Product Profile

The ProSoft RLX2-IHNF-E is an industrial frequency hopping Ethernet radio designed for license-free wireless communication in the 900 MHz ISM band. It provides reliable Ethernet bridging for SCADA, remote monitoring, and mobile equipment applications where wired connections are impractical. The radio supports transparent TCP/IP communication, allowing PLCs, RTUs, IP cameras, and other Ethernet devices to connect over long distances without additional protocol conversion.

Built with a rugged metal enclosure and wide operating temperature range, the RLX2-IHNF-E is engineered for demanding industrial environments. It supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and repeater modes, offering flexible network topologies for varied field installations.

System Role

The RLX2-IHNF-E functions as a wireless Ethernet bridge, extending network connectivity to remote locations without cable installation. It operates transparently at the data link layer, allowing any Ethernet-based protocol to pass through without modification. The radio can serve as a master, repeater, or remote station in a ProSoft RLX2 wireless network.

Compatibility

• Compatible with all ProSoft RLX2 series radios.
• Supports standard Ethernet protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and TCP/IP.
• Works with any Ethernet-enabled PLC, RTU, HMI, or IP device.
• Configuration via ProSoft Wireless Designer software.

Typical Applications

• SCADA communication for water and wastewater utilities.
• Remote monitoring of wellheads, tanks, and pumping stations.
• Wireless connectivity for cranes, conveyors, and mobile equipment.
• Temporary network deployment for construction or emergency response.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What frequency band does the RLX2-IHNF-E use?
The RLX2-IHNF-E operates in the 902-928 MHz ISM band, which is license-free in most regions.
2. Is a license required to operate the RLX2-IHNF-E?
No, it operates in the license-free ISM band. However, local antenna and power regulations should be observed.
3. What is the maximum communication range?
With a high-gain directional antenna and clear line of sight, the range can reach up to 5 kilometers.
4. Can the RLX2-IHNF-E be used with non-ProSoft radios?
It is designed to operate within a ProSoft RLX2 wireless network and may not be compatible with third-party radio systems.
5. Does the radio support serial communication?
Yes, it includes an RS-232/485 serial port for connecting legacy serial devices alongside Ethernet.
