requirements. Expansion Modules can be connected directly to
the NETio via a fully integrated power/communication backplane
connector or they can be located up to 3,000 feet away and wirelessly
connect to NETio over WeXP. Expansion Modules are available in
6 different configurations and deliver connectivity for up to 128 I/O
signals at any one location.
cost effective accessories that are tested to perform at optimal levels
and maintain product warranties. GE MDS offers both standard
and custom packages for wireless applications in harsh industrial
environments. We simplify your wireless systems design by providing
a convenient single-source ordering process. From antennas for the
NETio (900 MHz and 2.4 GHz) to field-rated power supplies for your
mission critical application, GE MDS can help ensure your system is
robust and future-proof.
via TCP, or utilize IP/Ethernet on your SCADA network and other appli-
cations, NETio uses an access point for maximum performance. The
NETio access point provides long range, peer-to-peer, secure wireless
IP/Ethernet and serial communication plus network-wide configuration
from a single location. The access point also allows you to mix modes
of communication and multiple protocols on the same network.
Ethernet and serial communication. Each NETio has built-in connec-
tions for one analog input, one analog output, two digital inputs and
two digital outputs. Each NETio can be configured for multiple operat-
ing modes including I/O extension for regenerating I/O signals between
devices, protocol addressability for interfacing I/O using industry-
standard protocols (e.g., Modbus-TCP), and SCADA communications to
remote RTUs and PLCs using IP/Ethernet and a NETio Access Point.
