  • Robust industrial design
Transparent communication

Wireless Bridge for PROFINET

The solution transmits Ethernet communication wirelessly between two points of the machine or plant and is suitable wherever a moving cable or problematic connection needs to be replaced.

Design a solution
Moving applications

Carriages, AGVs, Cranes and Moving Parts

Wireless PROFINET is used where equipment travels, shifts or regularly changes its position relative to the rest of the machine or production technology.

Discuss the application
Rotating machine parts

Rotary Tables, Carousels and Reels

In many applications, a wireless connection can reduce cable wear and simplify machine design where a part rotates continuously or repeatedly.

Where does wireless PROFINET make sense and what should be considered in advance?

Wireless PROFINET Is Not Office Wi-Fi

Industrial wireless communication for Ethernet and PROFINET is intended for technical applications where stability, robustness and predictable operation are important. Typical applications connect a fixed part of a machine or plant to a moving part.

A correct design depends on distance, line of sight between the points, metal obstacles, movement speed, antenna installation and data-transmission requirements.

  • Transmission of PROFINET and other Ethernet data
  • Connection of moving and rotating parts
  • Replacement for drag cables and slip rings
  • Suitable for retrofits and new machines
  • Correct antenna design and positioning are important
  • The environment and interference must be considered

What We Usually Discuss with You

Application typeRotary table, carriage, shuttle, crane, AGV, reel or another moving technology.
Distance and movementHow far apart the two sides are, how they move and whether there is a direct line of sight.
Communication requirementsWhich data must be transmitted, how sensitive the application is to latency and what stability is required.
CommissioningSupport with device selection, positioning, basic commissioning and functional verification.
