Designed by Siemens, Simatic Net industrial communication improves performance of production processes.
SIMATIC NET allows you to integrate a system for transmission of data between the various equipment units, combining industrial automation control system in one network. SIMATIC NET is based on the Industrial Ethernet and offers a wide range of components for the implementation in highly efficient industrial networks and data systems.
The SIMATIC NET family consists of different subnets such as Industrial Ethernet based on communication standard IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and IEEE 802.11 (Wireless LAN). It allows data transmission over long distances, is a reliable network. PROFINET based on industrial Ethernet standard, allows you to communicate with Simatic controllers and Motion drives in real time. It is compatible with other subnets allows you to integrate with the Profibus standard. Another communication type is Industrial Mobile Communication, which works in wireless standard. This is the type of mobile networks, useful in harsh industrial environment. The PROFIBUS network is the standard for communication and data exchange between the controller and peripheral components, not only manufactured by Siemens but it allows you to connect with various I/O modules. An interesting solution applied in industrial Communication Simatic Net is a AS-Interface network . It can be used to connect sensors and actuators. As-Interface is single master system. SINAUT ST7 System is dedicated for data collection using the WAN-Wide Area Network. SINAUT ST7 family is used with SIMATIC S7 devices. Network adapters Network transitions facilitates the connection between different devices e.g. PLC Simatic, PC computers, working in standards: Industrial Ethernet, PROFIBUS, AS-Interface.
