Its diversity is reflected across the entire bandwidth of industrial communication solutions from SIMATIC NET, which goes beyond Telecontrol and Industrial Wireless Communication: with PROFINET/ Industrial Ethernet, PROFIBUS, AS-Interface, and IO-Link, it covers all fields of industrial communication. This guarantees that there is a solution for every application and every sector. 3

4 Industrial Wireless Communication Three options, one goal maximum cost-effectiveness Industrial Wireless LAN. Flexible, plant-wide radio infrastructure Wireless solutions are increasingly becoming standard components of machines and plants. In cases where data communication requirements are very demanding, Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) relies on innovations such as deterministic radio and PROFINET, the Industrial Ethernet standard. PROFINET opens up completely new perspectives, from efficient engineering and real-time solutions to safety-related tasks through the use of PROFIsafe via IWLAN. In addition, an IWLAN infrastructure can also be used for additional applications such as video monitoring. Industrial Wireless Telecontrol. Economical and multi-faceted radio technology for long distances Continuous communication between areas of the plant that are situated far away from each other in the water/wastewater sector, or quick remote servicing access to machines and plants at the other end of the world are just two of the countless possibilities for using the advantages of Industrial Wireless Telecontrol (IWT). Process data transmitted via GSM/GPRS is available at any time by means of integration into the SINAUT telecontrol system or an HMI/SCADA system. WirelessHART. Wireless connection of the process instrumentation WirelessHART is an open industry standard developed for the special wireless communication requirements on the field level in the process industry. It meets all of the specific requirements in terms of reliability, safety, cost-effectiveness, and operator-friendliness. With more than 30 million devices installed worldwide, HART technology is the most frequently used communication protocol for intelligent process instrumentation at the field level. WirelessHART is backward-compatible with the cable-based HART technology and it therefore provides maximum investment protection for hardware, software, and expertise. 4

You can even count on uninterrupted functioning in the event of condensation. SINEMA E software. Reliably plan your Industrial Wireless LAN In order to be able to quickly and reliably plan IWLANs, Siemens has developed SINEMA E: a software program that allows you to have complete control of your IWLAN, from the planning phase to commissioning and beyond. Accurate simulation. The quick way to the operating phase SINEMA E creates complete topographies and 3-dimensional scenarios, even for multi-story buildings. Thanks to the accurate simulation, the perfect interaction of all radio network nodes is determined and possible barriers and interference sources are detected in time. From preliminary technical clarification to detailed planning and simulation to commissioning support including safety settings: SINEMA E is the efficient tool for preventing experiments and planning errors and to get to the operating phase more quickly. Both users and investors benefit from this. Deterministic behavior and real time. Process data transfer with IWLAN In industry, everything depends on the reliable control of extremely fast, cyclical processes with the shortest possible response times. For this reason, Siemens has pushed forward with its PROFINET developments. Thanks to additional functions, called ifeatures, data traffic with IWLAN has been made definable to the extent that even time-critical process data such as that required in automation can be sent wirelessly. Wireless and Safety Integrated. Acknowledged reliability Industrial Wireless LAN and PROFINET with PROFIsafe profile enable safetyrelated communication, even wirelessly (Safety Integrated). The Siemens applications tested by the German Technical Inspectorate (TÜV) and Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IFA) show that safety and cost savings can be reliably harmonized with each other. RCoax innovation. The totally different antenna for new possibilities Everywhere where service-intensive contact wires, expensive trailing cables, or inflexible data light barriers are used, the RCoax leaky wave cable represents a reliable and economical alternative. It wins over customers in electric monorail systems, stacker cranes, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), or in crane systems. 7

8 Industrial Wireless Telecontrol Communicate around the world with GSM and GPRS SINAUT telecontrol system.
