Wireless Modbus Gateway
AirGate is a great solution if the RS485 network requires wireless connectivity. For example, where it is not feasible to route wires over long distances or through inaccessible areas. It can be used to rapidly expand an existing RS485 network.
AirGate can be considered a Universal device, it is not restricted to Novus Automation products and can be used with any RS485 device communicating via Modbus. Please note two or more AirGate devices are required to create the network.
As an extender of the Modbus RS485 network it offers flexibility and scalability for the various networks inside facilities. It has long range wireless communication, reaching up to 3200 feet (1000m).
Operating through own NOVUS-Air wireless network protocol (802.15.4), AirGate-Modbus is independent from the IT customer infrastructure.
The communication has secure data traffic, ensured by 128-bit encryption, and uses available frequency bands of less interference, providing stability and reliability in the communication link. Easy installation, configuration and diagnostics make the AirGate-Modbus an outstanding product for field commissioning.
