Video: New Access Points For Industrial Radio Networks
The task of these new central components in the industrial radio system has not changed: they bundle the signals of the radio switching devices and forward them to the customer's IT infrastructure via WLAN or Ethernet.
More compact than the previous generation
The new network components are significantly more compact than the previous generation. This creates the prerequisite for easy mounting using a magnetic holder or screws. At the same time, they offer additional functionalities and convenience features. The power consumption is lower, a WLAN adapter has been integrated into the housing, and the input voltage is now variable from 12 to 24 V DC. External antennas allow the optimal adaptation of the radio technology to the environment.
The user can now - this is also new - do without the previously required application server because the radio signals are sent directly from the access points to the customer's IT infrastructure and processed there.
Can be used worldwide
All battery-operated radio switches and sensors for the sWave platform can be integrated into the radio network via the new access points, which are now available for the frequencies 868, 915 and 922 kHz. They thus meet the radio standards in Europe, North America, Australia and Japan, so that the sWave.Net radio network can be used worldwide. (jv)
