INTERFACE Wireless - Industrial wireless communication
- Product overview
Wireless signal transmission - analog and digital signals or serial data can be simply and securely transmitted wirelessly! - INTERFACE in action
Application examples for INTERFACE Wireless
The INTERFACE product range of wireless signal transmission systems from Phoenix Contact can be used for easy and safe wireless transmission of analog and digital signals or serial data. This gives you as a planner and user access to a very simple transmission path for industrial fields of application.
Signals that could only previously be acquired with a great deal of effort or not at all are now fast and simple to acquire.
Depending on the requirements, the following three different wireless technologies are available:
Trusted Wireless
Trusted Wireless is characterized by the following positive features:
- Wide range* from several hundred meters to several kilometers
- Robust and reliable communication in an industrial environment
- License-free ISM Band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical Band)
- Good diagnostics options
- High local system density of several hundred networks possible
- Can be operated parallel to WLAN -802.11 and Bluetooth systems without interference
* The range can be considerably exceeded or fallen below and depends on the environment, antenna technology and the product used.
Bluetooth
Owing to a variety of application profiles, the standard can be used flexibly for different tasks.
Bluetooth offers the following advantages:
- Range* typically up to 150 m in industrial halls, as well as 200 m outdoors
- Cyclical and fast transmission of small data packets
- High local system density, i.e. problem-free parallel operation of many Bluetooth networks possible
- Problem-free parallel operation of WLAN-802.11 networks
- High data security due to 128-bit data encoding and device authentication.
* The range can be considerably exceeded or fallen below and depends on the environment, antenna technology and the product used.
GPRS
- Invoicing is based on data volumes and not on the connection time
- Constant connection, i.e. no time-consuming dial-up procedure
- Available worldwide in over 200 countries
- Transmission speeds of up to 85,600 bps
