Wireless Transceiver with
Modbus Interface
The OMWT-XREC-MOD Wireless Transceiver uses
an embedded 100-milliwatt frequency hopping
wireless modem that provides communication
between a local RS-485 network and a remote
network of RS-485 connected devices. The OMWTXREC-MOD will automatically sense the direction of
data flow and switch the RS-485 and radio devices
accordingly. The OMWT-XREC-MOD can be placed
in a network of RS-485 devices and appear as a
slave repeater of remote RS-485 devices or it can be
placed in a network of one or many RS-485 slaves
and act as the RS-485 repeater of a remote master.
The radio operates within the 900 MHz ISM Band
under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and regulations.
The OMWT-XREC-MOD operates at 19200 Baud
at either odd parity or no parity. Dip switches select
parity and one of 7 radio networks. Radios operating
together must have the same radio network address
(1-7 set by switches labeled A0-A2). Select a different
radio network address to prevent interference from
nearby networks that are not sharing information.
The default radio network for roof-top applications is
5. The user may choose another network address
(1-7) if desired. While all radios in a network must
have the same network address they do not have to
have the same parity; the parity is local to the RS-485
serial port on the OMWT-XREC-MOD only. Parity
information is not transmitted or received.
Radio network selection 0 (A0, A1, A2 all set to 0)
selects a special network setup. When network
address setting 0 is selected the pre-programmed
radio network parameters are used; these parameters
are user and application specific and must be set at
the factory for specific applications.
The OMWT-XREC-MOD can also be used as a
general purpose RS-485 half duplex radio interface
operating at 19200 baud at either odd or no parity
(dip switch selectable).
The OMWT-XREC-MOD is supplied standard with
a 1/2 wave monopole antenna. For longer distance
outdoor use, optional Omni-Directional and YAGI
directional line-of-site antennas are available.
