Product Description
DATA-LINC’s PLR6030 serial modem was crafted to meet the demands of short-range in-plant to medium-range installations. This modem is the result of direct feedback from our customers seeking reliable data transfer solutions at a competitive price point for shorter-range applications, unlike our SRM modems, which are ideal for long-range applications in the 900MHz band.
Advanced FHSS Technology:
- Empower your communication with the robust Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) data transfer method, mirroring the excellence of our premium SRM Family.
Extended Reach:
- Operates in the 900 MHz license-free band, providing an impressive data transfer range of up to five miles (8 km) with line-of-sight, and even farther with Repeaters.
Unsurpassed Data Integrity:
- Thrive in high RFI/EMI and crowded band environments with confidence. The PLR6030 ensures unmatched data communication integrity, especially in areas with existing wireless infrastructure.
Configurability and Diagnostics:
- Enjoy the flexibility of software configurability, and access independent configuration and diagnostic software through the separate DB9 serial port. LED status lights on the front panel provide convenient access to critical data communication information for quick diagnostics.
Security Matters:
- Uphold the highest standards of security with AES-256 encryption, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of your data.
Network Flexibility:
- Support both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network topologies with an unlimited number of radios. Configure each modem as Master, Remote, Repeater, or Repeater/Remote using the included software.
Reliability Redefined:
- Continue to experience Data-Linc’s well-earned reputation for superior reliability, versatility, and performance in wireless industrial data communication.
Maximum Flexibility:
- These competitively priced modems offer maximum flexibility in network design both inside and outside the plant, providing tailored solutions for your specific needs.
*Greater range is achievable in optimal conditions with clear line-of-sight, Repeaters, and/or higher gain antennas. For detailed specifications, refer to our datasheet.
