(Awaiting FCC approval)

extended temperature,long-range, 802.11g/b wireless Ethernet modem

Data-Linc Group's FLC820G stand-alone wireless Ethernet 802.11b/g modem adds extended range and support for multiple field devices to the FastLinc Family

FastLinc 802.11b/g FLC820G Features

Wirelessly connects Ethernet devices at high speeds

Communicates up to 10 miles (17 km) with unobstructed line-of-sight

Optional RF amplifier enables long runs of antenna coax cable to aid line-of-sight antenna installation

Complies with IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b standards for Wi-Fi compatibility

Supports Access Point, Access Point with Repeater, and Station Adapter modes for flexible network design

Access Point with Repeater mode eliminates AP cable installation and extends range with mesh networking

Ensures high level of security using WPA-PSK data encryption and authentication

Rugged compact steel enclosure and extended operating temperature ensures reliable operation in harsh environments

Supports 10 to 30 VDC power and power over Ethernet using an optional power injector

The FastLinc^TM Family of IEEE 802.11 Industrial wireless Ethernet Modems offers three distinct models— the stand-alone Ethernet FLC810E+ and FLC820G and the PCMCIA card FLC800C+ for single device or multiple device capabilitiees. FastLinc FLC modems provide high-speed, secure wireless communications using 2.4 GHz direct sequence technology. Wih an output power much higher than commercial 802.11 b/g products and with a rugged design, the FastLinc Family is ideal for industrial SCADA and factory automation systems.

The FastLinc FLC820G offers high speed communications (up to 54 Mbps^*) and flexible networking architectures using the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standards. With its high speed capability and industrial grade design, the FLC820G is ideal for demanding applications such as wireless Ethernet I/O, PLC communications, remote video and HMI/OPC server applications.

The FLC820G includes Station Adapter, Access Point, and Access Point with Repeater modes. Access Point with Repeater mode eliminates the need to install Ethernet cable to each access point and extends range by creating a wireless mesh network. Rated at a range up to 10 miles (17 km) with unobstructed line-of-sight (farther using additional FLC820Gs in AP With Repeating mode), the FLC820G is ideal for wireless Ethernet communications in challenging industrial environments. When extended lengths of coaxial cable are required, communication can still meet ranges up to 10 miles by using an amplifier at the Master location that boosts RF power to 1 Watt.

The FLC820G that has the ability to connect multiple Ethernet devices in Station Adaptor mode and utilizes WPA-PSK encryption and authentication for security, is housed in a sturdy, compact steel enclosure with an optional DIN rail clip for mounting. Designed for harsh environments, the FLC820G has an extended operating temperature of -40 to +70°C and may be powered from 10 to 30 VDC power source (115 VAC power supply included) or may be powered over the Ethernet cable using an optional injector.**

The FLC820G is easy to configure and trouble shoot using a web browser to access an internal web server or the software configuration utility that is included. Like all Data-Linc products, the FastLinc 820G provides field proven performance and come with industrial grade support that includes pre-sale project consultation, post-sale tech assistance with PLC expertise and site survey planning as part of the Data-Linc Group commitment.
