  • Secure against manipulations thanks to the 128 bit encoded data transfer
  • The wireless modules are not available in industry for other Bluetooth devices
  • It can be operated parallel with WLAN 802.11b/g systems without interferences, since busy channels are automatically detected and are not used
  • The transmission power is automatically reduced to the necessary capacity
  • The cycle time for seven IO modules is approximately 20 ms
    +/-5 ms (provided a fast Modbus PLC is being used)



Easy start-up and easy equipment replacement

Start-up is easy and comfortable via the web interface: Select Search new IO modules and the configuration of the network is already completed! The ID plug is automatically configured via Bluetooth.
