The NETio Base Module can be purchased with two different levels of
service:
NETio Protocol Node—Supports access to the protocol library
for direct protocol addressability.
NETio Complete—Adds concurrent payload communication
for an attached RTU, PLC or other peripheral device, and signal
extension via WeXP to protocol capabilities. Serial connections
are supported. WeXP is also included for short-range linkage to
Wireless Expansion Modules installed up to 3,000 feet (914
meters) away.
• Ability to read analog inputs and discrete inputs
• Ability to generate analog outputs and discrete outputs
• Protocol-addressable analog and discrete points via a serial con-
nection
• Analog and discrete signal regeneration between devices via
WeXP
• NETio Wireless Expansion capability—WeXP
• Serial communication for an external RTU or PLC
MDS NETio modules are housed in compact and rugged high-impact
cases that need only be protected from direct exposure to the weather.
The modules are supplied with 35 mm DIN-rail brackets for quick and
easy installation.
The transceivers are designed for frequency-hopping spread-spectrum
operation in the license-free 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz band. They can pro-
vide reliable long distance communications over line-of-sight signal
paths. They employ digital signal processing (DSP) techniques for high
performance operation, even in the presence of weak signals or interfer-
ence.
Users with a mixture of equipment requiring serial data interfaces can
employ a combination of both NETio modules and MDS TransNET
Remotes communicating with a common MDS TransNET Master
Radio.

DIN RAIL MOUNTING & REMOVAL
NETio Base and Expansion Modules are designed for direct mounting
to a 35 mm DIN rail without the need for tools. To mount a module,
simply hook the bracket over the top portion of the DIN rail, and then
push the bottom of the radio in until it locks in place.
