SCALANCE – scalable performance

Totally Integrated Automation from Siemens demonstrates in a host of successful applications around the world the extent to which integrated solutions can be created today with shared tools and standardized mechanisms. Selective further development of industrial communication with SIMATIC NET is linked with this at a fundamental level.

A pioneering milestone in this development is SCALANCE, the generation of active network components for establishing integrated networks. These active network components are optimally coordinated with each other. They have been designed for harsh industrial environments and enable integrated, flexible and secure setup of a high-performance network.

Industrial Ethernet switching components The communication network is of the utmost importance for automation solutions. With SIMATIC NET, Siemens offers Industrial Ethernet switching components for structuring networked machines and plants, and for integrating into the overall corporate network. A graded portfolio of switches (SCALANCE X) and communications processors with integral switch enables optimum solutions for all types of switching tasks, and not only in harsh industrial environments.

Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) Thanks to wireless communication with programmable controllers, even greater flexibility is achieved, maintenance work is simplified, and service and standstill times reduced. The IWLAN solution from Siemens Industry makes these advantages available through a coordinated portfolio of WLAN equipment for industrial use, even for fail-safe communication in the context of operator and machine safety. This includes IWLAN access points and client modules (SCALANCE W), wireless interfaces for PROFIBUS and distributed I/O, mobile operator panels, planning software, and extensive accessories.

Industrial Ethernet Security By integrating into the corporate network, the increased wired and wireless networking of industrial plants enables a degree of integration and openness that provides many benefits such as remote access to plant sections over the Internet. However, this also results in certain risks with regard to data security. With its industrial security concept, SIMATIC NET offers a safety solution that is specially designed for industrial automation engineering and that satisfies the specific requirements of this application environment. The security modules (SCALANCE S) and software are easy to handle, and reaction-free integration into existing networking concepts is possible.

Industrial Wireless LAN from Siemens Reliable, rugged, and secure The key to market success lies in the provision and availability of information, no matter when or where you need it. Thanks to the use of mobile devices linked via wireless data networks (e.g. wireless LAN), the efficiency of processes can be significantly improved. The primary benefit of wireless solutions is the simple and flexible availability of mobile or hard to access stations. Mobile communication increases a company's competitiveness, as it helps achieve greater flexibility through the use of wireless communication to automation devices and industrial terminal devices. As a result you can simplify maintenance work, reduce service costs and downtimes and deploy your personnel optimally.

Part of TIA Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) provides a complete range of products and systems for automation in all sectors of industry – from incoming goods through the production process to the delivery of goods, and through all levels, from the field level to production management right up to company management. The tools access a common database. This saves input costs and ensures project-wide consistency.

Possible applications ■

The WLAN IEEE 802.11 standard does not have the necessary specifications for use in an industrial environment. SIMATIC NET made several enhancements to radio products in accordance with the requirements of automation, thus creating the Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN).

Automated guided vehicle systems (AGV) and overhead monorail conveyors; prevents wear and offers high flexibility for traffic routing thanks to the wireless transfer of data to the vehicles

■

Industrial Mobile Communication stands for wireless communication in industry. It is based on international standards, such as IEEE 802.11 at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and data transfer rates of up to 54 Mbit/s.

Cranes; high flexibility through access to data communication with the moving unit independent of the location

■

Wireless access to field devices for configuration and testing without costly adaptation of the control cabinet

■

Communication with moving nodes (e.g. mobile controls and devices), storage and retrieval machines, conveyor systems, conveyor belts, rotating machines, trucks

■

Wireless linking of communication segments for rapid commissioning or for cost-effective networking, where otherwise the installation of cables would result in considerable costs (e.g. public highways, rivers, lakes, railways)

■

Water supply and waste-water disposal; monitors and controls water catchment, pumping stations and water treatment plants, for example, via GPRS, mobile phone and the Internet

The integration of wireless communication in industry is opening up a wide range of opportunities previously not available with a wired solution: Demanding applications, such as those with strict real-time requirements, were until recently considered a no-go area for radio technology. The use of radio on dynamic machines saves cabling materials and maintenance costs, automated guided vehicle systems can obtain data without the need for cables and the choice of route is not restricted.
