Wireless I/O and module

By ,
Siemens’ Simatic® ET 200pro IWLAN saves communication cabling and installation costs by delivering wireless connectivity from any distributed I/O station. Compatible with Siemens’ complete line of ET 200pro I/O and specialty modules, the IP67-rated IWLAN interface can be directly mounted on a machine, eliminating the need for installation inside an electrical enclosure. The design supports deterministic iPCF (Industrial Point Coordination Function) for critical industrial Ethernet communications using standard PROFINET protocol.
