LNK-XT Network Extender Peripheral Device
Works as signal booster and allows a longer distance between devices. Ideal for large applications to create an efficient distribution network of specialized gas detection devices that can communicate over large distances.
- Extends transmission range of the Modbus® network
- Boosts communication signal strength
- Power LED indicator
- Modbus® RS-485 RTU communication
Description
The LNK-XT Network Extender peripheral device works as a signal booster allowing transmission and receipt of gas readings over a larger total area. It extends the range of the Modbus® communication network allowing a longer distance between the FCS Multi System Controller and the gas detectors. The micro controller quickly passes Modbus information packets from the master side of the LNK-XT to the extension side, seamlessly without interruption.
Multiple LNK-XT peripheral devices may be required depending on the size of the application. An LNK-XT is recommended every 2000 ft, approximately every 32 transmitters. Ideal for large applications to create an efficient distribution network of specialized gas detection devices that can communicate over large distances.
