Description
The AirGate Modbus gateway facilitates the creation of wireless sensor networks by extending Modbus RS485 networks, offering flexibility and scalability within facilities through its long-range wireless communication of up to 3200 feet; operating independently of IT infrastructure via the NOVUS Air protocol (802.15.4), it ensures secure data traffic with 128-bit encryption and utilises low-interference frequency bands for stable, reliable communication, while its easy installation, configuration, and diagnostics make it an ideal solution for field commissioning.
Features
- Wireless branches for any wired RS485 network node
- Four operation modes
- Automatic configuration of a wireless tree topology network
- Connects devices up to 1000 meters apart
- Easy-to-use configuration software
