ENG_477743.XML
SCALANCE W700 client modules make it possible for a node with an Industrial Ethernet interface (e.g. a controller) to move contact-free and with no wear and tear in an Industrial Wireless LAN radio link. The node logs on in the radio link via the client module and can then exchange information with the entire data network. If the client module is moving on an automated guided vehicle system, for example, it is automatically and transparently handed over from one access point to the next (roaming).
This is possible over distances of up to 30 m indoors (approx. 100 m outdoors). Additional directional antennas can be used outdoors to achieve ranges of several thousand meters.
In addition to their reliable radio links, a major feature of the SCALANCE W700 client modules is their support of IT mechanisms:
- IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n for different frequency ranges
- IEEE802.11e for wireless multimedia (WMM)
- IEEE802.11i for security
- Sending the log entries of the SCALANCE W devices to a Syslog server
- Modern security mechanisms (e.g. network security such as IEEE 802.1x, RADIUS, EAP mechanisms)
Security
A high degree of data security is achieved by means of the WPA2/IEEE 802.11i mechanisms. These define modern procedures that control a regular exchange of the complete 128-bit key as well as performing the access check (authentication) of a node. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is available for data encryption.
On top of this, access to the devices (HTTPS) is encrypted and a secure logon (SSH) is possible. If a security concept in combination with SCALANCE S is required, the security requirements can be increased using Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
Scope of functions
Depending on the product version, SCALANCE W700 client modules can manage radio links for up to eight connected devices with Ethernet interfaces. It is possible for mobile units with a small Ethernet network (up to eight devices) to be linked into an IWLAN radio link.
iFeatures (only in conjunction with KEY-PLUG or SCALANCE W722-1 RJ45)
iPCF (industrial Point Coordination Function):
The iPCF operating mode is a good choice for applications with requirements for real-time and predictable response times (deterministic response), even with mobile nodes roaming from one access point to the next. This ensures that wireless PROFINET IO is supported and that safety-oriented signals, e.g. emergency stop, can be linked into the radio link.
The iPCF mechanism expands the IEEE 802.11 standard and must be available on both the client module and the access point. In a radio link in which iPCF is used, no IEEE 802.11-compliant nodes can be operated.
iPCF is recommended for applications where wireless network nodes move along predefined paths (e.g. suspended monorail). RCoax radiating cables or directional antennas must be used for this purpose.

Linking in an automated guided vehicle system using iPCF with the SCALANCE W722-1 RJ45
iPCF-MC (iPCF Management Channel)
1):
iPCF-MC is available as a further development of iPCF. This mode should be used if IWLAN stations that also support iPCF-MC move freely about in the radio link (especially when using omni-directional antennas) and are to exchange data deterministically. This functionality can only be achieved in connection with access points with two wireless interfaces and the KEY-PLUG.
Note:
These iFeatures cannot be used in parallel.
iPRP (Industrial Parallel Redundancy Protocol)
Spatial barriers, poor wireless coverage or interference often lead to disturbances. Also, the duration of the roaming process cannot generally be predicted. It is factors like these which often lead to a breakdown in communications. These problems can occur in all mobile applications, such as in automatic guided vehicle (AGV) systems, for example. Railway applications in which client modules in moving trains communicate with the access points on the trackside must also meet special requirements. The iPRP iFeature facilitates the use of redundancy technology for parallel utilization of dual radio links in wireless networks. This supplementary function facilitates redundant communication over two IWLAN links, even with moving applications. Disruptions to radio link data transfer are compensated for by parallel transmission on a second line. Whenever the roaming process is delayed or interference occurs, communication continues to run smoothly via this second route. This function can be activated via KEY-PLUG/CLP.
Diagnostics and management
- Web-based management tool (HTTP/HTTPS) for configuration and diagnostics using a standard web browser
- LEDs for signaling operating status and fault/error states
- Signaling of faults by means of SNMP trap or email to a network management tool
- Configuration and diagnostics using web-based management, command line interface, and SNMP. Devices and networks can be configured using STEP 7 (TIA Portal). For cyclic monitoring, diagnostics and documentation (reporting) in network mode, the SINEMA Server software is recommended.
