The popular, straightforward method of distributing I/O information using white thumbwheels on the front of the equipment is now also available for RS-485 networks. Addressing the RS-485 front module is quick and easy too – all it takes is a turn of the yellow thumbwheel. This enhances the Radioline system's flexibility, allowing it to be used for solutions in even more applications. To increase the range, it is of course possible to replace the RS-485 line with alternative transmission media. Phoenix Contact offers a range of converters for fiber-optic cables, SHDSL, wireless or Ethernet technology.
