FreeWave Technologies’ FGRIO Modbus system, its newest communications protocol, can be powered by an available Solar Power Kit that significantly reduces the set-up time for this radio system. The FreeWave FGRIO Modbus multipoint network enables direct analog and digital wireless connections to all FGRIO functions and eliminates the need for wire between the host and the RTU. The radio provides cost savings for wire replacement and reliable data communications.

FGRIO Modbus master radios support more I/O points of access from up to 246 slave radios. Each slave supports two analog inputs, two digital inputs and two digital outputs on a single network. The system's 20-bit analog conversion ensures accuracy between each slave radio's analog inputs, and its repeater capability efficiently avoids link obstructions between radios.

FreeWave's Solar Power Kit is composed of a 5 W, 12 V solar panel and comes with instructions and all of the necessary hardware. Both the FGRIO Modbus multipoint network system and Solar Power Kit are available for immediate shipment.
