Phoenix Contact Radioline Wired Multiplexer


Phoenix Contact's RAD-RS485-IFS head station enables multipoint I/O multiplexing or Modbus RTU bus coupler operation over a dedicated wired network using Radioline platform I/O. The small form factor, hardened I/O, and the hot-swap functionality make this platform ideal for harsh environments that may not be suited for Inline systems.

In addition, the RAD-RS485-IFS is easy to configure for multipoint I/O mapping using the same method as the wireless Radioline products. No software is required for simple setups, and it uses PSI-Conf software for diagnostics or advanced setups.

FEATURES
  • Easy setup via thumbwheels -- no software required
  • Advanced setup and diagnostics available using PSI-CONF software
  • Multiplex up to 99 stations over a wired RS-485 network
  • Radioline platform compatibility

TECHNICAL DATA
  • Extended temperature (-40° to 70°C)
  • Isolated, hot-swappable, modular I/O
  • Hazardous location approvals, including ATEX, IECEx and Class I, Division 2

APPLICATIONS
  • Process monitoring and control for level, temperature, and flow
  • Consolidation of remote I/O signals
  • Simple I/O replacement
