The SCALANCE XF-200BA Industrial Ethernet Switches have the same extra-flat design as the SIMATIC ET 200SP with a flexible bus adapter concept: This allows installation of various network topologies for cooper or fiber-optic cables. Equipped with coated printed circuit boards (Conformal Coating) and with a temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C, the managed switches are ideal for use in manufacturing and process automation, for example in automobile manufacturing or in the oil and gas industry.
The BA 2xRJ45VD HA BusAdapter is capable of both standard Ethernet communication via 4-wire cables (twisted pair) and data transfer via 2-wire cables (single twisted pair). This means existing PROFIBUS DP infrastructures can continue to be used, thereby avoiding costly retrofitting at the field level in particular.
The mobile SIMATIC RF650M UHF RFID reader was designed for flexible use under difficult conditions. This application example shows you how you can transfer read transponder data via a WLAN interface directly to a PC or S7 controller. The comprehensive “RF650M” software supplied with the SIMATIC RF650M offers all functions required for reading and handling UHF transponders. There is only one function missing on the mobile handheld reader for the automatic transfer of read transponder data to a remote PC or S7 controller.
SolutionIn this application example the WLAN interface of the SIMATIC RF650M is used to send transponder data to a remote PC or PLC. For this purpose, simple applications and blocks have been created – one application for the mobile handheld reader and for the PC and S7 blocks for S7 controllers. The applications/blocks establish a TCP connection to each other and exchange the transponder data through it.
The transponder data is read out and transmitted via the mobile application. The PC application or S7 blocks only receives the transponder data and displays it to the user.
Using real-time communication where reliable data transmission is required – and wireless! The SCALANCE W780 access points and W740 client modules support data rates of up to 450 Mbps by enhancing the IEEE 802.11n standard with iFeatures, allowing you, for example, to position fully mobile clients across several radio cells using MIMO technology.
This opens up new application areas, for example, along rail tracks, in holiday parks or even applications with EMERGENCY STOP function via a mobile panel – whether indoors, outdoors or in harsh environmental conditions.
Implement wireless networking of machines easily and economically – with SCALANCE W760 access points and SCALANCE W720 client modules!
Due to their SIMATIC design, minimum space is required in the control cabinet when integrating automation components such as a SIMATIC ET 200SP seamlessly into an industrial WLAN – and according to IEEE 802.11n standard and with data rates of up to 150 Mbps.
Perfect for both inside and outside the control cabinet!
Transfer data wirelessly from the control cabinet in perfect interaction with SIMATIC S7-1500! Or you can even use our devices with degree of protection IP65 outside the control cabinet.
The SCALANCE W770 access points and SCALANCE W730 client modules in SIMATIC design reliably implement wireless communication between the control and an ET 200MP, acting as a sort of header module.
This allows networks ranging from simple machine networks to large wireless areas to be implemented using MIMO technology with data transmission rates of up to 300 Mbps.
Due to optional iFeatures provided by the KEY-PLUG W780 iFeature, it is even possible to perform wireless data communication in real-time via PROFINET IO.
Using the new access points SCALANCE W778-1 M12, you have rugged devices conforming to IP65 which can be used in demanding ambient conditions. The compact design, as well as the many installation options using DIN-rail assemblies, angle adapters, or direct bolting to the wall, saves space and ensures flexibility.
Dank lackierten Leiterplatten (conformal coating) erfüllen die Access Points SCALANCE W774-1 M12 EEC und SCALANCE W778-1 M12 EEC die Anforderungen für Verkehrs- und Transportwesen (EN 50155, E1).
SIMATIC WinAC RTX is the SIMATIC software controller for PC-based automation solutions and permits real-time capable, deterministic control functions to be carried out on the PC.
Range of application
SIMATIC WinAC RTX is particularly suitable for automation tasks where, in addition to control functions, it is necessary to solve true real-time, a high data volume, and fast technological functions on a PC platform. The optimized runtime system supports the processing of extensive and demanding PC applications in parallel with the control task.
In order to optimize the capacity utilization, state-of-the-art technologies such as Multi Core are used – for example one core for Windows applications and one for the SIMATIC WinAC RTX.
Optimum access to PLC runtime data like image processing, data logging, etc. is carried out by means of the WinAC option Open Development Kit (ODK). ODK applications are beeing programmed in a standard high-level language. The integration is done by means of one of the interfaces
Custom Code eXtension (CCX) calls high-level language routines from the WinAC control program
Shared Memory eXtension (SMX) exchanges data fast between WinAC and the Windows application
Controller Management Integration (CMI) provides the WinAC control panel functions for own PC applications
The performance of SIMATIC WinAC RTX can be scaled across the processor performance. Applications range from machine-level control tasks with rugged embedded PCs to high-end applications on PCs with newest processor technology (e.g. SIMATIC IPC).To the top of the page
Benefits
Multi-discipline through solving PC-typical applications (business software like e.g. MS Office and own, proprietary user programs in C++, VB, etc.) and automation tasks in just one system
Openness through installation on standard PC hardware platforms
SIMATIC Embedded bundles: Robust turnkey products, with preinstalled Windows operating systems and SIMATIC WinAC RTX
Investment security through the use of long-term available Industrial PCs while utilizing the continuous PC innovations and performance advancements at the same time
Simple communication through low-cost, integrated network interfaces
Reduced training effort through Engineering in the familiar SIMATIC STEP 7 environment
SIMATIC STEP 7 is the one engineering software for all, the modular SIMATIC controllers S7-300/S7-400 and the software controller WinAC.
Platforms SIMATIC WinAC RTX runs on standard PCs with MS Windows XP and embedded operating systems and is optimally matched to SIMATIC industrial PCs. Use on embedded PC platforms, such as the SIMATIC IPC 427C or the SIMATIC HMI IPC 477C, results in especially affordable and extremely robust solutions. SIMATIC WinAC RTX uses the main memory of the PCs and offers program backup on the hard disk/flash drive. Non-cyclic data, such as production parameters or recipe data, can be stored permanently on the memory of the PC with the help of system functions. In addition, all data can be held retentively in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Connection of the I/O SIMATIC WinAC RTX can control the distributed I/O not only via PROFIBUS, but also via PROFINET. The I/O is connected via PROFIBUS DP at up to 12 Mbit/s via the integral DP interface of the SIMATIC IPCs or via communication processors (CP 5611 A2/5613 A2). You can operate up to four PROFIBUS lines with up to 500 slaves. In addition it is possible to connect the I/O via PROFINET. This requires either the integrated Ethernet interface of the SIMATIC IPC or a communication processor CP 1616 (PCI) or CP 1604 (PCI-104). Furthermore WinAC RTX also supports the system function isochronous mode. With isochronous mode, high-speed, time-dependent applications such as closed-loop controls can also be implemented with distributed I/O.
