Looking for some help.
I posted this on the Ubiquiti forum:
Just joined the community, please be patient with me as I have, being kind with myself, very little experience.
I want to setup a wireless network to connect twelve PLCs using Modbus TCP/IP. I haven't nailed down the exact controller that will be used, at the moment I'm down to either an Automation Direct Productivity 2000 or IDEC FC6A.
I have seen a few posts here and on other forums that mention Nanostaion Loco M5. I'm a bit concerned as these show up under legacy in the products page. So my first questions are:
I realize my application might be a bit vague so will gladly answer questions.
Here at PLCs.net is where I first read about Ubiquiti products and their use with PLCs. Would appreciate any help.
A bit more info. on my application.
Distance from PLC to PLC would be about 5 meters, they will all be placed in line with each other.
Information would mainly go to a single PLC but want the flexibility for this main (master?) unit to send out periodical data to the other units.
I'm also considering the Banner DX80ER9M Ethernet Radio. Although this would be more costly.
I welcome your suggestions, thoughts, etc.

- Are the Nanostaion Loco M5 currently in production or will they be phased out?
- What would be the current model to consider?
