Test of Schildknecht wireless PROFINET solution between SIMATIC S7-1200 and ET 200S

Wireless PROFINET

Wireless PROFINET is often considered a “complicated solution” suitable only for special applications. In practice, however, there are many situations where wireless communication makes perfect sense — for example for machine retrofits, moving parts of machines, carousel systems, or anywhere cabling is problematic, expensive, or prone to failures.

Test setup

In our test, we connected the following devices wirelessly:

  • Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC
  • remote I/O Siemens ET 200S
  • using a pair of wireless modules DATAEAGLE Bluetooth 2.4 GHz series 4000

The goal was to verify whether PROFINET IO communication can be transmitted transparently, without any changes to the PLC program and without complex configuration.
