In-Chassis High Speed Wireless Communication Module

MVI69-WA-PWP

The In-Chassis Wireless Communication Module creates a powerful wireless connection between devices located remotely, and the CompactLogix processor. The efficient but powerful PWP protocol allows data exchange in one-to-one or one-to-many wireless scenarios.

Features and Benefits

ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) offers versatility where a mix of control devices requires cooperation with each other. This involves sharing of information across the applications regardless of device or network type, often at high speed. Wireless bandwidth utilization is optimized by using efficient communication methods. The protocol supports Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast group messaging. The protocol is efficient because each device on the wireless network can produce these types of messages and each device determines which of these messages to consume.

Applications

The inRAx series of wireless products provides users more flexibility than ever before seen in wireless solutions. Use the MVI69-WA-PWP module to connect various field devices using different networks or protocols, and share data between these devices "over-the-air." This is accomplished by exchanging shared common database information wirelessly with ProSoft Technology's efficient but powerful wireless protocol, PWP.
