Advantech BB Zlinx Standard Wireless I/O

Zlinx™ Wireless Modbus I/O - flexible enough to fit your applications.

These plug-n-play units combine traditional Modbus RTU remote analog and discrete I/O with built-in wireless connectivity. Wireless RTU serves as Modbus slave RTU in radio-based SCADA systems, or as a peer-to-peer communication platform.

Two Ranges Available
- Short, Long range.

Active Repeaters
- With built-in repeater functionality on 900 MHz -LR models, you can ensure vital signals get through.

Modular
- Just snap on your I/O and you are ready to communicate.

Wide Temperature
- Meets most indoor or outdoor applications.

Rugged circuitry
- prevents signal degradation.

128 / 256 Bit AES Encryption
- Secures data.

Selectable RF Transmit Power
- Allows you to optimize the transmitter power for your application.

Selectable Over-the-air Data Rate
- Allows you to decrease the OTA Data Rate (on -LR and -LR-AU versions), effectively increasing the radio transmitter’s range.

Exception Reporting
- In Modbus mode, allows the reporting of possible problems with connected devices.

Fail Safe
- Allows you to set I/O to a safe state in the event of a communications failure.

Calibration
- Calculates correction factors to make I/O values better match your sensor.

Communications Failure Alarm
- Allows the first DO to be configured as a COM failure alarm indicator.

Invert Output
- You can invert the logic of all DO’s in peer-to-peer mode.

Monitor
- Use the Zlinx™ Manager Software to monitor your I/O.
