SIMATIC NET - remote communication as the key to digitalization

 

In the field of automation industrial communication is of paramount importance. Siemens offers a range of remote SIMATIC NET solutions, including PROFINET, PROFIBUS, AS-Interface, and IO-Link. With these solutions, SIMATIC NET ensures versatile industrial communication and optimal solutions for every application and sector.

What is SIMATIC NET?

SIMATIC NET is a comprehensive networking solution that enables fast and seamless communication between industrial devices and easy integration with higher-level systems. SIMATIC NET offers various communication protocols designed to transmit data between different devices and control systems while ensuring high reliability and fast data transmission. Additionally, SIMATIC NET provides networking solutions such as industrial routers, switches and gateways, designed for harsh working conditions.

Remote control in factories, industry and public infrastructure sectors

Siemens offers telecontrol and teleservice solutions that provide secure access to dispersed devices, remote installations and mobile applications regardless of their size. Telecontrol allows the connection of remote stations to one or more central management, monitoring and control systems, while teleservice enables data exchange with remote physical devices for diagnostics, service, repair or optimization.

New radio technologies and standards enable the transmission of large amounts of data with high bandwidth (including high-resolution images and video files), opening up new application areas such as monitoring working conditions, public transport video transmission or managing smart systems and devices.

Siemens offers dedicated telecontrol solutions even for the most dispersed applications and these solutions are part of Totally Integrated Automation - open and unified engineering platform. TIA ensures the interaction of all implemented components, forming a strong foundation for lasting productivity growth.

Effective solutions: fast installation with FastConnect

Cabling technology is a crucial element of industrial networks. These products offer fast and error-free installation using FastConnect - innovative system for connecting Ethernet wires. This saves significant time during installation and commissioning of industrial networks, increasing work efficiency. Siemens offers various types of cables and connectors, including shielded twisted pairs, RJ45 connectors and housings of different lengths. All products meet industrial standards and are adapted to work in harsh industrial conditions, such as high temperatures, dust and humidity.

Standard Ethernet components: SCALANCE X, SCALANCE W, SCALANCE S, SCALANCE M

For IP-based networks, the best choice is industrial Ethernet components from the SIMATIC NET product range.

SCALANCE X - Ethernet switches for industry

Scalance X switches are designed with industry in mind, especially environments that are exceptionally demanding. SCALANCE X Ethernet switches allow great flexibility in network topology creation, as they support Power over Ethernet technology. A characteristic feature of SCALANCE X is data transmission over long distances (up to 200 km) and transmission speeds up to 10 Gigabit. This means we have an exceptionally fast switch that can handle any task. SCALANCE X switches support various mounting types (e.g. DIN rail, inside or outside cabinets) and are available in different versions: as switches to control cabinets, compact versions, managed or unmanaged.

SCALANCE W - for industrial wireless LANs (IWLAN)

SCALANCE W components are designed for wireless LAN connections. With them data can be transmitted wirelessly inside or outside the control cabinet. SCALANCE W ensures simple machine connections and even large radio coverage areas that provide data transmission up to 300 Mbit/s (MIMO technology) and real-time transmission via PROFINET (optional iFeatures function with KEY-PLUG). This allows the creation of exceptionally demanding applications such as wireless communication of automated control vehicles used in production halls.

SCALANCE S - security devices for industry

SCALANCE S products protect industrial devices and networks from various threats, providing secured communication channels and network segmentation thus creating a secure environment. SCALANCE S security mechanisms can be combined with other protections, ensuring defense against unauthorized access to system data or attacks. SCALANCE S components ensure the simultaneous start of up to 200 VPN connections with a data throughput of up to 120 Mbit/s. Meanwhile, Firewall devices provide firewall performance up to 750 Mbit/s and secure access between network segments using a bridged or routed firewall. In both cases connections can be made via Ethernet ports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s and fiber optics (up to 200 km).

SCALANCE M - industrial routers

SCALANCE M components are mobile routers for wireless communication and wired connections. With these routers it is possible to connect  machines and users (stationary and mobile) to a central control and monitoring system, instead of building a dedicated wireless network. SCALANCE M routers ensure wireless data and image transmission in 3G (UMTS), 4G (LTE) and 5G in real-time, as well as wired transmission using ADSL and SHDSL or PROFIBUS/MPI.
