Radioline gateway

Radioline gateway

Radioline is a licence-free transmission system (Radioline) for remote transfer of data in infrastructure applications. The solution offers wireless signal transmission of measuring values for flow, level, pressure, temperature, analytical and other devices via an external power-operated license-free radio modem. It transmits serial data (Modbus RTU), digital and analogue signals (0/4…20 mA) as well as digital pulses. The transmission range of the radio system is up to 20 km / 12 mi from one station to another. The range can be extended by the use of intervening stations as each station amplifies the signal to the control panel as a repeater.

The system is basically available as a pre-wired complete solution featuring wireless modules and I/O modules in rugged boxes (IP66). For connecting several measuring devices, the multifunctional solution can also be put together as a customized package with a desired number of I/O modules. Latest encryption standards provide data security.
