The wireless Ethernet 902 MHz radio modem (industrial PLC rack mount enclosure) for Allen-Bradley SLC 500, versions for GE Fanuc and Modicon PLCs also available

Data-Linc Group’s SRM6200E-SLC Wireless Ethernet Modem has been designed to mount in an Allen-Bradley SLC Rack. The SRM6200E-SLC is factory pre-configured for easy, hassle-free installation. It offers an unsurpassed rated range of up to 25 miles (40 km) and an installed range of up to 35 miles (56 km) in optimal conditions with line-ofsight and an omni directional antenna, farther with Repeaters and/or a high gain antenna. Based upon proven SRM6210E technology, the SRM6200E-SLC adds new flexibility to system design by providing a highly reliable wireless alternative in a compact package.

The SRM6200E-SLC employs Smart Spectrum™ frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology in the 902-928 MHz frequency band for secure, robust communication. Data-Linc Group’s FHSS technology, coupled with 32-bit CRC error detection, enables the SRM6200E-SLC to reliably deliver critical information.

RF site surveys are usually unnecessary and an FCC site license is not required. The SRM6200E-SLC wireless technology eliminates the need for hard wire or fiber cable, which is often expensive and difficult to install.

The SRM6200E-SLC can bridge two Ethernet segments or connect multiple Ethernet nodes to a master PLC. The SRM6200E-SLC offers 10BaseT (UTP) interface to the Ethernet devices, uses MAC layer filtering and supports most Ethernet protocols for true protocol transparency.

The SRM6200E-SLC supports a number of configurations, including point-to-point, point-tomultipoint and multiple Repeaters if required. Multipoint operation permits an unlimited number of Remotes. SRM6200E-SLC can function as a Repeater/Remote to extend range or work around obstructions. Back-to-back radio modems are not required for Repeater function but can be used to maximize data throughput.

As with all Data-Linc products, support services such as pre-sale project consultaion, post-sale tech support with PLC expertise and site survey planning assistnance are part of the Data-Linc Group commitment.
