Build secure industrial wireless data links between RTUs, PLCs, I/O Expanders, controllers and sensors without cable over distances of up to 35 miles using Synetcom's Serial SCADA Radio Modem. Create RTU or PLC based SCADA systems that are networked using wireless serial RS485 data multidrop connections.

Features:

• High Speed - 220 Kbps @ 2.4 GHz - frequency hopping spread spectrum radio modem
• Flexible Baud Rate - 1,200 baud to 220 Kbaud serial port
• Industrial Grade - -40°C to +70°C, surge, short circuit and RF filtering on all I/O
• Radio Types - 900 MHz & 2.4 GHz
• Flexible Networking - Supports point to point and point to multipoint links - radio modem delivers multidrop RS485 between 2 or more sites High data security - 256 bit AES encryption 1 watt 900 MHz radio
• Long Range - up to 35 miles with 20 dB fade margin (2.4 GHz line of sight)

Synetcom's Serial SCADA Radio Modem can be used to link SCADA devices such as PLCs. The radio delivers transparent error-free serial data in adverse industrial environments, even with other in band interference (other nearby spread spectrum radios).

Simpler SCADA systems are easily constructed without PLC and RTU devices by connecting the SCADA Radio Modem to Synetcom's Radio Telemetry I/O Expander module. The combination creates high I/O count 4-20 mA current loop, discrete and relay connections between sites without cables, PLCs (and associated PLC programming expenses). As few as one I/O point between a pair of locations can be easily and incrementally expanded to many I/O points between many locations. Only one SCADA Radio Modem is required at each site. No programming is required.

Installation

The Serial SCADA Radio Modems are shipped factory-configured and tested. There is no field configuration necessary. Typical installation involves simply mounting and powering the units and connecting the antennas and serial ports.

Repeaters

Radio Modem repeaters are used whenever either distance or major obstructions cause the radio signals to be weak. We offer several versions, including one for each Radio Modem type. Data is processed through all Repeaters in digital form so sensor reading accuracy is never affected.

System Accessories

Synetcom offers a complete line of accessories and system enhancements including:

• Antennas and coaxial cable for short and long distance applications
• Lightning and external surge / loop isolation equipment
• NEMA plastic and metal enclosures with internal DIN rail mounts - designed to house the radio, power supply and other options
• Solar panel, battery, radio enclosure optimized for installations where AC power is not available.
