Wireless I/O integration in the control level
The Radioline function blocks for PC Worx, STEP 7, and TIA Portal from Phoenix Contact make it possible to read out process data, status and diagnostic parameters of the Radioline wireless system directly with a controller.
Thanks to modern wireless technology, I/O signals from distributed sensors and actuators can be very easily integrated over large distances into a controller from Phoenix Contact or Siemens.
Advantages
- Monitoring and control of remote stations without cable access
- Easy reading out of process data, status and diagnostic parameters of individual wireless stations
- Flexibility, easy installation, and cost savings compared to cable-based installations
- Reduced development times
- Free-of-charge function blocks with no license
Application
In widely distributed system structures outdoors such as communal infrastructure, water/wastewater, power generation, raw material extraction, transportation technology, and also chemical parks or other process-technical systems, measured values and operating messages often have to be communicated to a control center. These include, for example, the monitoring of fill levels or consistent recording of pump outputs and flow rates.
In the control room, the process data is then either transmitted to a higher-level system via a standardized software interface or displayed on a monitor in prepared format.Yet something that sounds so simple demands a great deal of technical software-related programming effort.
Solution
Function blocks can be used to integrate new functions quickly and easily or transform devices into a fully fledged part of your control system. This reduces development times.
Thanks to modern wireless technology, I/O signals from distributed sensors can be very easily integrated over large distances into a controller from Phoenix Contact or Siemens. In the Radioline front station, the entire wireless network is thus represented with just one Modbus slave address, and sensor/actuator information can be read and written easily.
Remote water supply and groundwater extraction
Remotely and wirelessly monitor and control groundwater wells and pipeline transmission networks.
Oil supply, transport, and storage
Oil fields involve extensive systems which consist of distributed pumps working independently, which must be monitored remotely.
Conveying technology and power generation
In the extensively distributed system structures, measured values and operating messages must be transmitted over large distances.
PV systems and PV parks
Secure and reliable wireless communication between control center, string combiner, inverter and weather stations in environments disrupted by EMC.
Transportation technology
Easily and wirelessly network display boards on highways, parking lots or waterways.
Refinery
In extensively distributed plants in particular, data and error messages can be easily logged and transmitted wirelessly to the control center via the system.
