Wireless PACs and I/O in Industrial Automation
Support for Multiple Wireless and Security
Standards
Opto 22’s controllers and brains support 802.11a, b, and g, in both
ad hoc and infrastructure modes. Engineers can use the higher
frequency 802.11a standard at 5 GHz to avoid interference; they can
use the faster 802.11g standard if that provides better performance.
Engineers can also use WPA2/AES algorithms for secure transmissions
in infrastructure mode or, if need be, use WEP or WPA for backwards
compatibility. All three standards are supported by Opto 22’s
controllers and brains.
Conclusion
Opto 22’s wireless solution is currently unique in the industry in
addressing several concerns automation engineers have about
wireless I/O. With Opto 22’s wireless controllers and I/O:

Wireless system security can use the latest standards set by
government and industry.
System performance and reliability are maximized by broad
support for wireless standards, giving engineers choices in how to
implement system design for the best results.
The company’s complete line of analog, digital, and serial
SNAP I/O modules is available for wireless use. No extra
accessories are required for wireless, and the same spares are
stocked for both wired and wireless portions of the system.
The choice of a wired or wireless network can be made or
changed at any time during the project, because the same
hardware can switch between wired and wireless
communication—or do both.

More About Opto 22
Opto 22 was started in 1974 by a co-inventor of the solid-state relay
(SSR), who discovered a way to make SSRs more reliable. In the late
1970s the company developed the red-white-yellow-black color-
coding system for input/output (I/O) modules, which is still a standard
in the industry. As one of the original developers of the OPC
interoperability standard, Opto 22 has consistently built products on
open standards rather than on proprietary technologies.
The company first entered the wireless field in early 2000, when it
became the first automation vendor to launch a wireless LAN I/O
product. Two years later the company partnered with wireless leaders
Nokia, AT&T Wireless, and Kyocera to deliver wireless remote
monitoring and data acquisition solutions to manufacturers.
The company is probably best known for its high-quality SSRs and I/O.
Quality is built into Opto 22 products: products are made in the U.S.A.,
and every I/O module is tested twice before leaving the factory in
Temecula, California. The company does no statistical testing. Because
the company builds and tests its own products, Opto 22 guarantees all
solid-state SNAP I/O modules for life. Product support for all products
is free.
