RadioHub IO ALU Series – Wireless I/O Interface Module
Class I Division 1 Version
RadioHub IO ALU Series is a compact wireless I/O interface module designed to connect industrial field devices to secure wireless communication networks. The module enables standard wired instruments and control devices to be integrated into Mimes wireless architectures, reducing field cabling, simplifying installation, and supporting flexible system expansion.
RadioHub IO is based on the ISA100.11a open industrial wireless standard, providing a standardized and interoperable communication platform for industrial automation and monitoring applications. The solution can be connected to any compatible ISA100 gateway and may be integrated into existing ISA100 wireless networks, enabling users to expand their installed infrastructure without being locked into a proprietary wireless ecosystem.
RadioHub IO is developed for demanding industrial environments and can be used in both functional safety applications and standard industrial monitoring and control applications. For Fire & Gas and other safety-related systems, RadioHub IO can form part of a SIL2-capable Mimes architecture where safe signal transfer, diagnostics, and reliable field integration are required. For non-SIL applications, the same platform provides a robust wireless I/O solution for process monitoring, remote control, utility systems, environmental monitoring, and general industrial automation.
The ALU Series is housed in a robust IP66/IP67 corrosion-resistant aluminium enclosure, designed for reliable operation in harsh industrial, marine, offshore, and hazardous area environments. The enclosure provides high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, moisture, dust, UV exposure, and demanding field conditions. With an extended operating temperature range, the solution is suitable for use in Class I Division 1 hazardous area applications, supporting deployment where flammable gases, vapours, or hazardous atmospheres may be present during normal operation.
The module supports connection of field devices such as gas detectors, flame detectors, pressure sensors, level instruments, beacons, sounders, and other equipment using standard industrial signals. This makes RadioHub IO suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects where existing wired instruments need to be upgraded with wireless communication capability.
