The Wireless Series
Wireless Signal Links for Process Signals
The Wilcoxon Research, Inc., BlueLynx
product series takes the place of wired process signalconnections. The BlueLynx
modules are available in a variety of configurations for a widerange of process signals. Wilcoxon Research BlueLynx
wireless products include 100 meterrange, Class I Bluetooth
wireless products technology for industrial applications. The Bluetooth
technologyplatform utilizes a frequency hopping spread spectrum technique within the 2.4 GHz ISM band
for a user license free application. Bluetooth
incorporates a secure packet message structurein addition to the frequency hopping spread spectrum technology to provide signal security.With the BlueLynx
wirelesssensor links are offered as
a transmitter/receiver pair
and come factory
programmed, calibrated
and tested as a set. No field
programming is required.
Each set is given a unique
address so that multiple
BlueLynx
modular approach, the combination of modules can be tailored to theapplication signal requirements. Each BlueLynx
module type handles a specific process signaltype. Modules are available to transmit 4-20 mA signals, thermocouple/RTD temperature
signals,
industrial accelerometer dynamic signals, pulse/tachometer signals, and status signals. The units
are designed to interface directly to the sensors at the transmit side and interface to the process
control/data
acquisition equipment at the receive side.The packaging is modular and designed for mounting on standard DIN rail. Connections to theunits are by plug-in screw
terminal blocks. The BlueLynx
modules operate on 24 VDC powerconsistent with
industrial instrumentation installations. The BlueLynx
sets can operatesimultaneously in the same
area without interference.
modules are available for individualpurchase or with power supply, NEMA 4X, and antenna extension accessories. BLM Wireless Signal Link for 4-20 mA Signals The BlueLynx
BLM transmitter collects analog signals from up to four 4-20 mA sensorsand transmits the signals wirelessly to the BlueLynx
BLM receiver wired toinstrumentation, a
PLC, DCS or other systems. BLD Wireless Signal Link for Dynamic Signals The BlueLynx
BLD transmitter transmits the analog dynamic signal from a singlesensor and transmits the signal wirelessly to the BlueLynx
BLD receiver wired toinstrumentation or
Vibration analysis Systems. BLT- Wireless Signal Link for Temperature Signals BLP Wireless Signal Link for Pulse Signals The BlueLynx
BLT transmitter transmits the analog temperature from types E, J, K or Tthermocouples or from 100 ohm RTD sensors. Four temperature signals can be
transmitted by a BLT transmitter. Temperature signals are received by a BLM receiver
wired to instrumentation, a PLC, DCS or other system. Conversion from low level
temperature sensor signal to 4-20 milliAmp signal is performed within the wireless link. The BlueLynx
BLP transmitter transmits the analog pulse signals from up to foursensors and transmits the signals wirelessly to the BlueLynx
BLP receiver wired toinstrumentation, a PLC, DCS or other systems. BLS Wireless Signal Link for Status Signals The BlueLynx
BLS transmitter transmits the on/off status signals from up to twelvedevices and transmits the signals wirelessly to the BlueLynx
BLS receiver wired toinstrumentation, a PLC, DCS or other systems.
