Tired of the inconvenience of finding a place to plug into your Ethernet system? Are you ready for the convenience thatcomes from sending your Ethernet packets over the air instead of through a wire? Now you can access your networkresources without having to plug-in or dock into your LAN. B&B Electronics has carefully selected the AWK-1100industrial wireless Access Point to enable wireless users to access network resources wirelessly. AWK-1100 canauthenticate and authorize wireless users by IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS, and communicate with a back-end RADIUS(Remote Authentication User Dial-In Service) server to see if a wireless user is allowed to access the wireless network.

AWK-1100 is rated to operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to 60° C, and is rugged enough for any harsh industrialenvironment. Installation is easy, with either DIN rail mounting or distribution boxes. The DIN rail mounting capability,wide-operating temperature range, and IP30 case with LED indicators make AWK-1100 a convenient plug-and-play,yet reliable solution for your industrial wireless applications. Panel Mount Kit is available.

IEEE 802.1X/RADIUSWhen configured for AP/Bridge mode, AWK-1100 can authenticate wirelessusers and distribute encryption keys dynamically by IEEE 802.1X Port-BasedNetwork Access Control and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In UserService). The following authentication methods are supported: EAP-MD5/EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS/PEAP.

Watchdog TimerIf the firmware gets stuck in an invalid state, the hardware watchdog timer willdetect the situation and then restart the AWK-1100 automatically, assuring theAWK-1100 will provide continuous service.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)AWK-1100 supports the WPA standard proposed by the Wi-Fi Alliancewww.wi-fi.org. Both WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode and full WPA mode aresupported. WPA is composed of TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) andIEEE 802.1X and serves as a successor to WEP for better WLAN security.

Redundant Power InputsAWK-1100 provides two power inputs that can be connected simultaneouslyto live DC power sources. If one of the power inputs fails, the other sourceacts as a backup to provide power automatically.

Tired of the inconvenience of finding a place to plug into your Ethernet system? Are you ready for the convenience thatcomes from sending your Ethernet packets over the air instead of through a wire? Now you can access your networkresources without having to plug-in or dock into your LAN. B&B Electronics has carefully selected the AWK-1100industrial wireless Access Point to enable wireless users to access network resources wirelessly. AWK-1100 canauthenticate and authorize wireless users by IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS, and communicate with a back-end RADIUS(Remote Authentication User Dial-In Service) server to see if a wireless user is allowed to access the wireless network.

AWK-1100 is rated to operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to 60° C, and is rugged enough for any harsh industrialenvironment. Installation is easy, with either DIN rail mounting or distribution boxes. The DIN rail mounting capability,wide-operating temperature range, and IP30 case with LED indicators make AWK-1100 a convenient plug-and-play,yet reliable solution for your industrial wireless applications. Panel Mount Kit is available.

IEEE 802.1X/RADIUSWhen configured for AP/Bridge mode, AWK-1100 can authenticate wirelessusers and distribute encryption keys dynamically by IEEE 802.1X Port-BasedNetwork Access Control and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In UserService). The following authentication methods are supported: EAP-MD5/EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS/PEAP.

Watchdog TimerIf the firmware gets stuck in an invalid state, the hardware watchdog timer willdetect the situation and then restart the AWK-1100 automatically, assuring theAWK-1100 will provide continuous service.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)AWK-1100 supports the WPA standard proposed by the Wi-Fi Alliancewww.wi-fi.org. Both WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode and full WPA mode aresupported. WPA is composed of TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) andIEEE 802.1X and serves as a successor to WEP for better WLAN security.

Redundant Power InputsAWK-1100 provides two power inputs that can be connected simultaneouslyto live DC power sources. If one of the power inputs fails, the other sourceacts as a backup to provide power automatically.

The #1 Factor industrial customers measure when they choose a wireless sensor network is RELIABILITY

4-20 mAcurrentloop node

Ethernetbridge node

RTD node

The atmosphere in a steel plant is absolutely brutal to sensors. Extreme tem-peratures and harsh chemical, metallurgical, and mechanical processes makeany monitoring a challenge. Yet process monitoring is critical to a steel plant’sprofitably. Tough competition in the world steel market holds prices down. Any unexpected maintenance shutdowns reflect directly on the bottom line.

At a point in steel making, electrical current often arcs to the sides of the furnace. This super-heats the furnace wall, sometimes overloading its temperature control mechanism. If the cooling system is allowed to fail, themolten steel could burn through the walls of the furnace in a matter of minutes, allowing molten metal to pour out onto the shop floor, endangeringworkers’ lives and millions in equipment. Then, needless to say, the plantwould be down for a significant period of time.

For one major steel manufacturer, it was critical to find an accurate and costeffective way to monitor and record temperature fluctuations within the waterjackets of their giant furnaces. After much research, they chose Sensicastwireless mesh network temperature sensors.

With 24/7 production, there was almost no downtime to install or replace thesensors. They had to be placed or replaced quickly during a brief cool periodin the melting cycle. Even during these “cool” periods the temperature at thesensor site measures over 125° F! The need for a quick installation, the highheat, and difficult positioning made installing wired sensors impossible. Plus,molten steel splashing around would vaporize any wires it touched!

Simple, traditional wireless monitoring techniques were out, too. Strong magnetic and electrical fields, plus the large masses of steel would interrupttheir transmissions, causing communication outages. In an application where a minute’s delay can mean disaster, this was not acceptable.

Sensicast RTD nodes were placed between the inner and outer walls of thefurnace. They were able to withstand the heat from melting steel, wide tem-perature swings, powerful magnetic fields, water spray, and vibration.

The brutal environment required a flameproof wrap, plastic water barrier andsturdy metal box to protect the sensor. These presented additional challengesfor the wireless signals. But the Sensicast signal was able to punch throughthe protective shielding and relay its sensor data clearly and reliably.

SensiNet smart mesh networking routes data around any temporary troublespots that might occur. Frequency hopping lets the H900 nodes search outthe best channel for clear communication. This insures a constant and accu-rate flow of information to the plant’s maintenance and management teams.

Impressed by the reliable operation of the initial Sensicast monitors, the steelplant has since installed a Sensicast OPC system to deliver data directly tothe PLCs. The company depends on this critical information to handle pre-ventive maintenance more efficiently, eliminating the unscheduled downtimethat can turn a profitable steel plant into a loser.

There are few places more inhospitable to a sensor than an active steel mill.

125° F is the “coolperiod” for Sensicastsensors in a steel mill

The Sensicast system is designed specifically to provide the most reliable wireless communication while minimizing impact on batterylife, making it the ideal solution for wireless applications in harshindustrial environments, such as steel mills.

In a wireless mesh network, reliability is defined as receiving andtransmitting every package. Key requirements include: Robustness of wireless communications; wide Range achieved with a limitednumbers of hops to a destination; Retransmissions enabled by special protocols; and Redundancy supplied by the mesh network.The Sensicast system selected by B&B Electronics is indeed the most reliable wireless communication system, making it the idealsolution for challenging applications such as large or multi-buildingfacilities, even harsh industrial environments like steel mills (see application story below).

While sensor networks have been used for some time in commercialand industrial installations, this proven solution delivers benefits farbeyond those possible with wired approaches. Built on the industry-leading wireless mesh networking technology, this system integratessensors, software and networking devices through a patented meshnetwork technology, into turnkey solutions.
