• Wired communication via Ethernet, Internet, 2/4 wire cables (SHDSL), dialup modems or dedicated line modem
• Frame buffer for seamless recording of data
• Support of redundant communication paths
• Easy configuration in the TIA Portal

Benefits

• Protection of investment by combining existing conventional networks with IP-based networks by means of flexible options for connection of up to four telecontrol networks
• Low-cost construction of the control center by direct connection as independent device to a DSL router, made possible by the integrated MSC protocol
• High availability of the connections due to possible redundant design of the communication paths
• Reliable back-up of important data. Storage of data frames (max. 100 000) including time stamp on TIM or SIMATIC Memory Card in the case of communication path malfunctions
• Easy maintenance through replacement of modules without PG

Application

• Use as self-contained central station for the low-cost automation of water/wastewater networks with both complex and simple structures
• Control and monitoring of energy distribution systems and supply stations, such as oil, gas or district heating networks
• Preventive maintenance (condition monitoring) of globally distributed systems
• Monitoring of logistics and traffic control systems
• Connection of plants with basic or high-level security and availability requirements
• Use in hybrid networks with dial-up, wireless, Ethernet or Internet communications
