This is where SIMATIC PCs show what they are made of. Thanks to their resistance to vibration, industrial processes run smoothly and precisely, without risk of interruption. This is because they are specially designed for such requirements. These computers are designed to withstand shocks and vibrations and therefore operate with complete reliability, even when subjected to severe mechanical loads. This reliability is guaranteed by the hard disk suspension using polymer dampers, the robust all-metal housing and interlocked connectors. The special retainers ensure that the modules do not work loose and that connectors always remain firmly in place. With regard to...[ Read More ]

Industrial Wireless CommunicationsIndustrial use of radio technology requires particularly reliable connections. A solid basis therefore is provided by the universal standard IEEE 802.11. Interference-tolerant modulation is taken into account. In order to maintain a radio link even over long distances or in the event of reflection against metal objects, the data rate is reduced in defined increments. These are all components of the IEEE 802.11.However, the requirements for data communication in the industrial area is outside the normal scope. The devices in the SCALANCE W family compliment the universal WLAN Standard IEEE 802.11 with additional features, that justify the ‘I’ in...[ Read More ]
