    RS232 to wireless

    Greetings,
    I am looking for RS232 to Wireless converter, to connect CNC machines to a single computer.
    There is similiar equipment that I found, like this one: Universal Wireless RS232 to USB Transceiver but the receiver can communicate with only up to 12 transmitters. Even though these devices look promising, i need to be able to connect atleast 70 CNC machines preferably to one computer. Can anyone recommend such equipment?
    Also, if we, lets say, connect 5x12 CNC machines to 5 computers, with 60 transmitters and 5 receivers, will the five different networks interfere with eachother?
    Thank you in advance!

    Check out the Orion box from Nexas. It sits at the machine supports RS-232 and goes wireless out to your system.

    I would be cautious towards such items as with any communication, a dropped character can prove to be dangerous for the operator as well as costly on material or machine.

    Most RS232 to wireless adapters are going to run you $250+ that are reliable, proven and problem free.

    We found units for $99 bucks but resetting them nightly to make work seemed to be a waste of time. Furthermore, units that only support Fanuc controls are limited, and may not be feasible for the future.

    We have options on our website that you might consider.
