DATA-LINC’s Wireless I/O Solutions…
> Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology > The most robust, reliable license-free wireless technology > Ideal for noisy, “band crowded” industrial environments
> Broad choices to meet customer financial, installation and application needs
> Frequency – License-free 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz ISM bands > Product options – Long-range and lower-range/lower-price product families > Simple connectivity –Unique wireless protocol to I/O interface > Flexible network architecture
- Long-range (CIX Family), shorter-range (PLR Family) or a hybrid topology - Ethernet and serial to I/O connectivity and wired I/O expander for additional I/O points

CIX-PLR-I/O Advantages
> Versatile and cost-effective > For I/O-protocol communication without extra equipment > For applications not requiring remote PLC intelligence > When devices a lack protocol communication port > When end devices don’t have a communication port
> i.e., when interfacing with 3rd party devices > Simplicity— a straight forward solution
> Lower cost > Less equipment > Faster installation > Lower maintenance, skills, tools

Protocol to I/O Network
> Components > Master Station – radio with Ethernet and serial ports > Remote Station/s – radio modems with I/O terminals
> Functionality – The protocol Master converts the I/O data from the Remote site
> Ethernet and serial connectivity > I/O data transfer
> Rockwell PLC Compatibility – Ethernet/IP, DF-1
7
Protocol to I/O Radios
> One Master supports > Up to 16 Remote I/O modules > Up to 384 I/O points
> Each Remote modem holds up to 24 signals > 8 digital inputs > 8 digital outputs > 4 analog inputs > 4 analog outputs

FHSS Latency & the PLCs
High-speed 10/100Mbps
150Kbps (FHSS)
> Latency from FHSS does not effect devices connected to the Master
> Master performs like a gateway

How Data Is Accessed
> Applies to both DF-1 and Ethernet/IP
> Each Remote has an “N” file assigned to it
> One MSG Read and one MSG Write instruction per Remote
11
Comm Failure Indicators
> CIX/PLR6430 (Remote) > Both digital and analog outputs can be individually pre-
configured to a specified state in the event that a communication failure with the Master occurs
> Besides protecting the process, a spare output can provide local indication of the failure
> CIX/PLR6435 (Master) > There is a status bit for each Remote > Conveniently located in the same word that contains the
digital inputs for a specified Remote — No additional read command is required

Part Numbers – Range/Price
CIX (Communication Interface I/O EXtenders) Protocol Master CIX6x35 and I/O Remote CIX6x30 Long-range, rated 25+ miles for 900 MHz
PLR (PlantLinc Lower Range) Protocol Master PLR6x35 and I/O Remote PLR6x30 Rated range for 900 MHz up to 5 miles
CIXs with PLRs form a hybrid network Offers the best cost-benefit Requires CIX Master radio Easy setup using the same configuration tools
14
Topology – CIX-PLR Hybrid Range Network
> Hybrid range capability > Unique cost-benefit advantage
(CIX Master required)
> Easy setup > Only one configuration tool > No extra conversion equipment

Part Numbers – License-free ISM Band
> License-free 900MHz Long-range & Lower-power-lower-range > CIX6435 / PLR6435: Protocol Master radio > CIX6430 / PLR6430: Remote radio with I/O terminals
> License-free 2.4GMHz Long-range & Lower-power-lower-range > CIX6535 / PLR6535: Protocol Master radio > CIX6530 / PLR6530: Remote radio with I/O terminals
> CIX/EXR: wire I/O expansion unit For both CIX and PLR I/O Remote wireless modems
16
CIX/EXR – Wired Expansion Module
> Hardwire to wireless I/O Remote to expand the I/O points at a node/location
> Low-cost way to add more I/O points to a location – cost is 1/3 of the wireless modem
> Included as one of the 16 Remotes supported by one Master (384 I/O points)
