Radioline multipoint multiplexer
With the Radioline I/O modules, the Radioline RS-485 bus coupler provides you with a multiplexer system specifically for process use. The special feature: easy I/O mapping using the thumbwheel and multipoint operation over any 2-wire cables or alternative media.
Your advantages:
- New options for I/O distribution with up to 99 stations in the bus system, thanks to multipoint multiplexer operation
- Expansion of the Radioline wireless system by a wired line structure
- Can be used on any controller as a Modbus/RTU slave
- Bridge large distances using existing 2-wire copper cables or a wireless connection
- Use in zone 2 potentially explosive areas
I/O mapping
Use the thumbwheel to assign the I/O modules within a network to one another. Simply set the I/O modules that need to communicate with one another to the same number. For example, set a digital input to IO MAP address 12 and then also set the assigned digital output to IO MAP address 12 – the signals will then be distributed correctly throughout the entire system.
Typical areas of application
Process technology
Fill-level monitoring on tanks, temperature monitoring, flow rate measurements, pumping stations and well chains, pipeline monitoring, leakage monitoring, chemical park infrastructure, energy management, in Ex zone 2 areas
Water and wastewater
Water treatment plants, remote pumping station connection, remote well connection, rotating parts (a scraper bridge for example), fill-level monitoring
Energy and conveying technology
Energy technology: wind farms, surface mining, power station infrastructure, transformer stations, hydroelectric stations; conveying technology: monitoring of motors and conveyor belts, fault messages
Lighting and signaling
Urban infrastructure: signaling systems, street lighting, parking lot lighting, parking direction systems - construction activities: road construction, mobile traffic signal systems
One device – a wide range of applications
Multipoint multiplexer
Distribute I/O signals in an RS-485 network with up to 99 Radioline stations over existing 2-wire cables. I/O mapping simplifies signal distribution significantly in large systems.
Assign inputs and outputs quickly by simply turning the thumbwheel. In this way you can distribute and multiply I/O signals freely in your network using I/O extension modules – without the need for any programming.
Intermedia communication
A Radioline wireless system on an existing master can be expanded to include new RS-485 stations. The wireless and RS-485 modules form a combined system with up to 99 Radioline stations. I/O mapping significantly simplifies intermedia signal distribution in large systems.
Assign inputs and outputs quickly by simply turning the thumbwheel. In this way you can distribute and multiply I/O signals freely in your network using I/O extension modules, without the need for any programming.
Alternative transmission media
To increase the range, you can of course replace the RS-485 line with alternative transmission media. A wide range of converters is available for fiber-optic cables, SHDSL, wireless, and Ethernet technology.
