"We are honored to have our IO Expansion Module solution recognized in the prestigious Plant Engineering Magazine Product of the Year Awards program," said Ashish Sharma, chief marketing officer at FreeWave Technologies. "We designed the IO Expansion Module to meet the rigorous needs of challenging environments, such as industrial plant settings. Receiving this recognition is a testament to our customers, who gave us the input to design what they needed, and our employees, who then delivered it with the highest quality possible."
FreeWave's IO Expansion module increases the degree of monitoring, control and optimization, and offers the most flexible and easily expandable wired and wireless I/O available in the market today. Unmatched in the marketplace, FreeWave is the only wireless data radio provider with expandable I/O devices that offer universally configurable I/O channels for analog input, analog output, digital input, digital output and sensor power.
FreeWave's IO Expansion module provides faster access times for up to 192 I/O points. It also offers internal user selectable pull up and pull down resistors for all non-isolated inputs to ease product installation and reduce the number of external components. Additionally, the IO Expansion products carry the same measurement accuracy of analog inputs, and can snap directly onto FreeWave radios or connect to any other serial communication device, thereby leveraging customers' existing hardware investments.
