Wireless transmission technologies further expand the breadth of possible applications. Plant operators now demand that broadband data transfer is possible to all their end points. They want to be able to obtain up-to-date operating data, control the plant at little cost and effort and also use mobile units as flexibly as possible. Weidmuller's versatile WLAN module can be used as an access point, bridge or client. It is quite simple to integrate into existing infrastructures because it has an alternative Power over Ethernet supply (using the data cable for the power supply). Support for RADIUS services and WPA2 secure encryption guarantees that your data is fully protected. Multiple wireless zones can be set up so that clients can move with versatility by quickly roaming between the different radio/wireless cells. Multiple zones can be specified (multiple SSIDs) and different VLANs can be assigned for each wireless cell. This allows you to implement a one-to-one forwarding of the cable-based infrastructure to the wireless zone.
