Product at a glance
At the heart of any Accutech™ wireless instrument
network is the wireless base radio. The Accutech BR20
and BR21 base radios automatically communicate with
deployed instrumentation field units attached to them in a
local area star network and make the field data available
to an existing control system through a local serial or
Ethernet Modbus™ interface interface. An optional
integrated long-haul data radio, for links to centralized
data collection sites, is available.
