Wireless Automation System with 4 Digital & 2 Analog I/O & HMI (Touch Screen), 4+ Mile Range

Description

The WAS - W/HMI adds an LCD touch screen controller. Monitor and control processes directly from the gateway. The Wireless Automation System (WAS) is a 900 MHz radio frequency network with integrated I/O that can operate in most environments while eliminating the need for wiring runs. Systems are built around a Gateway(s), which acts as the wireless network master device, and one or more Nodes. Additional Nodes (80442N) can be added to expand the WAS capabilities. The WAS combines Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) control architecture to ensure reliable data delivery within the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. The transceivers provide two-way communication between the Gateway and Node, including fully acknowledged data transmission site survey analyses. Lost RF links are detected, and relevant outputs set to user-defined conditions. Each device comes with four discrete inputs, four discrete (sourcing) outputs, two analog (0-20 mA) inputs, and two analog (0-20 mA) outputs. The Gateway device works as the master within each radio network system. The Gateway initiates communication and reporting with the Node(s). Each Node can be connected to a sensor or output device and report back the state of the I/O to the master (Gateway). The Gateway and Nodes can be arranged to extend the range (2 miles) of the network or to avoid obstacles in the transmissions path. Possible Applications: Control of pumps, conveyors, lights alarm systems and more. PLC activation, flow rate and tank monitoring, data logging and wireless automation.
