I am looking for a way for wireless transmission of (4) Type "S" TC signals.
Then get this signal into a GE Rx3i PLC using Modbus/TCP or Analog voltage/current.
I found one by Lord Microstrain which supports 6 TCs, but it is 12 bit (0-4095) which is not good enough for me to get 0.1 deg readability on a 0-3100 deg signal.

I like the looks of the Zigbee "Z-HEAD-4-TC Multi input thermocouple input wireless transmitter".

However it appears that ZigBee is not sold in the US.
Has anyone used these components in the US?
Has anyone used ZigBee components outside the US? What is your opinion?
