The Precision Digital PDW30 is a point-to-point wireless bridge that is virtually plug-and-play right out of the box. It provides an easy way to transmit an analog, discrete, or Modbus signal from where you have it to where you need it – without running wires.
The PDW30 consists of a primary and a secondary unit, and communication between the two is by-directional. That means you can send 4-20 mA, discrete and Modbus signals from the primary unit to the secondary unit and send completely different 4-20 mA, discrete and Modbus signals from the secondary unit to the primary unit. For example, the primary unit could send a 4-20 mA signal to the secondary unit corresponding to the level in a tank and the secondary unit could send a 4-20 mA signal to the primary unit to control a valve.
The specified range between the primary and secondary unit is 1 mile line-of-sight outdoor and 500 feet indoor. Repeaters are available to extend this range.
Most applications require minimal programming and can be operational in minutes. However, free programming software is available and if touch-ups are needed after installation, the instrument can be programmed without removing the cover using the CapTouch thru-glass buttons.
