Description
The MXLink RT industrial real-time series addresses low-latency wireless links for PLC control and other industrial equipment. It transports industrial Ethernet protocols transparently without application-layer conversion or a change to the control architecture.
The RT6000RT combines dual-link redundancy, TDD time-slot scheduling, PLC cycle learning and edge buffering for communication configured at 4 ms cycles. Its IP41 metal DIN-rail enclosure, DC 12V supply, two Gigabit RJ45 ports and external SMA connectors suit protected industrial cabinets.
