Wireless I/O series Wi-ModPak

The wireless I/O series Wi-ModPak targets the growing market for wireless solutions, particularly in Process Industries, Factory Automation, and Water & Wastewater type applications. The series is Modbus/Profibus compatible, therefore capable to integrate with other Eurotherm existing products or any other third-party Modbus/Profibus installations. The Wi-ModPak series modules incorporate first rate technology with 256-bit encryption to ensure top level security. The new line offers a high level of flexibility and includes wireless I/O with up to eight I/O points per device and the associated expansion modules plus wireless gateways (no I/O’s) used for Modbus/Profibus communications. The same wireless I/O module can be set via software as a transmitting/receiving device or as a repeater for range extension or obstacle avoidance. The entire Wi-ModPak series is CE, UL and RoHS approved but on top of that, the wireless gateways, which typically are located next to high level monitoring/control systems, are also classified as Class I Division II, therefore suitable for hazardous locations, as encountered in the oil& gas and process industries.
