A stable wireless environment is established using an original protocol which is not affected by interference. Interference from other wireless equipment is prevented.
Frequency Hopping
The communication technology rapidly changes frequency (hopping), to prevent interference from other wireless equipment. When the frequency of Wi-Fi and other wireless communications compete, or radio wave interference is present, then ther frequencies are used for communication. For details,refer to technical data on WEB Catalog.
■Wireless communication status can be monitored.
The wireless system connection can be monitored during operation according to the diagnostic data.
The installation location can be ascertained according to the intensity level of the radio wave received by the unit display.

* A received radio wave intensity level of 1 means the intensity is weak. Add a wireless master so that the wave intensity becomes level 3 or 2. Alternatively remove the obstacle between the master and slave, or reduce the distance between the master and slave.
By connecting the wireless master to a PC, it is possible to view log files which show the number of retries or the received radio wave intensity. Log files are accessed by using a web browser to connect to the built-in WEB server. The wireless environment and installation location can be optimized by checking the number of retries and received radio wave intensity.

■Application Examples
Tool change
・Communication cable is not necessary for moving parts.
・Minimized disconnection risk
・Shorter time for establishing communication (startup time)
