<strong>Messenger</strong> SeriesReliable SCADACommunicationsProduct Data SheetNew!<strong>Messenger</strong> <strong>900FS</strong> <strong>Spread</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> <strong>Radio</strong>High performance, Encrypted, License Free Wireless Data Communications Reliable wireless communications for industrial SCADA systems Point-to-point and Point-to-Multipoint operation High penetration 900MHz operation: outdoor range up to 20+ miles as well as in-plant applications 1 watt unlicensed spread spectrum radio, 100% compatible with Freewave FGR & FGR2 radios Secure AES-128 encrypted communications Store & Forward Repeater operation to extend radio range RS-232 and USB Communications Interfaces Allen-Bradley (DF1), Modicon (Modbus) and Harris (DNP3) protocol support Low-power and smart power management for solar/battery backed applications Separate diagnostic port for network-wide radio management 10Vdc to 30Vdc DC power Compact DIN Rail Mounting Wide operating Temperature Range: -40 o C to +70 o C 3-year factory warranty on parts and laborSecure Serial Data <strong>Radio</strong>License-free WirelessCommunications – <strong>Messenger</strong> <strong>900FS</strong>radios operate in the 900MHz licensefreeISM band, providing plug-and-playsimplicity with extreme data integrity. Byautomatically hopping among up to 112different frequencies, the radios avoidand reject interference from otherwireless devices as well as spuriousman-made and natural noise sources.High Security Data Encryption -<strong>Messenger</strong> series radios encrypt allmessages sent over the air. The AESencryption used is the same technologyused for banking, national security andother critical applications. Built-in dataencryption and decryption ensures thatyour data is kept out of unauthorizedhands, yet the radios are easy to usesince encryption is transparent to thesending and receiving equipment.Supported by most PLCs, RTUs &HMIs <strong>Messenger</strong> series radios can beused with nearly any industrial controldevice with a standard serial port. Nomodem control signals are used andmessages are transferred in errorcheckedpackets, compatible withstandard protocols including Modbus,DF1 and DNP3.Copyright 2010 <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Links</strong>, Inc. All Rights ReservedNetwork Management & Diagnostics -<strong>Messenger</strong> <strong>900FS</strong> radios have aseparate port for live management ofany radio in the network, as well as localdiagnostics. This feature can be usedsimultaneous with normal dataoperation.Integral Repeater Functionality – Any<strong>Messenger</strong> <strong>900FS</strong> radios can also serveas repeaters, effectively extending therange of your wireless network when areliable point-to-point link cannot beestablished.Specifications subject to change.LevelPumpCallsPumpFailsPumpCallsRemoteWellsUSB and RS-232 Interfaces–<strong>Messenger</strong> Series radios offer twocommunications interfaces to simplifyconnection into nearly any system; RS-232 for use in legacy configurations, andUSB for more modern systems and PCcomputers. When RS-232 is used forthe data port, USB is used for thediagnostics port; and vice-versa.Rugged Reliability – <strong>Messenger</strong><strong>900FS</strong> radios are 100% tested over anextended temperature range of -40 C to70 C, and backed by an industry leading3-year factory parts and labor warranty.PumpFails<strong>Messenger</strong><strong>Radio</strong>PLCA typical SCADASystem with a<strong>Messenger</strong> 900XSradio connecting aPLC to a wirelessnetwork to accesswireless I/O.
