SR61 is available with a choice of scanning options: standard range area imager, MEMS laser or linear scanning. The SR61 allows companies to standardize on a single form factor and choose the scanning technology that best suits their application needs, from low-light environments to highly dense or difficult to read barcodes.

The JetWave 2410 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11g/b Wireless Outdoor Access Point complies with IEEE 802.11b/g standards. It links two or more separate networks (typically located in different buildings) to create a single expanded LAN quickly, simply, and economically.

GOT (Graphic Operator Terminal) fanless touch panel computers have an optional rotational WLAN antenna (IEEE 802.11b/ 802.11g) for wireless network connections. By simply plugging in the Mini PCI WLAN card, users have instant access to a wireless LAN. They work in temperatures from -20 to +55ºC and withstand vibration to 1.3G. The super slim design is perfect for limited space environments.

The kit contains four CS Series capacitive sensors, one DS-2100 WiFi display and summing device with wireless connection capability, LoadVUE software for simplifying measurement and calibration tasks using a PC, all the data cables and a 9V power adapter to connect and power the system. It can connect wirelessly to a PC using 802.11b WiFi interface.

WLS-TC and WLS-TEMP temperature data acquisiton systems have an RF module, which allows for wireless data transfer. Users can acquire and process temperature data for monitoring and control at distances up to 150 feet indoors, and as much as 2460 feet line-of-sight outdoors.

OS24-SR Solar Power Supply provide power to a Wireless Radio Modem to function as an Access Point and/or Repeater. It uses a high efficiency photovoltaic solar module (PV) to convert the sun’s energy to 12 Volts dc. The system's solid-state controller maintains continuous battery monitoring and temperature compensated charging during daylight hours.

KAN354B router provides a BACnet WiFi Mesh network for indoor commercial and industrial building systems. It enables new and retrofitted buildings to be outfitted with state-of-the-art building controls with minimal or no new wiring required. BACnet is a standard protocol for building automation and control systems.

SCANEX barcode readers have Gas Zone 1 and Dust Zone 22 ATEX approvals, with North American approvals pending. The readers are available in hand-held versions with wireless or cabled operation, stationary miniature styles, and intrinsically safe models. SCANEX may be used for production management in a variety of industries with hazardous locations.

Intermec's CN3 and CV30 wireless mobile computers will use AirForce One Wi-Fi technology from Broadcom. The addition of Wi-Fi technology optimizes device security, roaming and interoperability and offers higher levels of integration, power savings and voice over IP performance.

AVIAOK, Drivven and S.E.A. have developed custom wireless modules for the CompactRIO platform. Modules are suitable for automotive, aerospace and military in-vehicle applications; wireless communications; position monitoring for mobile applications; and direct connectivity to in-vehicle sensors for electronic control unit (ECU) design and rapid prototyping.

The Memor pocket-sized Windows-powered mobile computer is an extremely compact, lightweight, versatile and robust device that combines integrated bar code reading and wireless communication capabilities. It is suitable for light industrial operations such as warehouse management, inventory, picking, shipping, receiving, etc.

The Wireless Logic Controller platform simplifies the integration and development of automation systems and enterprise control solutions with hardware, user programmable IEC 61131-3 standards-based middleware, and end-user data communications. Development, monitoring and control is made easier through the use of integrated cellular communications, industrial hardened I/O, and standard fixed-wire networks integrated into one rugged design.

These sensors are designed to measure rotating drive torque using a conventional shaft-to-shaft configuration for in-line placement. The design incorporates a digital non-contact wireless system that provides power to the rotating electronics mounted on the shaft and transmits the signal back to the receiver in digital format.
