Phoenix Contact Radioline Family of Series — Wireless I/O System Communication | Quick, Easy, and Reliable:

Radioline is the wireless system for extended systems. Special features include extremely easy assignment of inputs and outputs by simply turning the thumbwheel – without any programming. Thanks to Trusted Wireless 2.0 technology, Radioline is the ideal choice for reliable use in industrial environments. The Wireless-MUX can be installed very quickly: simply connect, switch on, and you have a working wireless path. The system transmits 16 digital and 2 analog signals bidirectionally. This means that it can therefore replace a 40-wire signal cable.

Trusted Wireless I/O is an impressive solution for secure I/O communication even in environments subject to high levels of interference. Specifically developed for harsh conditions, this technology offers numerous properties to ensure your network communication. ***The 900 MHz wireless modules are approved exclusively for the US market.

System Feature Highlights:

Easy startup of wireless systems – by simply turning the thumbwheel, without any programming

High degree of reliability, thanks to new Trusted Wireless 2.0 technology, AES encryption, frequency hopping method, and coexistence management

Supported frequency bands: 868 GHz, 900 MHz, and 2.4 MHz

Range of up to 32 kilometers, thanks to adjustable data rate

Flexible network configuration: Radioline supports both point-to-point connections and complex mesh networks with up to 250 nodes

Save on devices: transmit I/O signals or serial data using a single device, thanks to the integrated RS-232/RS-485 interface

Can be extended with up to 32 I/O modules – thanks to DIN rail connector and hot swap-capable design

Range of up to 200 m with omnidirectional antennas, up to 400 m with directional antennas with a clear line of sight

Flexible communication, thanks to additional functions for the integration of non-HART data

Current Bluetooth 4.0 technology

Good diagnostic options, thanks to integrated status LEDs

I/O - data mode:

Radioline enables easy I/O signal distribution throughout the network and the creation of various network structures (as delivered). I/O mapping simplifies signal distribution significantly in large systems.

Assign inputs and outputs quickly by simply turning the thumbwheel. In this way you can distribute and multiply I/O signals freely in your network using I/O extension modules – without the need for any programming.

Serial - data mode:

Radioline can be used to network multiple controllers or serial I/O devices quickly and easily using wireless technology. In this way, serial RS-232/RS-485 cables can be replaced.

One Device – A Wide Range of Applications:

Wireless Multiplexer: Distribute I/O signals in an RS-485 network with up to 99 Radioline stations over existing 2-wire cables. I/O mapping simplifies signal distribution significantly in large systems. Assign inputs and outputs quickly by simply turning the thumbwheel. In this way you can distribute and multiply I/O signals freely in your network using I/O extension modules – without the need for any programming.

Intermedia Communication: A Radioline wireless system on an existing master can be expanded to include new RS-485 stations. The wireless and RS-485 modules form a combined system with up to 99 Radioline stations. I/O mapping significantly simplifies intermedia signal distribution in large systems. Assign inputs and outputs quickly by simply turning the thumbwheel. In this way you can distribute and multiply I/O signals freely in your network using I/O extension modules, without the need for any programming.

Intermedia Communication: Operates on any Modbus/RTU master. Modularly expandable with up to 32 I/O modules per RS-485 station.

Alternative Transmission Media: To increase the range, you can of course replace the RS-485 line with alternative transmission media. A wide range of converters is available for fiber-optic cables, SHDSL, wireless, and Ethernet technology.
