900 MHz Wireless Gateways
D2 W G
Wireless gateways interface between other Cooper Crouse-Hinds wireless devices and control systems (such as PLC’s, DCS, and SCADA). In addition to channeling the wireless network data into one central control system, they can also act as an eight input/output transceiver.
Applications
- Wirelessly connect PLC’s on a new machine to an existing factory automation system
- Interface different automation systems in different sections of a plant
- Connect protocol devices into a common wireless network
- Cooper Crouse-Hinds wireless units are used to wirelessly transmit signals for PLC’s or DCS

Wireless gateways connect to popular process control and automation databuses, and convert signal information to Cooper Crouse-Hinds’ proven WIB™-net wireless protocol.
Main benefits:
- Wireless extension of factory automation, providing a high security firewall. The wireless gateway connects
to a databus and transfers I/O values to another wireless gateway unit via WIB™-net communications. The other gateway interfaces to its own databus. Multiple
gateway units can communicate in a WIB peer-to-peer network.
- There is an efficient wireless protocol conversion in the modules enabling an efficient transfer of data to Modbus
- Interface between PLC’s, DCS, HMI, or SCADA and Cooper Crouse-Hinds wireless units. The wireless gateway keeps an "image" of the remote wireless network in its memory and interfaces this image to the databus.
- Network wireless units and gateways to connect sensor signals and control systems
