Phoenix Contact Trusted Wireless Ethernet Radio with Bus Connection


Phoenix Contact is pleased to announce the addition of the RAD-ISM-900-EN-BUS to the wireless product family. The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BUS offers a bus connection, which allows I/O modules to be connected directly to the radio. This provides the flexibility to collect I/O without the need for a remotely located PLC.
 
As in the WLAN-BUS and Trusted Wireless Serial radios, the bused I/O is mapped to MODBUS registers, offering easy integration to any MODBUS network. This offers an ideal solution for SCADA systems, as remote I/O can now be collected and reported wirelessly using a single radio device.
 
Features:
  • MOTR-9 technology offers superior radio performance at various data rates
  • Enhanced security with 128/192/256-bit AES encryption
  • Adjustable over-the-air data rates up to 500 kbps
  • Master/slave/repeater-slave operation modes
  • Store-and-forward repeater capability
  • Ethernet, RS-232, RS-422/485 connectivity ideal for new and legacy systems
  • -40 to 65 degrees Celsius operating temperature
  • Busable I/O mapped to remotely accessible MODBUS RTU/TCP registers
