Further information about Industrial Wireless.
It's hard to imagine today's industrial applications without wireless; wireless solutions bring about many different benefits. The range of applications is as versatile as the range of technologies and systems available on the market.
As a pioneer in this field, Phoenix Contact has more than ten years' experience in the development and use of industrial wireless systems. These pages give you an insight into the various technologies and their key features, advantages, and areas of application.
Your advantages
- Increased flexibility thanks to easy and reliable communication with mobile or hard to access automation devices
- Location-independent access to network resources simplifies maintenance and reduces service costs and downtimes
- Monitoring and control of remote stations without cable access
- Lower installation and maintenance costs and the network is easier to extend in comparison with wired installations
- Increased process and product quality thanks to additional information
Wireless has become a major trend
Communication within the network is the key to flexible, self-organizing production within the context of Industrie 4.0. Industrial wireless systems play a key role in the implementation of such concepts as they offer numerous possibilities for making production processes more efficient and flexible.
Radio-controlled, autonomous transport systems and warehouse shuttles increase the productivity of your system as well as the use of tablets and smartphones for the monitoring, operation, and remote maintenance of machines. In process and infrastructure applications, industrial wireless systems enable data to be recorded from remote stations and field devices that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Our expertise: industrial wireless systems
Radioline wireless system
Radioline is based on the proprietary Trusted Wireless 2.0 wireless technology from Phoenix Contact. Radioline enables you to network large-scale systems and transmit I/O signals and serial data particularly easily across large distances.
Wireless LAN
WLAN access points and clients enable you to automate your factory efficiently and flexibly. The systems are particularly suitable for connecting numerous mobile devices in a large network with a high level of performance.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices enable you to connect mobile or replaceable automation devices to the controller easily and reliably, even in parallel with other wireless systems.
Broad range of products: the right system for every application
Industrial wireless systems open up new options for flexible and efficient automation solutions. The requirements for wireless systems are as diverse as the applications in an industrial environment. Phoenix Contact therefore offers a broad range of products and technologies. With over ten years of experience with industrial wireless solutions, we have developed the ideal solution for every application:
- On the basis of various technologies: Trusted Wireless 2.0, WLAN and Bluetooth
- For all interfaces: Wireless I/O, Wireless Serial, and Wireless Ethernet
- For all applications: factory automation, infrastructure, and process engineering
Our systems have already been in use for several years in numerous industrial applications and have proven their reliability even under the harshest conditions.
An innovation: Trusted Wireless 2.0
Not all industrial applications are suitable for standard-based wireless technologies. Phoenix Contact has recognized this issue and called on its many years of experience to develop the proprietary Trusted Wireless 2.0 wireless technology specifically for industrial use.
The technology is particularly suitable for forwarding sensor and actuator information wirelessly as well as transmitting low to medium volumes of data. With a clear line of sight, distances ranging from several hundred meters up to several kilometers can be covered between two wireless devices.
Trusted Wireless 2.0 therefore closes the gap between WirelessHART as a special technology for sensor networks and Wireless LAN high-speed technology. The technology is used in the Radioline wireless system from Phoenix Contact.
