TReX PLC - Automation I/O Messaging Transceiver

TReX-PLC AUTOMATION I/O MESSAGING TRANSCEIVER

The TReX PLC is an Ethernet high power data transceiver with inbuilt wireless programmable logic controller for general automation, telemetry and radio messaging. TReX series transceivers are secure, high speed, long range wireless UHF data radios built to endure the stresses of daily use in harsh conditions that will keep you working with complete confidence, saving you time and money.

RADIO OPTIMISED SCADA PLC
The TReX can simplify your systems with high power radio, PLC, IO and direct urgent messaging all in one unit. Automate your own solution, monitor and configure on-site with standard ladder logic without the need of an external PC - or use Wireless Technologies' PLC development and simulation software. The TReX PLC allows messaging and output control using timers, counters, inputs and outputs. Allows controlling of outputs or transmitting of messages under user program control.
