The R-1420 Wireless Gateway manages and connects Cosasco® Wireless devices including , Microcor Wireless Transmitters (MWT's), Quicksand Wireless Transmitter (QWT), Cosasco Wireless Extenders (WE) and other WirelessHART transmitters to a host system through a high security spread spectrum communication network. The gateway is easily configured through a web interface and provides connection to the host system through OPC, Modbus over IP, and Modbus serial interface. The R-1420 Wireless Gateway is ideal for monitoring corrosion systems because of its flexibility and for adding monitoring points that were previously uneconomical.
When used only for Corrosion Management Systems, the gateway serves as a direct connection to RCS’s Intelligent Interface Unit for smaller scale systems and ICMS3™ Integrated Corrosion Management System for medium to large scale systems. The Gateway is scalable supporting up to 100 MWT’s or a combination of MWT’s and other WirelessHART devices. The Wireless Gateway is certified for Class I, Div2, Zone 2.
The Wireless Gateway provides industry leading security, scalability, and data reliability. Layered security ensures that the network stays protected. Additional MWT’s or other WirelessHART devices can be added at anytime. There is no need to configure communication paths because the Gateway manages the network automatically. This feature also ensures that WirelessHART field devices have the most reliable path to send data.
