3 Short description
Wireless communication is based on Trusted Wireless 2.0 technology. The wireless mod-
ules meet the high requirements for interference-free data transmission through, among
other things, the use of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) method and
128-bit data encryption (AES).
In addition to an RS-232 and RS-485 2-wire interface, the wireless modules support the op-
tion of directly connecting up to 32 I/O extension modules in the station structure via the DIN
rail connector.
Addressing of the wireless modules and I/O mapping of the extension modules is carried
out quickly and easily by means of the thumbwheel on the front. You can use the yellow
thumbwheel on the wireless module to set the RAD ID and the white thumbwheel on the ex-
tension modules to set the I/O MAP address. Programming knowledge is not required. You
can easily start up the wireless network without the need for software.
In addition, the wireless network can be extended with up to 98 RS-485 stations
(RAD-RS485-IFS, Order No. 2702184). I/O data can therefore be distributed across vari-
ous media using the thumbwheel.
The PSI-CONF configuration and diagnostic software for special functions and diagnostic
options of the wireless module is available free of charge.
Features
Flexible network applications: I/O data, serial data, PLC/Modbus RTU mode
Adjustable data rates for the wireless interface
Easy point-to-point or network structures (star, mesh)
Yellow thumbwheel for unique addressing of wireless modules in the wireless network
Integrated RS-232 and RS-485 interface
Can be extended with up to 32 I/O modules per station via DIN rail connector (hot-
swappable)
128-bit AES data encryption and authentication
Unique network addressing via plug-in configuration memory (RAD-CONF) for secure,
parallel operation of multiple networks with different RF bands
Data rates and ranges can be configured using the PSI-CONF software
International approvals
Installation in Ex Zone 2 (RAD-2400-IFS and RAD-868-IFS only)
Can be combined with RS-485 stations
The RAD-RS485-IFS RS-485 front module is not described in this user manual. For ad-
ditional information, visit phoenixcontact.com/product/2702184.
Make sure that all the wireless modules in a network have the same firmware version.
Where possible, always use the latest firmware.
Various I/O extension modules are available for setting up the wireless system quickly and
easily. You can therefore adapt the number and type of signals to the respective application.

You can connect up to 32 different I/O extension modules to each wireless module via the
DIN rail connector. Data is transmitted and power is supplied to the I/O extension modules
via the bus foot.
When using the device in a connection station, use the supplied 17.5 mm DIN rail connec-
tor. Only use the DIN rail connector in conjunction with 24 V DC devices.
Mount the wireless module to the left and the I/O extension modules only to the right
of the wireless module.
The individual extension modules can be arranged in any order.
2.4 GHz wireless modules only: install the wireless module at least 1 m away from
other devices using the 2.4 GHz frequency band (e.g., WLAN, Bluetooth, microwave
ovens). Otherwise, both the link quality and the data transmission speed will be re-
duced.

Parallel supply via the screw terminal blocks and with a system power supply via the
bus foot is not possible.
For redundant supply, you can connect a second MINI-SYS-PS 100-
240AC/24DC/1.5 system power supply.
The wireless modules have one RS-232 interface and one RS-485 2-wire interface. Con-
nect the I/O device to the wireless module via the corresponding interface.
Activate and configure the RS-232 or RS-485 interface using the PSI-CONF software
(from page 45 onwards).
You can only use one interface per wireless module. Parallel operation of both inter-
faces is not possible.
Connect the overall shielding braid of the RS-485 bus cable correctly via an external
shield connection clamp (e.g,. SKS 8-SNS35, Order No. 3062786).
Choose the type of the overall shielding braid according to the expected interference:
Firstly, connect the shield on one side. This suppresses electrical fields.
To suppress disturbances caused by alternating magnetic fields, connect the shield on
both sides. When doing so, ground loops must be taken into consideration. Galvanic
disturbances along the reference potential can interfere with the useful signal, and the
shielding effect is reduced.
If several devices are connected to a single bus, the shield must be connected to each
device (e.g., by means of clamps).
Connect the bus shield to a central PE point using short, low-impedance connections
with a large surface area (e.g., by means of shield connection clamps).
The wireless modules are operated on a 2-wire bus cable. RS-485 bus connections must
be terminated at both ends with a 390/150/390 termination network.
Depending on the position of the device on the RS-485 bus cable, activate or deactivate
the termination network.

In RS-485 mode, you can create a network with several I/O devices. Use a twisted pair bus
cable to connect the I/O devices. Fit this bus cable with a termination network at the two fur-
thest points.
Connect the single wires of the data cable to the COMBICON plug-in screw terminal
block (Figure 4-1, item 10).
Make sure the signal assignment is correct.

The RS-232 interface of the wireless module is of DTE type (Data Terminal Equip-
ment). This means that terminal point 5.2 (Tx) is always used to transmit and terminal
point 5.1 (Rx) is always used to receive.
Only connect the wireless module to devices which meet the requirements of
EN 60950.
According to the standard, you can connect a DCE device (Data Communication Equip-
ment) to the RS-232 interface using a 1:1 cable (Figure 4-10). It is also possible to connect
a DTE device using a crossed cable (Figure 4-11).

If you are not sure whether the device to be connected is of DTE or DCE type, you can also
measure the voltage. Measure the voltage between Tx and GND in the idle state:
Voltage of approximately -5 V: DTE device
Voltage of approximately 0 V: DCE device
The wireless module has an RSMA antenna socket for an external antenna. Various instal-
lation examples can be found under Typical combinations of antennas and adapter cables

By default upon delivery, the receive preamplifier is activated. The transmission power is
set so that the devices can cover the greatest possible distances. Therefore, if the devices
are operated directly next to one another the receiver may become overloaded. In this
case, remove the antennas, increase the distance between the devices and antennas or
reduce the transmission power using the PSI-CONF software.
The device can be reset to the default settings either manually or using the PSI-CONF soft-
ware.
Manual reset
Disconnect the device from the supply voltage.
Hold down the SET button located on the front of the device and switch the supply volt-
age on.
Hold down the SET button until the DAT LED flashes.
You can update the firmware using the PSI-CONF software. The device is reset to the de-
fault settings after a firmware update.
In the device selection area, select Wireless, RAD-2400-IFS or Wireless,
RAD-868-IFS.
Select Update firmware.
The Radioline wireless system offers three different options for signal and data transmis-
sion:
You can select only one operating mode. It is not possible to simultaneously transmit
I/O signals and serial data.
If the wireless system is operated in an environment where other networks are also present,
e.g., additional Radioline networks, then a configuration memory can be used (see Config-
uration via CONFSTICK on page 42). Extended settings of the wireless modules can also
be configured using the PSI-CONF software (from page 45 onwards).
By default upon delivery, all wireless modules are in I/O data mode. For simple I/O-to-I/O
applications with extension modules, you can easily set the addresses using the thumb-
wheel. You can therefore establish a wireless connection to other wireless modules without
any programming effort (see Setting the address of the wireless module using the thumb-
wheel on page 42 and Setting the address of the extension modules via the thumbwheel
on page 60).
The RAD-RS485-IFS RS-485 front module for I/O extension modules allows Radioline sta-
tions to be operated via a 2-wire RS-485 bus system. The front module can be extended
with up to 32 I/O extension modules via the DIN rail connector.
You can connect Radioline RS-485 stations to a Radioline master wireless module and
thereby extend the wireless network. All devices in the wireless network and in the RS-485
network form one system. All stations are addressed uniquely using the yellow thumbwheel.
The I/O signals can be distributed easily between all stations, regardless of the medium
used.

The RAD-RS485-IFS RS-485 front module is not described in this user manual. For ad-
ditional information, visit phoenixcontact.com/product/2702184.
In serial data mode, multiple controllers or serial I/O devices are networked quickly and eas-
ily using wireless technology. In this way, serial RS-232 or RS-485 cables can be replaced.
You need to configure each wireless module using the PSI-CONF software (from page 45
onwards).
You can connect the I/O extension modules to the controller directly via the integrated
RS-232 and RS-485 interface by means of wireless communication. In PLC/Modbus RTU
mode, the master wireless module (RAD ID = 01) operates as a Modbus slave. The master
wireless module has its own Modbus address.
You can connect extension modules to each wireless module in the network. The I/O data
of the extension module is stored in the internal Modbus memory map of the master wireless
module. In addition, the diagnostic data from all wireless devices is stored here.
You need to configure each wireless module using the PSI-CONF software (from page 45
onwards).
Start by setting the desired station address with the yellow thumbwheel on the wireless
module. There must be one master (RAD ID = 01) and at least one repeater/slave
(RAD ID = 02 ... 99) in a network.
By default upon delivery, all wireless modules have the same network ID and the same
RF band. Using a configuration memory (CONFSTICK), you can configure a unique and se-
cure network without the need for software.
The CONFSTICK is used as a network key. Its network address (network ID) is unique and
cannot be assigned via the PSI-CONF software. Only wireless modules with the same
network ID can connect to one another.
You must configure each individual network device. To this end, you only need one CONF-
STICK for all wireless modules in the network. After configuration, you can remove the
CONFSTICK from the wireless module.
In addition, the CONFSTICK contains a preset frequency band (RF band). An RF band is a
group of frequencies made up of individual frequencies from the entire frequency band. Dif-
ferent RF bands use different frequencies.
If you operate several Radioline wireless systems in parallel, you should select different
RF bands.
2.4 GHz wireless modules: you can also set different RF bands from 1 ... 8 and
network IDs from 1 ... 127 using the PSI-CONF software (see page 46).
868 MHz wireless modules: for additional information on the various RF bands in
868 MHz wireless systems, refer to RF bands on page 133.
Different CONFSTICKS are available for easy configuration without the need for software:
For 2.4 GHz wireless modules:
RAD-CONF-RF3 for RF band 3 (Order No. 2902814, yellow)
RAD-CONF-RF5 for RF band 5 (Order No. 2902815, green)
RAD-CONF-RF7 for RF band 7 (Order No. 2902816, blue)
For 868 MHz wireless modules:
RAD-868-CONF-RF1 for RF band 1 (Order No. 2702197, red)

Carefully insert the CONFSTICK with the 12-pos. IFS connector into the S-PORT of the
wireless module.
Press the SET button on the wireless module for one second. Parameter read-in is
started. Read-in has been completed when the DAT LED lights up once. The new pa-
rameters are activated.
Remove the CONFSTICK from the wireless module.
Repeat this process for each individual wireless module in the network.
In order to transfer the configuration of a wireless module to another wireless module, you
can save the configuration to a memory stick (RAD-MEMORY, Order No. 2902828, white).
Pay attention to the firmware version of the wireless modules before using the mem-
ory stick. In order to ensure that a wireless module is capable of reading the memory
stick, it must have the same or later firmware version as the wireless module whose
configuration file is to be copied. Wireless modules with an earlier firmware version
are not able to read the memory stick.
If an error is detected while saving or checking the data, the DAT and ERR LEDs flash
simultaneously.
Copy common network parameters and individual device parameters to the memory stick:
Press and hold down the SET button on the wireless module for at least six seconds.
The four RSSI bar graph LEDs start a running light from bottom to top.
Insert the memory stick in the S-PORT of the wireless module. The copying of param-
eters is started automatically.
Wait until the running light stops. The write process has been completed.
Remove the memory stick from the wireless module.
Reading in common network parameters and individual device parameters via the
memory stick
This function enables all common network parameters and individual device parameters to
be read into the wireless module. A full copy of devices can be created, e.g., as a backup
copy.
Insert the memory stick in the S-PORT of the wireless module.
Press and hold down the SET button on the wireless module for at least six seconds.
Parameter read-in is started, the DAT LED flashes.
The read-in process has been completed once the DAT LED stops flashing. The new
parameters are activated.
Remove the memory stick from the wireless module.
You can make special settings using the PSI-CONF configuration and diagnostic software.
The software is available to download at phoenixcontact.net/products. A PC with Windows
operating system is required in order to use the software. Use the RAD-CABLE-USB
USB cable (Order No. 2903447) for configuration and diagnostics.
For additional information on the USB cable, please refer to the PACKB.RAD-CABLE-
USB packing slip. The latest documentation can be downloaded via the product at
phoenixcontact.net/product/2903447.
Install the software and the USB driver for the RAD-CABLE-USB cable. Follow the soft-
ware wizard.
After reading in an existing network project or creating a new project, the network settings
can be modified under Individual Settings. Here, the wireless network can be optimized
and adapted to your specific requirements. When you move the mouse over the individual
network parameters, you will see a short description under Help.
If several wireless systems are operated in parallel and in close proximity, you must set
the RF band and the network ID. These parameters can be set via the PSI-CONF soft-
ware or by using a CONFSTICK (see Configuration via CONFSTICK on page 42).
Observe the maximum permissible radiated transmission power at the antenna (EIRP, see
Table 5-4 or Table 5-5). If necessary, reduce the device transmission power via the
PSI-CONF software.
The transmission power can be calculated as follows:
Device transmission power + Antenna gain - Cable attenuation
Adjust the data transmission rate of the wireless interface to the respective application us-
ing the PSI-CONF software.
Default setting:
2.4 GHz wireless modules = 125 kbps
868 MHz wireless modules = 9.6 kbps

You can cover distances in the kilometer range using the wireless module if the following
conditions are met:
Suitable gain antennas are used
Line of sight
Adherence to the Fresnel zone
If you reduce the data transmission rate, obstacles such as walls or trees can be penetrated
much better. Please note, however, that the delay time increases when the data rate is re-
duced.
By default upon delivery, the receive preamplifier is activated. The transmission power is
set so that the devices can cover the greatest possible distances.
RAD-2400-IFS: 18 dBm
RAD-2400-IFS-JP: 20 dBm
RAD-868-IFS: 27 dBm
Therefore, if the devices are operated directly next to one another the receiver may be-
come overloaded. In this case, remove the antennas, increase the distance between the
devices and antennas or reduce the transmission power using the PSI-CONF software.
You can assign a device name or set the transmission power under Device Settings. All
device parameters are listed on the Overview tab.
Depending on the operating mode, you can configure the serial interface under Individual
Settings on the Serial Port tab.
To activate the serial interface, select the Serial data or PLC/Modbus RTU mode network
application under Network Settings.
You can only use one interface per wireless module. Parallel operation of both interfaces
is not possible.
Under Individual Settings on the Allowed Parents tab, you can define the wireless mod-
ules to which a connection may be established. This setting is required, for example, when
creating repeater chains. Repeater chains are used to circumvent obstacles or to set up re-
dundant wireless paths by means of several repeaters.
The Allowed Parents tab is only available if the Line/Mesh network type has been se-
lected.
A total of nine LEDs on the wireless module indicate the operating states.

By default upon delivery, the receive preamplifier is activated. The transmission
power is set so that the devices can cover the greatest possible distances. There-
fore, if the devices are operated directly next to one another the receiver may be-
come overloaded. In this case, remove the antennas, increase the distance
between the devices and antennas or reduce transmission power using the
PSI-CONF software (from page 45 onwards).
SET button
You can confirm a station change with the SET button, without performing a power up. Sta-
tion changes include:
Changing the RAD ID address of the wireless module
Changing the I/O MAP address of the extension module
Adding or removing an I/O extension module
Using a CONFSTICK or memory stick
After making any change, press the SET button for at least one second to apply the settings.
The DAT LED starts flashing. The read-in process has been completed once the DAT LED
stops flashing.
RF link relay
The RF link relay in the wireless module diagnoses the state of the wireless connection. If
the device is no longer receiving the data packets correctly, the relay is deactivated after a
while. The relay picks up again automatically when the wireless connection is re-estab-
lished. The relay has been designed as a changeover contact.
The RF link relay can be used as a fault message contact to indicate the failure of the wire-
less connection to the controller.

In a wireless network with more than one repeater/slave, only the yellow LED on the master
is permanently on. The signal strength is displayed on the repeaters/slaves. The indicated
signal strength always relates to the next wireless module in the direction of the master (par-
ent).
You can read the RSSI values via the serial interface of the master wireless module using
Modbus/RTU commands (see Section RSSI signal and error code registers on page 86).
You can display all current device settings for the station under Diagnostic on the Over-
view tab.
Select the desired station from the device list.
The entire wireless network can be diagnosed using the master wireless module
(RAD ID = 01).
When operating the network in serial data mode, it may not be possible to diagnose
all devices. In this case, stop the serial application in order to perform full diagnostics.
For information on troubleshooting, please refer to Section Detecting and removing
errors on page 153.
If an error occurs in the network, an error message is displayed under Device Status. If the
error is no longer present, the error message is reset.
Possible error messages:
Missing input module
Missing output module
Double assignment of I/O MAP address
Error on IFS bus

The I/O Status tab displays the status and the current values of the connected
I/O extension modules.
The Serial Port tab displays the parameters currently set for the RS-232/RS-485 interface.
The Network settings tab displays the network parameters currently set as well as the set-
tings for the CONFSTICK, if used.
Several corresponding output modules at different stations can be assigned to one digital
or analog input module. The inputs are transmitted parallel to all the outputs. The channels
of the input module are mirrored to the channels of the output module.
It is not possible to separately assign the individual input channels of an extension mod-
ule to different output modules.

For I/O-to-I/O transmission of signals, you must assign a corresponding output module to
the input module. Set the I/O MAP address (01 ... 99) using the white thumbwheel on the
I/O extension module.
It is not possible to individually assign the channels of the input and output modules.
Figure 5-22 Input module and output module with the same address
Once a wireless station has been started up (power ON), the wireless module will take
several seconds until it is ready for operation. Each connected I/O extension module in-
creases the startup time. Accordingly, a complete wireless station with 32 I/O extension
modules may take several minutes to start up. Only after this time has elapsed is the wire-
less station ready for operation.
You can configure the serial interface of the wireless module using the PSI-CONF software.
In order to connect the wireless module to the PC, use the RAD-CABLE-USB cable (Order
No. 2903447).
When operating the network in serial data mode, it may not be possible to diagnose
all devices. In this case, stop the serial application in order to perform full diagnostics.
Using the PSI-CONF software, you can assign different serial settings to the devices
under Individual Settings.
TFrameEnd parameter
TFrameEnd is the time maintained by the transmitting wireless module between two frames.
If the data received by the wireless module is followed by a certain period of time where no
further data is received, the wireless module assumes that the frame has arrived in its en-
tirety. The frame is then transmitted. This period of time is referred to as TFrameEnd.
TFrameEnd must be shorter than the minimum interval between two frames
(TFrameEnd < TIdleMin). TFrameEnd must, however, also be greater than the maximum interval
that is permitted between two characters in a frame. Otherwise the frame might be frag-
mented.
Frame 1 Frame 2
OK NOT OK
TFrameEnd TFrameEnd
If the master is not able to transmit the successive characters quickly enough and commu-
nication is aborted, you must increase the minimum pause time (TFrameEnd) between the in-
dividual characters of a telegram.
To adapt data transmission to other protocols, you can adjust the TFrameEnd and TIdleMin
parameters accordingly. Set the interface parameters under Individual Settings.
Activate PLC/Modbus RTU mode using the PSI-CONF software (from page 45 onwards). In
PLC/Modbus RTU mode, you can wirelessly connect I/O extension modules directly to a
controller (I/O to serial). The wireless module provides an RS-232 or RS-485 interface for
this. In PLC/Modbus RTU mode, the master wireless module operates as a Modbus slave.
It has its own Modbus slave address. The entire wireless network therefore behaves like a
single Modbus slave.
You can connect I/O extension modules to each wireless device in the network. A wireless
network can have a maximum of 99 extension modules. Use the white thumbwheel to set
the I/O MAP addresses.
The Modbus address is a unique address in the Modbus network. It is only assigned for
the master wireless module (RAD ID = 01). You can assign an address between 1 ... 247.
In order to enable the master wireless module to communicate with a controller via the
RS-232 or RS-485 interface, you must set the interface parameters. Please note that the
controller settings must match the settings of the wireless module.
You can monitor the Modbus connection between the controller and the wireless module via
a watchdog.
In PLC/Modbus RTU mode, a wireless network can have a maximum of 99 I/O extension
modules.
Use the white thumbwheel on the I/O extension module to set the I/O MAP address.
You can find information on addressing extension modules from page 60 onwards.
7.3 Watchdog
The Modbus telegram watchdog monitors the connection between the master wireless
module and the controller. It is triggered each time a Modbus telegram is received correctly.
You can activate the watchdog using the PSI-CONF software.
Under Individual Settings, select the Network Settings item. You can set a watchdog
time of 200 ms ... 65000 ms here.
.
If the watchdog is triggered, an action will be performed on the I/O output modules. You can
set this behavior in the event of an error using the DIP switches on the front.
OFF = RESET: output value is set to 0
ON = HOLD: hold the last output value
For more information on setting the DIP switches for the different extension modules, please
refer to Section Description of I/O extension modules on page 89.
If the watchdog is activated and Modbus communication interrupted, the red ERR LED will
flash on all wireless modules in the network. Depending on the DIP switch settings, the out-
put modules issue the corresponding hold or reset value.
In the Modbus protocol, the function codes define which data is to be read or written.
Other function codes exist in the Modbus protocol, but they are not supported.
Registers 1 ... 123 can be read or written with a command.
Please note that a distinction is made in the Modbus telegram between the register num-
ber and register address:
The register number starts with 1.
The register address starts with 0.
Function code 04
You must enter 0000 (hex0000) as the start address in order to read register 30001. The
address range 3xxxx is already defined by the function code field.
7.5 Module type and error code registers for I/O exten-
sion modules
You can read the module type and data currentness of the I/O extension modules from reg-
isters 30xx0 and 40xx0.
The individual I/O extension modules can be clearly distinguished by the module type. The
module type ID of the extension module can be read in the Modbus register.

You can use the white thumbwheel on the I/O extension module to assign an I/O MAP ad-
dress in the Modbus memory map. Example: if you set the thumbwheel of an input module
to I/O MAP address = 01, the register assignment is 30010.
Table 7-5 Setting the white thumbwheel for register 30010 (read)
The I/O data from the extension modules is stored in an internal register, the Modbus mem-
ory map. The Modbus memory map is located in the master wireless module with
RAD ID = 01. The data contained here can be read or written by a Modbus master.
The following process data tables for the individual extension modules show at what point
the I/O data is stored in the Modbus memory map. You can find a complete overview of the
Modbus memory map from page 83 onwards.

The RSSI values indicate the received signal strength on the wireless module. You can read
the RSSI values via the serial interface of the master wireless module (RAD ID = 01) using
Modbus/RTU commands. The RSSI values of all wireless modules in the network are within
address range 35001 ... 35250.
The measured value is represented in bits 0 ... 15. Values greater than 8000hex indicate an
error.

You can configure the input signals using the DIP switches on the front (0 mA ... 20 mA or
4 mA ... 20 mA). Any changes to the DIP switch settings will be applied immediately. In
PLC/Modbus RTU mode, the setting of the input signals is evaluated for error diagnostics.
When set to 4 mA ... 20 mA, for example, it is possible to detect an open circuit.

The process image of the I/O extension module consists of six data words. For additional
information, please refer to Section RAD-AI4-IFS process data on page 73.
The RAD-PT100-4-IFS analog I/O extension module has four Pt 100 inputs for tempera-
tures from -50C ... +250C. Pt 100 inputs T1 ... T4 can be mapped to analog outputs
I1/U1 ... I4/U4 of the RAD-AO4-IFS extension module. All inputs are electrically isolated
from one another, from the supply voltage, and from the remaining electronics.
Pt 100 resistance thermometers can be connected to the RAD-PT100-4-IFS I/O extension
module. The thermometers change their resistance according to the temperature. The
Pt 100 input signals are acquired by the RAD-PT100-4-IFS and mapped to proportional, an-
alog voltage or current signals of the RAD-AO4-IFS output module.
Example: at a temperature of -50C at the Pt 100 input, a current of 0 mA or a voltage of 0 V
is issued at the output module. At a temperature of 250C at the Pt 100 input, a current of
20 mA or a voltage of 10 V is issued at the output.
You can connect 2-wire or 3-wire sensors to the extension module. Take the measuring er-
rors of the different measuring methods into consideration.

(Measuring error valid for: copper cable = 57 m/mm2, TA = 25C, and Pt 100 sensor)
Make sure that the cable resistance and therefore the measuring error is as low as possible:
Use sensor cables that are as short as possible.
Avoid cable cross sections smaller than 0.5 mm2.
The temperature has only a small influence on the cable resistance.
You can calculate the cable resistance as follows:
1
RL = RL20 x [1 + 0.0039 x (TA - 20C)]

Since there are two cable resistances in the measuring system, the value must be doubled.
Using the average temperature coefficient = 0.385 /K for Pt 100, the absolute measur-
ing error in Kelvin can be determined for platinum sensors according to DIN.

The process image of the I/O extension module consists of six data words. For additional
information, please refer to Section RAD-DAIO6-IFS process data on page 81.
The table below shows typical delay times that have been determined under laboratory con-
ditions for frequency bands without any interference. The delay times may be higher or
lower in practice. The delay time is roughly doubled with each repeater in the network.
Due to the delay times in the wireless network (see Delay time on page 127), in I/O data
mode the digital inputs and outputs are only suitable for transmitting the state. The pulses
should therefore be very slow and transmitted with a fixed duty cycle of 50%.
For fast pulse transmissions, e.g., in the case of flow meters, use the RAD-DI8-IFS
I/O extension module in pulse counter mode (see Setting the DIP switches on page 109).
You can record pulses up to 100 Hz in pulse counter mode.
The pulse counter function is only available in PLC/Modbus RTU mode. Set the operating
mode using the PSI-CONF software (from page 45).
In pulse counter mode, the master wireless module maintains a central 32-bit Modbus reg-
ister with the counter state of the relevant pulse input. The Modbus register can be read and
written by any PLC via Modbus/RTU.
Phoenix Contact has developed Trusted Wireless 2.0 technology specifically for industrial
applications. Trusted Wireless 2.0 operates in the license-free 2.4 GHz or 868 MHz fre-
quency bands.
Features
Robust communication thanks to the frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
method
Automatic and manual mechanisms for coexistence with other systems transmitting in
the same frequency band
Secure data encryption and authentication
Long range thanks to high receiver sensitivity and variable data transmission rate
Flexible network structure with automatic connection management
Distributed network management
Comprehensive diagnostic options
Adaptations can be made to the relevant application
RF bands
Trusted Wireless 2.0 can be operated on different RF (radio frequency) bands. This enables
the simultaneous use of several Trusted Wireless 2.0 systems.
Range
Distances up to several kilometers can be covered with Trusted Wireless 2.0. You can set
the data rate of the wireless interface and adapt it to the relevant application. You can in-
crease the sensitivity of the receiver and therefore the range by reducing the data rate.
The relationship between range and data rate can be illustrated by the energy per bit trans-
mitted. The higher the energy per bit, the greater the achievable range. The energy per bit
results from the ratio between transmission power and data rate:
energy per bit = transmission power/data rate
2.4 GHz and 868 MHz wireless systems have different characteristics due to the wave-
length. Lower frequencies can overcome obstacles more easily. They also support longer
ranges.
2,4 GHz
The 2.4 GHz and 868 MHz frequency bands are subject to various directives. 20 dBm
(100 mW) maximum may be transmitted in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. In the 868 MHz fre-
quency band, the transmission power may reach 27 dBm (500 mW). Due to the higher
transmission power in the 868 MHz frequency band, longer ranges can also be achieved.
Network structures
2.4 GHz wireless modules can be used to create network structures with up to 250 devices.
Up to 99 devices are possible with 868 MHz wireless modules. In these network structures,
each device has a repeater function for forwarding data.
In addition, the Trusted Wireless network is able to self-heal connection aborts (self-healing
network). Alternative connection paths are initiated automatically. From a simple point-to-
point connection to complex mesh networks, you can flexibly create various structures.

Wireless planning enables you to determine whether the wireless system is suitable for the
intended application. The three essential requirements for wireless systems are:
Range
Data rate
Stability
These three factors influence one another.
When planning wireless paths over large distances, you need to consider elevation varia-
tions. A topographic map or a GPS device are very helpful in this regard. Using GPS de-
vices, you can indicate variations in elevation and measure distances by means of way
points. You can use the GPS device as a direction indicator when aligning the antennas later
on.
Theoretical planning
The following questions should be considered during theoretical planning:
What signals are to be transmitted?
What points are the signals to be transmitted between?
What is the distance between these points?
Are there any topographic or structural obstacles?
Are you able to circumvent these obstacles, e.g., by means of a repeater or higher
mast?
When evaluating the data, a system calculation can be carried out to determine whether the
wireless path is theoretically possible. A calculation example can be found from page 150
onwards.
To check the theoretical results, you should carry out an on-site practical test before pur-
chasing a wireless system. Check the location for master, slave, and repeater/slave mod-
ules based on the following criteria in order to achieve the best possible wireless connec-
tion:
Position of the antenna with a line of sight and sufficient signal strength
A primary power source for energy supply is available
Protection of wireless modules against the effects of weather and extreme ambient
conditions
Adequate access to the antenna, surge protection, interface, and other required cables
These requirements can be quickly assessed in most applications. Positioning the antenna
is usually the only difficult task. Of course, a connection path without any obstacles would
be perfect. However, small obstacles in the Fresnel zone will not necessarily disturb com-
munication. In general, obstacles in the way on long wireless paths have a greater influence
than those on short ones.
When installing a wireless system, it is very important that you use low-loss coaxial cables.
Using an unsuitable cable may lead to considerable loss in performance which cannot be
compensated by high antenna gain or by high transmission power. For every 3 dB of coaxial
cable loss, half the transmission power will be lost before reaching the antenna. The re-
ceived signal will also be reduced.
Consider the following factors when selecting the cable:
Cable length to the antenna
Acceptable signal loss
Options for routing the cables
Antennas
Select the antenna according to the wireless system and the required range.
In addition, the different antenna types are suitable for the following areas of application:
Omnidirectional antenna
Numerous devices in different directions, e.g., in mesh networks or networks with
repeaters
Freely mobile applications
Applications without a line of sight
In reflective environments the signal can be received via an indirect route.
Directional antenna
Large distances
Point-to-point connections
Stationary or linear mobile applications
Multiple point-to-point paths, decoupling due to directivity and different polarization
levels (see Figure 9-7)
NOTE: Malfunction
The wireless module must be at least 3 cm away from the installed antenna (accord-
ing to R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC).
Observe the installation instructions from the antenna manufacturer to ensure that the
directional antennas or omnidirectional antennas will function properly.
Note the polarization of the antenna. Most systems use a vertically polarized omnidirec-
tional antenna at the master station. The partner antennas must therefore be polarized
vertically. Vertical polarization means that the elements are aligned vertically to the
horizon. Crossing polarization between the stations results in signal loss (see
Table 9-4).
In a highly reflective environment: use antennas with circular polarization. This will
avoid polarization losses. You can also combine circularly and vertically polarized an-
tennas.

If you operate several wireless paths directly next to one another in parallel, you can al-
ternately align directional antennas horizontally and vertically. The signals of the vari-
ous wireless paths will therefore be decoupled.
.
Figure 9-7 Decoupling wireless paths due to directivity and different polarization levels
Antenna cables and antennas are directly exposed to atmospheric discharge. The anten-
nas and the entire infrastructure should therefore be protected against discharge. Protec-
tive devices with Lambda/4 technology are usually used for this. These surge protective de-
vices have a coaxial design. They are suitable for all common transmission systems. Low
attenuation and high bandwidth are simultaneously achieved by means of low-capacitance
protective circuits. Thanks to excellent impedance matching, the surge protection does not
distort the useful signal.
Use surge protection for installation outdoors.

The antenna is grounded via the surge protection.
The antenna mast must be grounded in accordance with national regulations.
In outdoor applications, use RAD-TAPE-SV-19-3 vulcanizing sealing tape (Order No.
2903182) to protect adapters, cable connections, etc.
Run the antenna cable inside the mast or fasten it to the outside of the mast with
UV-resistant cable binders.

Keep the connection between the wireless module and the antenna as short as possible.
Every extension or adapter cable (pigtail) will cause higher attenuation.

When using wireless transmission technology, the signal between the transmitter and re-
ceiver is attenuated by the air. The following table lists attenuation values for different dis-
tances with a free Fresnel zone.
General formula: free space path loss [dB] = 32.4 + 20 x log(f) + 20 x log(d)
Formula for 2.4 GHz: free space path loss [dB] = 100 + 20 x log(d)
Formula for 868 MHz: free space path loss [dB] = 91.17 + 20 x log(d)
f = transmission frequency in MHz
d = distance between the antennas in km
The free space path loss is later included in the system calculation (see Section Equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) on page 149).
In addition to the free space path loss, there are other factors which influence the wireless
path. Dispersion, diffraction, and reflection represent types of interference that occur when
the wireless signal encounters obstacles. They result in multipath propagation.
Dispersion
The dispersion of the wireless signal, e.g., at a tree, means that the wireless signal is dis-
persed in several directions. A tree without any leaves virtually allows all signals to com-
pletely pass through, whereas a tree with foliage results in a considerable degree of disper-
sion. The leaf surfaces disperse the wireless signal in many different directions.
Diffraction
Diffraction of the wireless signal, e.g., on edges and obstacles, involves the signal being re-
fracted around the edge. The signal then changes its direction. This is similar to the refrac-
tion of light in a crystal.
Reflection
Reflection on a smooth metal surface involves virtually the entire wireless signal being re-
flected at the same angle. In certain applications, the reflection may have a positive effect,
e.g., if there is no line of sight. Reflections mainly occur in buildings.
Penetration
The type of wall encountered also influences the attenuation of the wireless signal. The fol-
lowing constructions adversely affect the wireless signal, for example:
Hollow lightweight walls with aluminum-lined insulation
False ceilings with metal or carbon fiber panels
Lead glass
Insulation glass (Thermopen)
Glass with a metal coating
Steel objects
Fire walls
Elevator shafts and staircases
Each material has a different degree of attenuation. However, the following typical values
provide a rough guide.
Also observe the angle between the transmitter and receiver. Depending on the angle, the
radio waves have to penetrate more or less material.

Weather influences
Snow, rain or hail only have a small effect on the wireless signal. With rainfall of 50 liters per
square meter, i.e., a cloudburst, attenuation of around 0.02 dB/km occurs at a frequency of
2.4 GHz, for example.
Strong wind does not influence the wireless signal, however, it does mean that the antenna
must be securely fixed in place. Especially when using directional antennas with a small
opening angle, you should make sure that the antenna cannot be moved by the wind. If the
antenna is moved by just 1 cm from its original position, this may result in partial loss of the
wireless signal, especially in the case of a long transmission path.
A certain area between the transmitting and receiving antennas on the wireless path is re-
ferred to as the Fresnel zone. There should be a line of sight between the antennas, espe-
cially when covering with large distances. In order to stay within the Fresnel zone, it might
be necessary to install the antennas at a height of a few meters. This area should also be
free from any other obstacles.
The ideal wireless path with a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver is not al-
ways possible. In real-life applications, obstacles that affect the wireless channel often have
to be taken into account. The wireless path can work even if obstacles such as houses and
trees are within the Fresnel zone. The decisive factor is the number of obstacles and the
area they occupy in the Fresnel zone. In this case, test measurements should be performed.
Inside buildings, e.g., in conventional automation environments, there is a predominance of
reflections. They contribute to a good wireless connection even if the Fresnel zone is not
free from obstacles.
The following figure shows the Fresnel zone between two antennas. The required mounting
height for the antennas depends on the radius of the Fresnel zone.
d
r
r = 9.68 m
Result: the radius of the Fresnel zone is 9.68 m at a wavelength of 0.125 m (2.4 GHz) and
a distance of 3000 m between the antennas.
9.13 Range
Specifying ranges is very difficult due to the influence of various factors. Based on practical
tests, it is possible to provide the following guide values. They may be significantly higher or
lower depending on the actual application.
The range depends on the following:
Set data rate
2.4 GHz: a default setting of 125 kbps
868 MHz: a default setting of 9.6 kbps
Length of the antenna cable
Antenna used
Line of sight
Adherence to the Fresnel zone
The equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is a gauge of the radiation power of an
antenna. The EIRP value is the sum of the transmission power in dBm and the antenna gain
in dBi.
Example for 2.4 GHz:
Transmission power = 14 dBm
Antenna gain = 8 dBi
Cable attenuation (3 m EF 142) = 2.85 dB
The EIRP depends on the frequency used. You may not exceed the following maximum
EIRP for legal reasons.
For 2.4 GHz:
Maximum of 20 dBm outside Europe
Maximum of 19 dBm in Europe, depending on the set transmission rate
For 868 MHz:
Maximum of 27 dBm
If the maximum EIRP is exceeded, adapt the cable, adapter or transmission power if
necessary.

It is not possible to provide basic calculation principles for obstacles in the wireless path as
the obstacles and applications will vary too much. The practical examples given below are
for guidance only. They cannot be directly transferred to other applications.
The bush illustrated below is 2 m wide and has an attenuation of approximately 15 dB for
2.4 GHz. For 868 MHz, the attenuation is around 8 dB.
The forest illustrated below consists of dense undergrowth with a trunk diameter of approx-
imately 5 to 20 cm. In our test, the 2.4 GHz wireless signal was transmitted through a 25 m
forest. The attenuation was around 40 dB. For 868 MHz, the attenuation is around 22 dB.
Avoid contact between the antennas of two wireless modules, otherwise the receiver
might become overloaded.
Ground loops are caused by grounding of the antenna via the antenna fixing unit,
grounding of the power supply, or grounding of the serial interface. To avoid ground
loops, connect these components to a single ground point.
For more information on the RSSI voltage, please refer to Table 5-7 and Table 5-8.

With an RS-232 interface, you can use the loopback test to check the data path from the
master to the slave and back again. To do this, you need to short-circuit two terminal points
of the RS-232 interface on the slave wireless module. You can then transmit characters to
the master wireless module using a terminal program (e.g., HyperTerminal). The characters
are echoed back to the terminal program.

A3 PROFIBUS connections
PROFIBUS connections are only possible with 2.4 GHz wireless modules.
System limitations:
A PROFIBUS network must only have one PROFIBUS master at the maximum.
No other PROFIBUS devices must be connected to the local PROFIBUS master.
Deactivate the Test, commissioning, routing function when using a PROFIBUS CPU
as a slave. If this function is activated, the interface becomes an active PROFIBUS de-
vice. Multi-master systems are not permitted.
Observe the following for multi-drop connections: the transmission time increases with
the number of wireless devices. Reduce the PROFIBUS data rate, if necessary.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system and the PCS 7 controllers are very time-
critical. They are therefore not suitable for wireless connections.

A4 Configuration
To connect the wireless module to the PC, use the RAD-CABLE-USB cable (Order No.
2903447).
In step 1 of the wizard, select Point to Point / Star. Confirm with Next.
Follow the software wizard. Specify the number of network devices. Confirm with OK
and Next.
In step 3, select the Serial data network application. Configure the network settings:
RF band
Network ID
Optional: show/hide WLAN channels
Depending on the distance between the wireless modules, you can set the desired data
rate under Network speed/distance relation.
For additional information on the relationship between speed and distance, please refer
to Table 5-4.
Select the PROFIBUS connection profile in step 4. Set the required data rate. Depend-
ing on the distance to be covered, you may need to reduce the serial data rate (wireless
interface 125 kbps or 250 kbps). Confirm with Next.
Due to the increased delay time, PROFIBUS transmission with 16 kbps is not possible.
In step 5, you will see an overview of the settings that have already been made. Check
these settings and confirm with Next.
This setting is shown here using the SIMATIC Manager, Version 5.x, as an example.
The wireless module does not support the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system.
The wireless modules do not modify the PROFIBUS telegram (transparent transmission,
tunneling). They only modify the PROFIBUS cycle time. In the case of an optimum wireless
connection, the wireless modules will cause a delay time of approximately 50 ms, unidirec-
tionally approximately 25 ms.
If the wireless component is connected in series with other components that also cause a
delay time, the delay times must be added together. Please also take into account:
Long cables
Repeaters
Fiber optics
Other wireless components
The additional delay time may be increased in the event of a poor wireless connection. The
connection may be terminated completely. In the event of a poor connection, the wireless
module would not discard PROFIBUS telegrams but repeatedly try to send them.
For the wireless connection, consider the following PROFIBUS situations:
In the PROFIBUS master - minimum delay time of 50 ms
Tslot_Init parameter (maximum wait time for receipt)
In the PROFIBUS master - short interruption of the wireless connection
Retry-Limit parameter (maximum number of connection retries)
In the PROFIBUS slave - permanent interruption of the wireless connection
Response monitoring time (watchdog) parameter
The telegram length depends on the data transmission speed
PROFIBUS
9.6 kbps 19.2 kbps 93.75 kbps 187.5 kbps
Wireless
You have two options for setting the Tslot_Init parameter (maximum wait time for re-
ceipt):
Automatically: Enter the number of repeaters and the cable length under Op-
tions, Cables.
Manually: Directly enter the bus parameters under User-defined, Bus Parame-
ters. In this case, deactivate the automatic calculation, otherwise the sum of auto-
matic and manual entry will be used.
We recommend that you use manual entry:
Entry: Tslot_Init >13000 t_bit
Entry: retry limit >3
Recalculate
Entry: response monitoring time, depending on the application
Under certain circumstances, the Tslot_Init value may need to be larger than 13000 t_bit.
This may be the case, for example, if there is a poor wireless connection or if the compo-
nents are connected in series. The value of 50 ms will increase by factor x.
The Tslot_Init parameter is expressed in t_bit. The maximum value for a Siemens S7 PLC
is 16383 t_bit (S5: 9999 t_bit). The maximum wait time for receipt is therefore
93.75 kbps = 174 ms. In this case, the value 13000 t_bit is the minimum delay time of the
wireless module + reserve.
Start SIMATIC Manager. Open your user project. Select Options, Configure Net-
work from the pull-down menu.
In the NetPro window, right-click the PROFIBUS line. Then select Object Properties
from the context menu.
In the Cables tab, deactivate the Take into account the following cable configuration
check box. Confirm with OK.
In the Network Settings tab, select the User-Defined profile and the Bus Parame-
ters option.
The most recently valid bus parameters are shown in the Bus Parameters tab. Enter
the following values:
The value for the Tslot time and the telegram runtime of PROFIBUS depend on your ap-
plication. Start with 13000 t_bit in order to achieve the smallest possible telegram runtime.
Increase the value if bus errors occur.
Calculating the bus parameters also modifies the response monitoring (watchdog) val-
ue. Enter 93750 t_bit here to achieve a response monitoring (watchdog) time of
1 second for the PROFIBUS slave. Confirm with OK.
