SureCross wireless network

The SureCross network is an all-in-one packaged wireless solution with plug-and-play functionality. It consists of at least one gateway controller and one or more remotely located nodes, which can be connected to both digital and analog I/O points. Depending on the configuration, each gateway can support up to 15 nodes and each node can accommodate up to 12 I/O points. SureCross offers bidirectional Rx/Tx communications with reliable performance capabilities that provide monitoring and control in processing applications. This feature protects information during communication interruption or failure by reverting to a configureddefault output condition; the network automatically returns to normal operational status when the radio frequency (RF) link is re-established. Multiple SureCross networks can coexist in close proximity, and the network integrates seamlessly with existing process or control networks. The network employs frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) communication, which establishes integrity by verifying bidirectional transceivers in each device to fully acknowledge data transmission. Time-division multiple-access (TDMA) slots guarantee bandwidth to each node, while polling and site survey capabilities ensure communication integrity, either at the gateway or locally at each device, by means of an integrated display. SureCross is available in both 900-MHz and 2.4-GHz models, allowing deployment of advanced wireless capabilities anywhere in the world.
