February 6, 2014 - Phoenix Contact introduces Radioline wireless platform that offers wire replacement for simple I/O and serial communication. With a software-free radio setup, it offers a cost-effective wireless solution where it is too costly or not possible to run a wire. Radioline features simple I/O to I/O communication without the need for programming software. More advanced configurations, such as high-speed serial communication, network topologies up to 250 nodes, nonintrusive diagnostics and 128-bit AES encryption, can be accessed via the free programming software.
Radioline is available in two variants, 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz, allowing for applications to span distances from a couple hundred feet to multiple miles. The Radioline platform is well suited for simple wire replacement; pump control; sensor, flow and temperature monitoring; and PC/PLC/RTU interface applications.
