Description
RF END-Node & HUB-Node Wireless system for sub-metering applications
- Function
- The Socomec RF system is designed to replace Ethernet LAN network infrastructure and Modbus RS485 multi-drop wiring runs with a secure local wireless network
- The RF system has been designed to be networked from different locations throughout a facility or campus environment
- The RF END-Node has an RS485 input to connect to any Modbus device that needs wireless communication, while the RF HUB-Node converts the wireless communication into an RS485 or Ethernet bus, making compatibility and integration seamless with all EMS/BMS systems
- Easy installation
- The Socomec RF system is designed to improve installation safety and reduce overall installation time
- Wireless RS485 network saves both time and money eliminating costly wire runs
- The RF END-Node is self-powered by the DIRIS MCM meter and can be mounted directly on top of it
- (1) RF HUB-Node can support up to (8) Modbus devices on a network
- Easy commissioning
- Configuration with a simple and intuitive PC application (RF-View) via a direct USB connection to RF HUB-Node
- Visual signal strength feature guarantees optimal device placement for maximum network coverage
- (1) RF HUB-Node can support up to (8) different Modbus devices on one network
- Rugged industrial design
- Aluminum body case
- Extendable and multi-position antenna provides unlimited mounting options and avoids communication losses
- Easy-access LED status lights
- RF Encryption ensures data confidentiality
- Programmable / Customizable
- Equipped with an automatic communication retry feature to ensure no data packets go missing
- PreFetch zone improves data reliability and response time to Modbus Host
- Assign one RF END-Node to a specific Modbus address
- Using Test utility allows user to see data results while both on and off site
- General Characteristics
- Behaves as a virtual (wireless) RS485 serial network
- Modbus RTU and TCP communication
- Wireless 915 MHz encrypted
- RF END-Node is directly powered from the DIRIS MCM power meter
