Wireless in the Factory

Aug. 1, 2003
The MCR-RT-I/O-Plus is an integrated radio and I/O module with expandable I/O options that is designed as an enhancement to the MCR-RAD point-to-point one-way wireless device.

The bidirectional feature of the MCR-RT-I/O-Plus enables the device to be used in wireless monitoring and control applications. Typical in-plant range is 600 to 1,000 feet with no line-of-sight required, enabling the elimination of cable and conduit for analog and digital signals in harsh industrial environments. The transmitter and receiver are powered separately with a 12-30VDC source. The transceivers and I/O modules are packaged in a slim, 22.5mm DIN-rail mount housing with integrated bus connection for communications and power. Multiple optional I/O modules can be added.
