible enough to fit your applications. These plug-n-play units combine traditional Modbus RTU remote analog and discrete I/O with built-in wireless connectivity. Wireless RTU serves as Modbus slave RTU in radio-based SCADA systems, or as a peer-to-peer communication platform.
Two Ranges Available - Short, Long range.
Active Repeaters - With built-in repeater functionality on 900 MHz -LR models, you can ensure vital signals get through.
Modular - Just snap on your I/O and you are ready to communicate.
Wide Temperature - Meets most indoor or outdoor applications.
Rugged circuitry - prevents signal degradation. 128 / 256 Bit AES Encryption - Secures data.
Selectable RF Transmit Power - Allows you to optimize the transmitter power for your application.
Selectable Over-the-air Data Rate - Allows you to decrease the OTA Data Rate (on -LR and -LR-AU versions), effectively increasing the radio transmitter’s range.
Exception Reporting - In Modbus mode, allows the reporting of possible problems with connected devices.
Fail Safe - Allows you to set I/O to a safe state in the event of a communications failure.
Calibration - Calculates correction factors to make I/O values better match your sensor.
Communications Failure Alarm - Allows the first DO to be configured as a COM failure alarm indicator.
Invert Output - You can invert the logic of all DO’s in peer-to-peer mode.
Monitor - Use the Zlinx™ Manager Software to monitor your I/O.
- Improved Latency - Very low I/O latency allows real time control and monitoring.
- Exception Reporting - In Modbus mode, allows the reporting of possible problems with connected devices.
- Fail Safe - Allows you to set your I/O to a safe state in the event of a communication failure.
- Calibration - Calculates correction factors to make I/O values more accurate or to better match a sensor.
- Communications Failure Alarm - Allows the first DO to be configured as a COM failure alarm indicator.
- Peer-to-Peer I/O Configuration - One to one I/O mapping of 2 identical systems. Allows remote control of analog and digital I/Os.
- Inverter Outputs - Allows flexibility in the logic to control output devices.
- Monitor - You can use the Zlinx Manager Software to monitor your I/O.Add Wireless I/O to Any Modbus System
MODBUS APPLICTION (PEER TO MULTI-PEER)
Seamlessly add wireless I/O to any Modbus application. Modbus is the most widely supported I/O protocol worldwide for PLC's to HMI's and PC based software applications. With Zlinx Wireless I/O you can now bring wireless remote I/O into any Modbus system. Simply connect a Zlinx modem to an RS-232 or RS-485 port of the Modbus master and it can now poll up to 150 wireless I/O nodes - each node can be configured for 8 to 48 I/O points.
POINT TO POINT APPLICATIONS
B&B Electronics' cellular modem and wireless I/O products replicate analog or digital signals from a remote location wirelessly. Use a pair of Zlinx Wireless I/O modules to read sensor inputs or control actuators in hard-to-reach locations. Inputs and outputs of the paired Zlinx units will mirror-image each other, making it easy to add wireless I/O to any application.
