Industrial communication<br />
SIMATIC NET Industrial Communication<br />
Components for constructing a communications infrastructure<br />
Critical production data can be used throughout the corporation<br />
The main trends emerging in industry today include rising profitability and<br />
efficiency in production, the shortening of time to market of new products,<br />
and the improvement of quality. These requirements can only be met if all<br />
machines in your plant interact perfectly.<br />
This can only be achieved by means of open, transparent communication<br />
that not only takes place at the production level, but also incorporates<br />
all company management levels and business systems. This is the<br />
only way to avoid isolated automation and IT solutions.<br />
The products of the SIMATIC NET series designed for industrial communication<br />
provide you with precisely the technology you need in order to:<br />
• set up a distributed automation system<br />
• achieve data transparency from the field level to the company<br />
management level<br />
• use the advantages of industrial wireless communication<br />
• integrate IT systems<br />
Industrial Ethernet<br />
Ethernet today is the number one network in the global LAN environment.<br />
Ethernet provides you with important functions and features that<br />
can offer significant advantages for your application:<br />
• Fast commissioning thanks to the simplest connection method<br />
• Almost unlimited communication performance with scalable performance<br />
due to switching technology and continuously rising data transmission<br />
rates<br />
• Suitable for networking the widest variety of applications<br />
(e.g. applications from the office and production environments)<br />
• Worldwide communication thanks to telecontrol technologies<br />
(e.g. GSM/GPRS)<br />
• Wireless data exchange via Industrial Wireless LAN<br />
SIMATIC NET is based on the tried and tested Ethernet technology and<br />
offers essential additions for the industrial sector:<br />
• Network components for use in extreme industrial environments<br />
• Fail-safe networks through high-speed redundancy<br />
• Continuous monitoring and diagnosis of the network components<br />
• Fail-safe and simple connection method on site<br />
