Connect PROFIBUS field devices and share data between these devices using ProSoft Technology's new ProLinx Wireless Gateways. ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) allows sharing data "over-the-air", in a high performance, secure way, between different industrial networks and protocols. Leaning on this revolutionary technology, ProLinx 6000 Wireless Gateways provide users more flexibility than ever before in industrial wireless solutions allowing heterogeneous networks to share process and status data wirelessly. The database also aids in providing additional wireless security by acting as an access firewall.

WA-PDP Features Include: • Utilizes a full function 802.11b wireless network card. • A powerful and secure over-the-air wireless protocol and a wired PROFIBUS Master or Slave interface port. • Functions as a client, providing an ultra-fast, secure and reliable wireless solution for the most demanding industrial applications. • For field devices, PROFIBUS DP Master gateway provides standard & extended diagnostic information and freeze/sync capability. • The PROFIBUS DP wireless set is configured to provide up to 200 bytes of read and write cyclic data. • Wireless features: Radio Network support up to 13 channels, 2.4 GHz ISM band, Direct Sequence Spread (DSSS), Proprietary Prosoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) plus WEP 64/128 Encryption with Key Rollover management using 4 WEP keys. • Easy-to-use PROFIBUS master network Graphical User Interface.

Compatible Products for Extended Flexibility and Functionality: • PROFIBUS PA converter – converts PROFIBUS DP to the 'intrinsically safe' protocol, PROFIBUS PA. • RadioLinx Modems – expand the reach of a WA-PDP gateway for local or remote devices in any number of application scenarios.

Standard ProLinx Features Include: • Simple set-up through ProSoft Configuration Builder module interface software • Asynchronous data transfer between dissimilar protocols • Stand-alone DIN-rail mounted aluminum-cased • Internal database consisting of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information, which is shared between all application ports

Wireless PROFIBUS Applications The Wireless ProLinx module offers one-to-one or one-to-many PROFIBUS interconnect scenarios. It provides the "backbone" communication for various field devices (including moving equipment) using different networks including the following combination of applications: • Wireless extension of network Slaves • Connection to multiple PROFIBUS DP wireless remote device networks • Communication between multiple and separate networks • Connection between multiple wireless remote device networks to SCADA or any central system

Certifications Include: • UL, UL/C, CE, ATEX, and PNO (PROFIBUS Test Center)
