This product is an Ethernet gateway that converts Ethernet into wireless in the Sub-1GHz band*1.
Data from the Wireless I/O series terminal (Slave) can be sent to a PC via Ethernet, or received data from PC can be sent via Ethernet.
With strength against obstacles, the long-distance communications enabled by wireless Sub-1GHz band, and multi-hop support, it is suitable to control or monitor devices that are spread in the wide area.
By using a driver library appropriate to the setting terminal, applications can be created with API functions that support programming languages.
This product also supports Modbus TCP Slave, which makes it possible to control devices and collect data from the higher communication devices containing Modbus Master function.
* This product should always be used along with the Wireless I/O series terminal (Slave).
* Driver library can be downloaded from the CONTEC website.
* The GW1-ETH-WQ-US can be used in the United States.
*1 Sub-1GHz band indicates frequency bands of 1GHz and below. Available frequency band of the product depends on the model. The GW1-ETH-WQ- EU can be used in the 863 - 870MHz band (Europe), and the GW1-ETH-WQ-US can be used in the 902 - 928MHz band (North America).
Supports Sub-1GHz band wireless with excellent transmission distance
This product converts Ethernet (wired LAN) communication into Sub-1GHz band wireless communication.
The Sub-1GHz band, with the good wraparound characteristics of radio waves, the transmission distance (about 1 km) can be extended even there are obstacles. Stable communication can be achieved even in the environment where radio waves are mixed.
