The following variants are available in accordance with customer requirements:
● SLG D10 with
– ANT D5
– ANT D6
– ANT D10
● SLG D11 with
– ANT D2
– ANT D5
● SLG D12 with integral antenna
The rugged housing and high degree of protection (IP65) permit use even under the
toughest industrial conditions.
Design and function
The SLG is connected over a serial interface (RS 232) of the PC that supports
communication with PCs or non-Siemens PLCs. Commands and the data to be written or
read must be converted through an appropriate modulator/demodulator circuit.
The transmittable quantity of information between SLG and MDS depends on:
● The speed at which the MDS moves through the transmission window (determined by the
antenna) of the SLG
● The length of the transmission window
Use of the C++ library supports rapid programming of the SLG using applications executing
under Windows 9x/2000, NT 4.0 and XP.

Definition of IP65:
● Protection against the ingress of dust (dustproof)
● Complete touch protection
● Protection against water jets
