Product Details

The ProSoft RLXIB-IHA-A is a legacy RadioLinx 802.11a high-power industrial hotspot operating on the 5GHz frequency band, designed for long-range wireless Ethernet communication in industrial control and SCADA systems. It supports up to 54 Mbps data rate with OFDM modulation, which delivers strong anti-interference performance against 2.4GHz crowded signal environments. This radio can be configured as access point, wireless bridge or repeater to build point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless networks, and it supports serial encapsulation function to transmit serial data over Ethernet wireless link. It adopts up to 250mW transmit power for extended communication distance, and supports 802.3af PoE power supply for convenient field wiring. It supports IGMP snooping, VLAN and QoS functions to optimize real-time industrial traffic such as EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP. The built-in diagnostic function supports OPC server status monitoring, and engineers can check signal strength, packet loss and communication fault information through IH Browser configuration tool. The wireless transmission works independently, so it will not occupy the PLC scan cycle or affect the original control logic. This model is discontinued and only provided as spare parts for old automation wireless transformation projects.

This radio uses rugged metal housing and DIN rail mounting. It is equipped with shielded RJ45 Ethernet port, RS232 debug port and RP-SMA antenna connector. LED indicators display power status, Ethernet link and wireless communication activity for fast on-site troubleshooting. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 75°C, storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C, relative humidity 5% to 95% non-condensing. It has obtained cULus Class I Division 2, FCC and CE certifications, meets industrial shock, vibration and EMC standards for surge and electrostatic interference. It supports configuration backup and firmware upgrade for long-term field maintenance.

This 5GHz 802.11a industrial hotspot is widely used in water treatment remote stations, oil and gas wellhead monitoring, factory production line control, port crane and outdoor SCADA wireless communication projects. It avoids the frequency interference of 2.4GHz band and provides stable long-distance wireless data transmission for industrial controllers and field instruments. As a discontinued industrial wireless spare part, the RLXIB-IHA-A maintains reliable 5GHz wireless connection, retains the original control system and reduces the renovation cost of industrial wireless network integration.
