Wireless Modbus I/O

Modules flexible enough to fit your application

FeaturesBenefits
DIN Rail PackageEasy installation, conserves panel space (versus panel mount modems).
3 Ranges AvailableShort, Medium, Long range. Don’t spend more money on longer distance radios if you don’t need the distance.
Active RepeatersPlace I/O modules where they need to go, by the sensors. With repeater built-in functionality, you can build up a security path for all your critical communications.
ModularCustomize it to your application. Just snap on your I/O and you're ready to go.
10-48 VDC Power InputRugged input power circuit allows insertion to most control power configurations. Can utilize industrial power supply.
Wide Temperature-Industrial GradeMeets most indoor or outdoor applications. Rugged circuitry prevents signal degradation versus lower temperature rated wireless devices.(-40°-80° C)
Modbus CompatibleInterface using industry standard Modbus protocol. Connect to Wonderware, Labview or any other Modbus compatible software. Allows data to be directly brought into most PLC systems.

Additional Features

  • Automatic I/O mapping for wire replacement applications
  • Transmission
        FHSS - Frequency hopping spread spectrum on MR and LR
        DSSSS - Direct sequence spread spectrum on SR
  • Frequency - ISM band, 2.400 to 2.4385 GHz
  • Modulation -FSK, Frequency shift keying
  • Antenna - Reverse polarity SMA 2.1dB _ wave dipole (included)
  • Easy Installation
        LEDs for wireless links and local bus communication
        Signal strength indicators for easy placement
  • Free programming software
    V3.0.0 Software

How to Select the Right System for you:

1. Determine if Wire Replacement (Peer-to-Peer) or Modbus Application (Peer to Multi-Peer).

Peer-to-Peer Mode – Inputs automatically map to the outputs! Simplify your installation by sending your digital and analog inputs and outputs over the air. Why run a wire when you can install a Zlinx wireless module to replace it? The new Zlinx wireless product line provides point-to-point communication, replacing your wires. With bidirectional flow control, the controllers allow full-duplex transmissions to optimize the communication efficiency.

Modbus Mode – Up to 150 base modules in a system; up to 6 systems can run simultaneously by using different RF network I/O.

2. Choose a Wireless Base Module.

Based on your wireless distance and your I/O needs, select the right base for you. Note: each range will only talk to the same range (i.e. MR will only communicate with MR, etc.).

4. Choose a Radio Modem (if using Modbus System - see diagram #2 & #3 above)

Get your data signals moving faster, farther, easier and cheaper.

  • DIN rail mount saves panel space.
  • Constant signal strength feedback - during installation and troubleshooting later.
  • Rugged circuitry, wide temperature - for indoor and outside applications.
  • Handles most industrial control power configurations and power supplies.
  • Immediate integration into UL, CSA approved panels.

Use the table to make sure the radio modem is compatible with your chosen base module. More details on radio modems from B&B Electronics.
