Product Description

 Welcome to the cutting-edge world of Data-Linc’s PlantLinc short to medium-range modem family! Our revolutionary “PLR” modems redefine short-range industrial communication, addressing your needs for in-plant wireless installations. Crafted in direct response to customer demands, these modems seamlessly replace less reliable technologies while retaining the robust FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) data transfer method found in our premium SRM Family – all at a lower competitive price.

Key Features:

Extended Reach with CIX Capabilities:

  • PLR modems bring you the same key CIX features in the 2.4 GHz license-free band, facilitating data transfer up to 2 miles* (3.2 km) with line-of-sight, even in high RFI/EMI and crowded band environments.

FHSS Radio with I/O Connections:

  • The PLR6530 FHSS radio offers connections for discrete and analog inputs and outputs, providing a versatile solution for I/O to I/O data exchange.

Flexible Networking Solutions:

  • Choose between I/O to I/O mirroring using PLR6530 radios for the entire network or implement an I/O to protocol solution with PLR6530 I/O units and the unique PLR6535 protocol to I/O Master. This system supports up to 384 I/O points across a maximum of 16 remote locations.

Simplicity in Implementation:

  • Radios with I/O connections offer a straightforward way to interconnect devices that do not share the same communication protocol or lack a communication port, enhancing simplicity in deployment.

User-Selectable Options:

  • Our included configuration software empowers you to define the desired state for discrete outputs in case of communication failure, putting you in control.

Hybrid Application Compatibility:

  • These competitively priced I/O solutions seamlessly integrate with corresponding versions of long-range radios, supporting hybrid CIX/PLR and SRM/PLR applications. This flexibility extends to network designs both inside and outside the plant.

*Greater range achievable in optimal conditions with clear line-of-sight, Repeaters, and/or higher gain antennas.
