APG - Model Series TMW -Tank Mesh Wireless Communication
Tank Mesh Wireless Communication is APG’s customizable and scalable telemetry solution. Built using 900 MHz radios, Tank Mesh Wireless Communication components can transmit signals from analog or digital sensors for integration into a Modbus RTU network and connect to the Ethernet via Modbus TCP/IP.
Rugged Construction
Sentinels and stick transceivers are designed and built for outdoor installation.
Hazardous Location Approvals
Sentinels and stick transceivers carry Non-Incendive or Intrinsically Safe CSA approvals.
Easy to Install
Tank Mesh Wireless Communication integrates easily with your existing RS-485 Modbus network, and can incorporate analog sensors. Sentinels and stick transceivers are self configuring for star or mesh networks.
Extended Rnage
Sentinels can communicate up to 0.5 miles, and stick transceivers can communicate up to 3 - 4 miles.
Built on 900 MHz radios, Tank Mesh Wireless Communication allows you to extend your Modbus network without exhausting your budget.
