Data transmission
The type of data to be transmitted and therefore the packet size, e.g. I/O data or image or video.
Requirements for industrial wireless solutions
Industrial wireless solutions must meet a number of requirements to function efficiently and reliably in a manufacturing environment. First, they must be robust and reliable to ensure they do not fail over time. They must also support a high data rate to meet the demands of manufacturing processes. In addition, they must have low latency to ensure that data is transferred quickly and automation technology requirements are achieved.
Another important factor to consider when selecting an industrial wireless solution is range. A good wireless solution must have sufficient range to ensure that data can be transmitted throughout the manufacturing environment. In addition, the wireless solution must support a high bandwidth to ensure continuous data transmission.
Stable radio connection in focus
Especially applications in automation technology with rotating or linear motion are predestined for industrial wireless solutions. From our experience, we know that the choice of wireless technology and the frequency used depends on various factors that are ultimately responsible for whether the system runs stably.
Our DATAEAGLE wireless system is the solution that meets all the requirements for industrial wireless solutions. With the modern radio technology and simple setup, it is child’s play to keep the connections reliable and secure. Experience unsurpassed radio quality and fast and secure data transmission. With DATAEAGLE you have the best radio technology for your industrial applications. We work with Bluetooth 5 (2.4 GHz) and 869/915 MHz radio technologies.
Industrial Wireless – Bluetooth 5 as a robust wireless technology
We have been working with Bluetooth in mechanical and plant engineering as a communication solution for industrial wireless for over 20 years. Bluetooth is extremely resistant to interference in the frequency band and enables reliable operation in parallel with other Bluetooth or WLAN applications. The result is reliable and safe wireless connections for fieldbus communication and are therefore also suitable for safety communication, e.g. PROFIsafe CIP Safety.
We check the following points for every Industrial Wireless project: Network topology, security, range, compatibility, cost and reliability. Each of these points is important for your project to be successful!

With our radio data transmission systems, you can achieve fast and reliable data transmission over long distances without having to compromise on data quality or reliability.
You can read more about radio compared to other wireless data transmission technologies in our blog article.
Industrial Wireless – unique in the market
What our customers appreciate most is, on the one hand, the Plug & Play functionality, because from the control system’s point of view, the radio link behaves like a cable and therefore does not need to be parameterised. On the other hand, the high availability of the patented DATAEAGLE industrial wireless solution is also convincing in safety applications, using PROFIsafe or CIPSafety, and enables smooth operation without downtimes due to radio interruptions. Give your wireless solution that little bit extra: with the Schildknecht commissioning guarantee, you receive professional, powerful and convincing support during installation. The DATAEAGLE radio data systems stand for a long service life, freedom from maintenance and guarantee a stable connection between controls and IO modules for permanent availability of machines and systems without downtimes.

DATAEAGLE – DATENFUNKSYSTEME DER SCHILDKNECHT AG
Industrial Wireless – Connectivity without limits! For over 40 years, at the same time as PROFIBUS, Schildknecht AG has been a device manufacturer and system provider for industrial wireless data transmission. The core competence lies in patented, highly stable radio transmission of data, as required in crane and stage technology, water management and cable cars or self-propelled transport vehicles (AGVs), among others. Further demand is currently arising in the context of IIoT or Industry 4.0. Schildknecht is developing radio data transmission systems for use with PROFINET, PROFIBUS or PROFIsafe using Bluetooth or mobile radio (2G, 3G, 4G) under the DATAEAGLE product brand for this diverse “wireless market”.

STB Steuerungstechnik Beck
“The lift was approved for operation by TÜV without any rework shortly before the Four Hills Tournament. “After the first 2 years, we found that the availability of the lift was almost 100%.”
Ralph Püschel, Kabel Sterner GmbH
“We were initially somewhat sceptical about the changeover from slip ring to radio technology, given the special requirements. However, the prospect of greater operational reliability made us take this step after all, and we were not disappointed.”
Steffen Boschert, Owner SWL
“We were very satisfied with the quality and reliability of the radio systems used and especially the support from Schildknecht. With the radio modules used, the required safety standards according to DIN 56950-1 1 could be achieved.”
Wireless Ethernet – DATAEAGLE 4000
The latest product – the DATAEAGLE 4000 – is best suited for use in Ethernet networks, where it supports wireless transmission of the PROFINET and EtherNET/IP protocols. Depending on the application, Bluetooth 5 wireless technology is used in most cases, as it provides the stability and speed required in industrial automation solutions.

Wireless SAFETY – DATAEAGLE 3000 and 4000
From our point of view, wireless safety applications are the supreme discipline, because the time requirements of safety protocols such as PROFIsafe, CIPSafety or openSAFETY cannot actually be met by a normal wireless solution. Nevertheless, with our patented pre-processing, we have created a system that not only makes WIRELESS safety applications possible, but also enables stable and secure data communication.
The DATAEAGLE 3000 and 4000 radio systems are used in inclined lifts, cranes, transport systems and many other applications.

Antenna technology and accessories
Antennas and antenna cables have a strong influence on the quality of a radio connection, which is why we recommend using high-quality antennas and also antenna cables for all applications. In addition, we advise which antenna is best suited for the respective application. In addition to omnidirectional antennas, there are directional antennas that can be used to significantly increase the range of a point-to-point connection, for example.
Discover all products from the antenna range here. There you will also find the comprehensive Antennas 1Mal1 with lots of valuable and practical information.
