Zlinx modems provide wide area system coverage for transmission of critical data to remote sites.

April 27, 2007 - Zlinx Modbus industrial grade radio modems provide wide area system coverage to ensure reliable, secure, and cost effective transmission of critical data to remote sites. Zlinx will transmit serial signal transparently up to 64 km. Features include an easily accessible terminal block, along with indicator lights to indicate signal strength and signal failure, all in one DIN rail mount industrial case. Zlinx solutions operate within the ISM and 2.4 GHz frequencies.

Coupled with extraordinary receiver sensitivity, this radio modem can full-duplex over long distances and through the most difficult environments. Special filtering technology blocks cell phone, pager and other wireless interference. The modem can operate from 9600 bps to 115.2kbps and transfers RS-232/422/485 serial signals.

Its over-the-air data rate is 115kbps.Each transceiver carries CE approvals and is RoHS compliant. The modems provide 256-bit AES encryption – the highest encryption standard available – for maximum security for sensitive data. Versatile Power from 10 to 48 VDC or 18 to 30 VAC. The terminal block allows plug-and-play connection to RS-232/485.

Other beneficial features to aid in troubleshooting include a Signal Strength Indicator and a Wireless Failure Output Indicator.The compact heavy duty DIN mount industrial grade case & components with a ½ wave dipole whip antenna saves panel or cabinet space. Rugged circuitry and wide temperature range (-40 degree to 85 degree C) can handle both indoor and outside applications. This protection is especially attractive for applications such as SCADA, electronic signs, and fleet management that constantly deal with electronic devices operating in fluctuating outdoor climates.
