Extra reliability

SCALANCE W example

SCALANCE W is a complete product familyfor Industrial Wireless LAN with different ac-cess points and client modules, and exten-sive accessories. All components have onething in common: outstanding ruggednessthat sets standards for wireless productsand is proved daily at the machine level orin harsh outdoor use. Our products standout for their high degree of protection IP65and permissible use at temperatures of 20to +60 C. You can count on them workingundisturbed even under condensation.

Designed for Industry right down to the smallest detail

Whether inside a building or in the openair: the fault-free operation of a productionplant or a container port demands certaindetails that office devices dont offer.Examples: fan-free design, DIN-rail installa-tion, especially rugged connectors, antennadiversity and the facility for setting up re-dundant wireless systems.

Rapid roaming for high-speed transition

to the next wireless cell

The designation RR on the relevantSCALANCE access points indicates one oftheir outstanding abilities: lightning fastchangeover from one wireless cell to thenext. The great benefit for users is thatthe automation process continues to oper-ate without interruption. The benefit forinvestors is that they have new possibilitiesfor highly cost-effective solutions. Electricsuspension monorails in assembly lines, forexample, can thus be designed to be wear-free.

Determinism and real time transfer of process data on the IWLAN

In contrast to office networking, the impor-tant thing in industry is safe control of themost high-speed, cyclic sequences with theshortest possible response times. Siemenshas pushed its PROFINET developments forthis purpose. The Reserve data rate fa-cility makes it possible to determine datatraffic on the IWLAN in such a way that eventime-critical process data, as demanded byautomation, can be transmitted wirelessly.

Wireless and Safety Integrated

acknowledged reliability

Rapid roaming and the PROFIsafe specifica-tions of the IEEE 802.11 standard also en-able Safety Integrated on IWLAN too. TheseSiemens applications tested by the GermanTechnical Inspectorate (TV) and BG-Insti-tute for Occupational Safety and Health(BGIA) show that safety and cost savingscan be reliably harmonized with each other.

RCoax innovation the totally different

antenna for new possibilities

Examples: establishment of IWLAN within

railroad trains, connection of mobile unitsin wastewater treatment plants, wear-freeelectric suspension monorails for assem-bling automobiles. Increased user-friendli-ness, optimized processes and reducedmaintenance overhead are just some of themany RCoax benefits in conjunction withSCALANCE W access points.

Wireless efficiency with safety

Looking for alternatives for more efficiency,

and want to achieve your goal quickly andsafely? To be able to plan wireless LAN net-works efficiently and thereby with as fewerrors as possible, Siemens has developedthe SINEMA E diagnostics tool: softwarethat confers great benefits on your WLANacross all phases of the life cycle.

Innovative software for your

individual WLAN solution

How many access points are really re-quired? Where do they have to be located?Which antenna type should be used?With SINEMA E, these questions can beanswered quickly by creating completetopographical and three-dimensionalscenarios; even for multi-storey buildings,if necessary. The perfect interaction of allwireless network nodes is worked out usingdetailed simulation, and potential barriersand sources of interference can be detectedin good time. From preliminary technicalclarification, through detailed planning withsimulation, right up to startup support including safety settings, SINEMA E is the

efficient aid for avoiding experiments and

planning errors and for reaching the oper-ating phase faster to the profit of bothusers and investors.

Industrial Wireless Communication

challenges met efficiently

Whether you have to create wear-freesolutions for connecting mobile units inindustrial production, or provide cost-ef-fective connection of distributed measur-ing stations to a control station for supplycompanies, or manage the vehicle fleet fora logistics company in a future-proof way,Industrial Wireless Communication fromSiemens provides conclusive proof of itsvalue in the most varied applications. Therequirements of the application determinewhether WLAN, the GSM/GPRS standardor other standardized procedures are usedhere. Common to all the solutions are theacquisition costs, a high level of cost ef-fectiveness and enormous reliability evenunder demanding conditions. This is en-sured by the relevant easily implementedmechanisms. Despite cost reductions, oneproperty always has the highest priority:safety.

Safety as standard results in

success as standard

In SIMATIC NET developments, protectionof your investments is a high priority, soSiemens consistently backs field-provenstandards and expands them to be compat-ible with industrial and industry-relatedrequirements. One proof of this is thesuccessful introduction of PROFINET. Aris-ing out of the Ethernet standard 802.3,PROFINET creates the optimal prerequisitesfor efficient, company-wide automationsolutions. The vision has become real-ity: secure, wireless transmission even ofcritical data, and the fulfillment of require-

ments for protecting personnel and plantthrough the integration of PROFIsafe intoIndustrial Wireless LAN. PROFINETs specialtrump card is its acknowledged efficiency inengineering.
