Radioline wireless system for wireless signal transmission at large facilities

The Radioline wireless system from Phoenix Contact is designed for wireless signal transmission at large facilities. I/O mapping is one feature that distributes signals from up to 250 stations within the system without any software. Here, input signals receive I/O addresses by means of thumb wheels, with these addresses being mapped to corresponding output modules. Because identical signals can also be outputted several times, it is possible to set up intelligent distribution and signal multiplication in the field.

Radioline and its integrated functions can be used universally for different applications, including I/O signals, serial data or the implementation of I/O to Modbus. The stations can be arranged as needed in point-to-point, star or mesh structures. Each station can also be used as a wireless repeater for other stations. The devices use this feature on the licence-free, 2.4 GHz frequency. They are based on further advances in Trusted Wireless Technology, which has been in use for over 10 years in industrial applications.

The I/O stations can be expanded modularly. The modules also use high-quality galvanised channel-to-channel isolation and can be switched out easily while the system is in operation. Additionally, the digital channels are equipped with wide-range inputs and relay outputs for a range of possible applications up to 250 V.
