Yes, we talked about it in a early stage but as I don't have any knowledge in radio and some customers said that they dont want more radio interferance in their plants made us leave it at that time. The radio module I'm looking at now is for connecting the control room with the plant instead of using up to 500 meter of cable. And if the plant is divided up in two, three groups use radio to make it as one to the control room. But, that will take some study from my side. Seen some nice ready built ones for OEM use with a UART interface to them so maybe I don't need to learn it all myself! Please post the web page if you can. I do like to see it!
