Cost-saving Wireless I/O Module

Oct. 2, 2009
The Simatic ET 200pro IWLAN is designed to save communication cabling and installation costs by delivering wireless connectivity from any distributed I/O station. 
Compatible with the vendor’s line of ET 200pro I/O and specialty modules, the rugged IP67-rated IWLAN interface can be directly mounted on a machine, eliminating the need for installation inside an electrical enclosure. Based on IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards, the wireless design supports deterministic iPCF (Industrial Point Coordination Function) for critical industrial Ethernet communications using standard Profinet protocol. This wireless I/O connectivity allows plants to access machines, process systems and mobile equipment that previously could not be reached via cabled network.Siemens Energy & Automation Inc. www.sea.siemens.com800.241.4453
