TReX PLC - Automation I/O Messaging Transceiver

TReX-PLC AUTOMATION I/O MESSAGING TRANSCEIVER RTU

The TReX PLC is an Ethernet high power data transceiver RTU with inbuilt wireless programmable logic controller for general automation, telemetry and radio messaging. TReX series transceivers feature military grade AES-256 encryption on radio links - giving the confidence that your data and systems remain safe.
The TReX-PLC can be purchased without any radio functionality if required, allowing low cost PLC applications with serial and secure Ethernet connectivity for cloud based automation.

RADIO OPTIMISED SCADA PLC RTU
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.
