Aw 27667 1410np Adaptive

The modem provides error-free transparent links between multiple nodes supporting various industrial protocols. Delivering up to 1 Mbps throughput to end-user applications, it is optimized for demanding control, automation and monitoring applications. The modem utilizes wideband modulation, adaptive equalization, rapid synchronization, error-control coding and power line-optimized deterministic token passing protocols, all optimized for the harsh industrial powerline. The foundation of this approach is "on-the-fly" equalization providing intelligence at the receiver to enable dynamic adaptation to the time-varying impairments of the powerline. Features include speeds to 1 Mbps application-usable throughput; rapid synchronization, reliable low latency communication with predictable, rapid response times; power line-optimized Forward Error Correction (FEC) and ARQ and a noise-immune deterministic MAC for robust multipoint network support. Units are available in both standalone and module form factors, including Eurocard module and DIN rail mounting.
