Multi-hop data radios with 3km reach extend data transmission to over 20km
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. It allows extension of the widely used Modbus communication protocol to many applications where wiring is impractical because of distance or accessibility. It can also be connected with digital, analog or temperature signals using other Banner wireless products.
The large wireless networks enabled by the new radio provide previously unavailable information to users in a wide range of industries. In Irrigation, soil moisture can be measured, zone valves can be operated and flow rate measured. In automated parking applications, literally thousands of parking spots city-wide can be monitored.
More traditional applications include tank level, pressure, flow and temperature monitoring in a variety of markets. Clusters can be combined and connected to create systems with 2,400 wireless points, covering over 100 square kilometers. For even larger systems, multiple wireless networks can co-exist in the same physical area without interference.
The radios are configured for rapid, easy connection to all remote and central control elements in a network. They can be powered by 10-30 VDC, battery or solar power supply, allowing wireless repeaters to be placed where no power is available.
