Zlinx™ Wireless Modbus I/O - flexible enough to fit your
applications. These plug-n-play units from B&B Electronics
Wire Replacement (Peer-to-Peer Mode)
combine traditional Modbus RTU remote analog and discrete I/O
with built-in wireless connectivity. Wireless RTU serves as
Modbus slave RTU in radio-based SCADA systems, or as a
peer-to-peer communication platform.
Replicate any analog or digital signal from a remote locationWirelessly! Use a pair of Zlinx™ Wireless I/O modules to read
sensor inputs or control actuators in hard-top-reach locations.
Inputs and outputs of the paired Zlinx radios will mirror each
other, making it easy to add wireless I/O to any application.
Three Ranges Available - Short, Medium, Long range.
Active Repeaters - With built-in repeater functionality on -MR
and 900 MHz -LR models, you can ensure vital signals get
through.
Modular - Just snap on your I/O and you're ready to go.
Wide Temperature - Meets most indoor or outdoor applications.
Rugged circuitry prevents signal degradation.
128 / 256 Bit AES Encryption – Secures your data.
Selectable RF Transmit Power – Allows you to optimize the
transmitter power for your application.
Modbus Peer-to-peer or Peer to Multi-peer
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Selectable Over-the-air Data Rate – Allows you to decrease the
OTA Data Rate on –LR and –LR-AU versions, effectively
increasing the radio transmitter’s range.
Exception Reporting – In Modbus mode, allows the reporting of
possible problems with connected devices.
Fail Safe – Allows you to set your I/O to a safe state in the event
Seamlessly add wireless I/O to any Modbus application.
Modbus is the most widely supported I/O protocol worldwide.
With Zlinx Wireless I/O you can now bring wireless remote I/O
into any Modbus system. Simply connect a Zlinx modem to and
RS-232 or RS-485 port of the Modbus master and it can now
poll up to 150 wireless I/O nodes – each node can be
configured for 8 to 48 I/O points.
of a communications failure.
Calibration – Calculates correction factors to make I/O values
better match your sensor.
Communications Failure Alarm – Allows the first DO to be
configured as a COM failure alarm indicator.
Invert Output – You can invert the logic of all DO’s in peer-topeer mode.
Monitor – You can use the Zlinx™ Manager Software to monitor
your I/O.
