Hello guys,
I want to establish a wireless means of communication in a very harsh & rugged environment,
could you suggest any cost effective & reliable solution for it.
I am also not getting network connectivity so that I could have gsm/gprs module in plc.
Also the requirement is such we need omni-directional router, it should not be LOS and have
relay based output compatible with 24VDC supply.
I have searched following transmitters listed below, please suggest if any other device is
compatible:
The above devices are quite expensive please suggest any other alternative.
The below device was perfect to the requirements but has LOS of 110 m.
This is an Ethernet-based wired or wireless IoT device, which integrated with IoT data
acquisition, processing, and publishing functions.
[Wireless%20IoT%20Sensing%20Devices]
Except for various I/O type offering, this
provides data pre-scaling, data logic, and data logger functions. These data can be access
via mobile devices and be published to cloud with security in anytime and anywhere.
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture style widely used for
creating scalabl…
Then I thought of installing Xbee, but has range of 100m only & alsoit is not rugged please
suggest any module compatible for wireless transmission.

Are you sure because i am not getting any mobile connectivity there, & the application requires
continuous connection.

I have searched RF modules but TTL compatible devices require rs485 to rs232 converts,
increasing hardware components would detotriate ruggedness also I need to get smps for
powering RF module. So I want single wireless module might be an iot device or any wireless
transmitter like wise-4000 series. If you get any plz send me model number.

Wireless I/O from Phoenix Contact is the ideal solution for the wireless transfer of digital or
analog I/O signals. The right choice for your I/O communication in process and control
technology.
Your advantages
Reduced installation and maintenance costs by eliminating cables
Mobility for mobile or interchangeable automation components, thanks to wireless I/O
communication
No operating costs for transmission media, thanks to wear-free wireless technology
Quick and easy startup, thanks to user-friendly installation

The device is not designed for use in atmospheres with a danger of dust explosions"
Plz suggest an explotion proof device.

I think its not an issue at all. We all use high voltage devices or control panels in oil and gas
industries (field) with proper enclosure protection or/and with Purge & Pressurization
techniques.

My range is 3km, also truck movements & industrial electromagnetic inferences might
detotriate signals.

Hi,
Contact local vendor, they have many models available within their products range. They will
help you to finalize the model as per your requirement.

I am thinking on using some kind of WiFi device, could you suggest any product. I have found
industrial routers listed below:
1) F-R100

ETC is excited to announce the arrival of our brand new wire replacement system! The Iris
Wireless Bridge provides the ability to use Cyclops plunger arrival sensors in industrial
applications where wire is not an economically viable or easily attainable option. Designed to
replace traditional wire and trenching with plug and play equipment, Iris is a cost-effective,
easy to use system that safely enables up to 2 switches per node to be powered and relayed
back to a panel-mounted gateway up to ½ mile away. Installation is quick and easy; Simply
terminate Cyclops to the Iris Wireless Bridge Plunger Sensor Node and connect the outputs on
the Gateway to any standard control system. To get more out of your Iris Wireless Bridge at a
single well site, connect an additional switch to the second discrete input to wirelessly monitor
pressures or tanks. For use in multi-well applications, connect up to two Cyclops sensors per
Node, or use the Modbus interface with additional nodes to expand the number of linked
devices.
Looking to connect additional devices, or need a wireless solution for another switch or
sensor? The Iris Wireless Bridge comes with a flexible interface to enable a variety of system
configurations and applications. The current state of up to 2 switches and a Modbus device
connected to each node can be read from the gateway using the integrated Modbus Slave
interface, while the Iris Gateway can connect to up to 240 nodes. Additional nodes are
available with a range of sensor interfaces including Analog, HART, Modbus, RTDs and Turbine
Meters.
