Frequency hopping ethernet

ProSoft Technology's RadioLinx range now includes four wireless units.

They are the RLX-FHE: frequency hopping ethernet - 2.4 GHz giving simultaneous support of all ethernet 802.3 compliant protocols including: TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP/IP; RLX-FHES: frequency hopping ethernet with serial server - 2.4 GHz that connects serial and ethernet devices to one RadioLinx network, encapsulates common serial protocols in TCP/IP ethernet packets and converts Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP/IP for PLC-to-PLC messaging; RLX-FHS: frequency hopping serial - 2.4 GHz supports serial protocols including Modbus, DF1, DNP 3.0, and ASCII with data rates to 115 Kbps full duplex; RLX-IH: industrial hotspot - 2.4 GHz that has industrial grade high-speed wireless ethernet links for fixed devices and plant-wide connectivity for mobile users/devices, a transmitter with amplifier option for higher speeds at longer ranges outdoors and good coverage with fewer radios indoors and redundant master radios and self-healing network features.

The range provides a combination of features, including: dual antennas for maximum performance and networking flexibility; fast, flexible connectivity to local, remote and mobile devices; peer-to-peer communications and diagnostics; rugged industrial grade packaging and design meeting CSA and cUL Class 1, Div 2, Group A-D certifications and an industrial operating temperature.

Real-time access is provided for remote and difficult to reach or mobile equipment.

Accessories include: high power wireless PC cards for high speed at long range; automation network connectivity for handheld or notebook computers; external antennas for increased range/vehicle mount.
