3.1 Introduction
The modules of the DATAEAGLE 4000 series have been specially developed for
the transmission of Ethernet via radio.
Depending on the device type, transmission has been optimised for Ethernet,
PROFINET, PROFIsafe, EtherNet/IP and openSAFETY via UDP. Some device
variants are multi-protocol compliant. Details on this can be found in the chapter
8
Different radio technologies, such as Bluetooth 2.4 GHz or 869 / 915 MHz
in the unlicensed band, are used for transmission. Due to the integrated data
pre-processing, the fieldbus communication can be configured like a cable. For
example, with PROFINET the IO cycle can be set to 1 ms.
In addition, the wireless systems are easy to connect and put into operation like
a cable - plug & play.
There are 2 different housing variants Compact (IP 20) for control cabinet
mounting and X-treme (IP65) for use in direct industrial environments or
outdoors.
Our software DATAEAGLE Wizard allows a quick set-up of the essential
settings, such as radio parameters. The commissioning is therefore done in a
very short time.
3.2 Operating principle DATAEAGLE 4000
The DATAEAGLE 4000 is suitable for the transparent transmission of Ethernet
data via radio.
Point-to-point as well as multipoint systems can be configured.
Radio interference can be suppressed via the filter time that can be configured in
the master. Only after this time has elapsed do the fieldbus stations detect a bus
fault. All interruptions of the communication within the filter time are suppressed
and the plant availability is thus increased.
A too high configured filter time (factory setting: 2 seconds), can lead to
a delayed shutdown reaction of the connected devices in case of an error.
Therefore, please check whether the system with the set filter time matches the
required reaction speed.
