Description

Wireless communication is based on Trusted Wireless 2.0
technology. The high demand for a interference-free data
transmission using the license-free 900 MHz band, in
particular via the use of the FHSS method (FHSS) and 128-
bit data encryption (AES), is fulfilled.
In addition to an RS-232 and RS-485 2-wire interface, the
RAD-900-IFS wireless module supports the option of
directly connecting up to 32 I/O extension modules in the
station structure via the TBUS DIN rail connector.
Addressing of the wireless module and I/O mapping of the
I/O extension modules is carried out quickly and easily by
means of the thumbwheel on the front. Programming
knowledge is not required.
The PSI-CONF configuration and diagnostics software for
special functionality and diagnostic options in the wireless
module is available free of charge.
This product is only for export outside of the European Economic area.
Make sure you always use the latest documentation.
