Elpro 925U-2 - Wireless Mesh Networking & I/O Gateway

868MHz, 8xDI/O, 4xAI, 2xAO

The 925U-2 is an industrial UHF-radio that extends communications to sensors in local, remote, and difficult-to-reach locations. The 869MHz Unlicensed Frequency Hopping wireless transceiver supports over-the-air Ethernet protocols which gives the 925U-2 the power and flexibility to perform reliably in sprawling harsh industrial environments.

Secure AES encryption, advanced IP filtering, multi-level authentication, user access and change event logging features provide the user with the tools to ensure the highest level of data integrity and protection against malicious attacks. Flexible native Ethernet support provides solutions to connectivity challenges today and in the future.

The ELPRO 925U-2 also provides Ethernet and serial gateway support for industrial protocols including Modbus TCP/RTU and DNP3 I/O, MQTT +Sparkplug B. The Condor series 925U-2 ProMesh™ operates reliably with the challenges of obstructed paths by using automatic path selection to allow the communications network to adapt to changes easily with redundancy. Compatability with the legacy 915U-2’s is available with a firmware upgrade.
