Description
The MXLink RT industrial real-time series is designed for low-latency industrial control links in demanding environments. It carries industrial Ethernet traffic transparently without application-layer protocol conversion or changes to the existing control architecture.
The RT6000 Fix combines hardware acceleration, dual-link redundancy, scheduled wireless transmission, PLC cycle learning and edge buffering. It is intended for industrial communication configured at a 4 ms cycle; site performance depends on the actual topology and radio conditions.
Features
- For industrial communication configured at 4 ms cycles
- Dual-link duplicate transmission and receive-side selection
- PLC packet-cycle learning and scheduled transmission
- Time-slot scheduling improves timing control
- Protocol optimization and edge buffering reduce jitter
- IP68 protection; -40 to +70 C operating range
- Gigabit access and 48 V PoE++ power input
