Metromatics Expands BusWorks® NT Distributed I/O Platform with New Wireless Remote I/O Modules from Acromag

Brisbane, QLD — 27 April 2026  — Metromatics Pty Ltd hasannounced the availability of the BusWorks® NTW Series Wireless Remote I/OModules, extending the proven BusWorks NT distributed I/O platform with securedual-band Wi-Fi connectivity for industrial monitoring and control applicationsacross Australia.

The new NTW Series enables engineers and systemintegrators to connect sensors, transmitters, and control signals to PLC andSCADA systems without installing Ethernet cabling between control cabinets andnetwork infrastructure. This makes the modules particularly well suited todistributed monitoring applications across transport infrastructure, utilities,industrial facilities, and remote telemetry environments.

The NTW Series builds on Acromag’s establishedBusWorks NT architecture by introducing wireless communication capabilityalongside existing Ethernet interface modules. NTW wireless interfacemodules operate as the communication interface within the BusWorks NTdistributed I/O platform.  It can becombined with NTX expansion I/O modules to support up to 64 mixed-signal I/Ochannels under a single IP address. Distributed systems may include both NTWwireless nodes and NTE wired Ethernet nodes within the same architecture allowingflexible hybrid wired and wireless distributed monitoring architectures

Each NTW module integrates dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHzWi-Fi connectivity based on IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards, together with anRJ45 Ethernet port for installations where wired networking is preferred orlater introduced. This hybrid capability allows engineers to deploy remote I/Onodes quickly in locations where cabling is difficult or costly, whilemaintaining compatibility with existing industrial network infrastructure.

The NTW Series supports common industrial Ethernetprotocols including:

• Modbus TCP/IP
• EtherNet/IP
• OPC UA
• MQTT

along with peer-to-peer communication and a RESTfulAPI for integration with modern industrial and IIoT platforms.

Security features include WPA3 wireless protection,TLS 1.2 encryption with certificate-based authentication, and AES-256 dataprotection to support deployment in critical infrastructure and industrialenvironments where secure communications are essential.

Available NTW modules support a wide range of signaltypes, including:

• discrete digital inputsand outputs
• AC voltage detectioninputs
• analog current andvoltage inputs
• thermocouple and RTDtemperature inputs
• analog process outputs
• multi-functionmixed-signal I/O combinations

This flexibility allows system designers to configuredistributed monitoring nodes tailored to specific application requirementsacross plant equipment, field instrumentation, and remote-control cabinets.

The modules are housed in slim 25 mm DIN-railenclosures with pluggable terminals and are designed for reliable operationacross wide industrial temperature ranges. Support for NTX expansion modulesenables scalable system architectures that can grow as monitoring requirementsevolve.

According to Metromatics, the introduction of the NTWSeries significantly expands deployment options for engineers working inenvironments where running Ethernet infrastructure is impractical.

Metromatics provides local engineering support acrossAustralia and New Zealand for integrating BusWorks NT distributed remote I/Osystems into transport infrastructure, utilities monitoring systems, andindustrial automation environments.

The BusWorks NTW Series Wireless Remote I/O Modulesare available now. For more information, visit the Metromatics website orcontact the applications engineering team.
