PDW30 Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation

The Precision Digital PDW30 gives you a simple, straightforward way to get an Analog, discrete, or Modbus signal from where you have it to where you need it.

It’s a point-to-point wireless bridge packaged in a rugged, weather tight housing designed to meet the demands of industrial installations. 

The PDW30 starts with an Analog, discrete, or Modbus® input and wirelessly broadcasts it to a second PDW30 unit. The second unit then recreates that signal at its location. 

Just put the units in the field anywhere you have 12-24 Vdc power.
