Accutech BR10Wireless base radio

At the heart of any Accutech wireless instrument network

is the BR10 wireless base radio. This device automatically

communicates with all deployed instrumentation field units

attached to it in a local area star network and makes the field

data available to an existing control system through a local

serial Modbus interface. A third-party Modbus TCP/IP

converter can also be employed to add Ethernet connectivity.

One base radio can communicate with up to a maximum

100 field units, (40 units on 869MHz version). Multiple base

radios can be used to accommodate additional field units.

With the capability to scale up to as many as 256 wireless

instrumentation LANs, Accutech easily accommodates even

the most aggressive expansion plans.

The product is powered by readily-available 9-38VDC and is

self-contained for use in extreme environments.
