Wire Replacement (Peer-to-Peer Mode)
Replicate any analog or digital signal from a remote location –
wirelessly! Use a pair of Zlinx Wireless I/O modules to read
sensor inputs or control actuators in hard-to-reach locations.
Peer-to-Peer Mode
Inputs and outputs of the paired Zlinx radios will mirror-image
each other, making it easy to add wireless I/O to any
application.

Step 1 • Choose a Wireless Base Module
Based on your wireless distance and your I/O needs, select the
right base for you. Note: each range will only talk to the same
range (i.e. LR will only communicate with LR, etc.).

Seamlessly add wireless I/O to any Modbus application.
Modbus is the most widely supported I/O protocol worldwide
for PLC’s to HMI’s and PC based software applications.
With Zlinx Wireless I/O you can now bring wireless remote I/O
Modbus Mode
into any Modbus system. Simply connect a Zlinx modem to
an RS- 232 or Rs-485 port of the Modbus master and it can
now poll up to 150 wireless I/O nodes - each node can be
configured for 8 to 48 I/O points.
