Machine operation with smart devices Users should be able to connect their smart devices to the machine network as easily as possible. However, if the WLAN password is known and has not been changed in a long time, this also allows third parties uncontrolled access to the machine network. The WLAN 1100 wireless module enables automated key management by the machine control system. This means that secure WLAN machine access can be easily implemented.

Solutions for infrastructure networks Power over Ethernet With Power over Ethernet (PoE), data and power are transmitted via the same standard Ethernet cable. This considerably reduces the cabling effort for the network devices installed in the field, such as surveillance cameras or WLAN access points. PoE is standardized in IEEE 802.3 and thus non-proprietary use is supported. Using PoE splitters, you can also supply standard Ethernet devices with power via PoE. Further information on Power over Ethernet from page 44 Streamlined and cost-effective cabling, thanks to PoE Extended ring redundancy...
