Multi-Hop Data Radio Allows Wireless Connection of Modbus Nodes in Up to 50 Locations

摘要

The new Multi-Hop Data Radio from Banner Engineering (Belgium] extends the reach of the company's SureCross wireless systems by repeating transmissions in 3 km 'hops' to a multi-hop total of 20 km or more. Multiple units can be placed to allow signals to pass over hills and other obstacles that would block a single wireless hop. The Multi-Hop Data Radio can be used to connect a wide variety of field devices directly, including PLC's, Controllers, HMI's, DCS's, transmitters, level, pressure and temperature sensors.
