What is the possible transmission range with Bluetooth?
We get this question asked a lot and and mostly people think that the transmission range is quite low. And of course this is due to the fact that #Bluetooth is a consumer technology and mainly used for device communication such as headphones. So…
How do antennas influence the range of radio systems?
"Many of our customers are finding that a Bluetooth wireless connection can transmit up to 1km." The point is this: A wireless module is a very important part of any wireless solution, but its main function is to convert signals from PLCs…
How does DATAEAGLE differ from other radio systems?
Patented technology: The worldwide unique DATAEAGLE radio system performs patented data pre-processing and thus avoids bus errors. Download the white paper here or watch our film about it. Processing of data packets: Pre-processing reconstructs…
What is Ethernet/IP?
Ethernet/IP is an industrial protocol based on the standard Ethernet and used for automation technology. It enables fast and reliable transmission of data in real time and seamless integration of different devices and systems. Ethernet/IP…
Does Ethernet/IP work via radio?
Yes, Ethernet/IP can be transmitted via radio. The DATAEAGLE 4000 - Wireless Ethernet product line offers wireless transmission technology for industrial networks that is specially optimised for Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP…
Does the DATAEAGLE radio data transmission system offer a diagnostic function for EtherNet/IP?
Yes. The intelligent DATAEAGLE radio data systems from Schildknecht are not only a reliable solution for the wireless transmission of fieldbus protocol data, but also have an integrated diagnostic function for EtherNet/IP data communication.…
What radio solutions are available for Ethernet/IP and CIP Safety?
The DATAEAGLE 4000 series from Schildknecht offers a wireless transmission solution for Ethernet/IP and CIP safety protocols. DATAEAGLE 4000 - Wireless Safety was developed for applications where a safe and robust transmission of data is required.…
What is CIP Safety?
CIP Safety stands for "Common Industrial Protocol Safety" and is a protocol that was specially developed for safe data transmission in industry. It is part of the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) framework developed by the Open DeviceNet Vendor…
Do I have to integrate the radio via the device description file?
No. The DATAEAGLE radio data transmission systems from Schildknecht do not have to be integrated into the control system via a device description file (e.g. GSDML for PROFINET or GSD for PROFIBUS). They act like a cable substitute and are transparent…
Do fieldbus update times have to be adjusted for DATAEAGLE radio systems?
Luckily not. The fieldbus update time of the controller is usually 1ms (e.g. with PROFINET). With all radio systems except DATAEAGLE, this fieldbus update time must be adjusted due to latency in order to achieve stable radio communication. As…
