Description
The model NETRIS®3 IIoT-capable WIKA radio unit is used wherever centralised, web-based, remote monitoring of measuring instrument data is required.
The Ex radio unit already receives the data digitally from a WIKA measuring instrument via the intrinsically safe interface. The fully encapsulated instrument with IP65 ingress protection transmits the received data continuously to a cloud via configurable data packets with LoRaWAN®.
Battery-operated radio transmission via LoRa® (“long range”) is based on LPWAN technology (“low power wide area network”) to enable high transmission ranges and long battery life.
The radio unit is connected to a suitable WIKA measuring instrument via the attached plug connector (M12 or angular connector). The exchange of the radio unit within the ATEX zone during operation is also possible.
The simple web configuration via the cloud and the LoRaWAN® network (“long range wide area network”) enables the complete end-to-end encryption with bidirectional communication for safe IIoT applications.
The WIKA radio unit NETRIS®3 is part of the WIKA IIoT solution. With this, WIKA offers a holistic solution for your digitalisation strategy.
