The SWA/SWS 5xx radio modems transmit serial, Modbus or Ethernet data between points of a plant without laying cables, in the licence-free 169 MHz (VHF) and 868 MHz (UHF) bands. They are installed in the SWA/SWS flameproof enclosure with an integrated antenna barrier and support store & forward, repeating and AES 128 encryption.

Key features

  • Licence-free 169 MHz and 868 MHz bands, 25/150/500 mW power
  • Modbus RTU version with 4 DI, 2 DO, counter, 2 AI and 2 AO 4–20 mA
  • RS232/RS485 serial version and Ethernet version with Modbus RTU over TCP
  • Point-to-point, multipoint, broadcast and digipeater; AES 128
  • Low consumption, 9–32 Vdc power supply (Modbus also battery powered)
  • Aluminium (SWA) or 316 stainless steel (SWS, also mining) enclosure
