Niranjan Prasad Posts: 691 Rating: (37)	Dear Forum Members, I got an application where I have to communicate one remote ET200M( IM 153 DP) Module with the help of Antenna (IWLAN). I am having doubt whether it will work or not As the Profibus Data is converted to Ethernet and then to wireless through Antenna Please Explain in Details how to work with this type of application Any other solution will be appreciated Attachment Configuration.jpg (134 Downloads)

If I'm correct distance is 150m with Siemens solution. I think (but this is only my oppinion) cheaper and more reliable is to use powerful WiFi and ethernet CP <--------> ET200 with profinet. But I think you allready have hardware and has no posibility to change it. So it might look IWLAN is only sollution, but in that case I prefer optical cable anyway. I think IWLAN solution is good with moving equipment and when distances is not high. How long is your distance ?

They are described here: http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/view/full/8664 More information is available on the links on the right of the page. Of course you will have to take line-of-site distances and antennas into consideration, as well as allowaed frquencies in your part of the world. Prosoft has an excellent support record, and they could help you configure the application. I have modified your initial diagram to show how you could use it with the Prolinx Gateways. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier Attachment Wireless PB Configuration.jpg (129 Downloads)

There are the PROFIBUS OLM with electrical interface (RS485) and optical interface (BFOC). For exampleyou can use this components to overcome the distance between S7 station and ET 200M with optical cable. Attachment MN_OLMV4_0.zip (104 Downloads)

Thanx for the reply Darius, For your information Distance for the two stations is 30 mtr approx Please Explain How the profibus data will be converted to wireless and again back to profibus? And Also do I need any additional tool for this purpose?

And Also do I need any additional tool for this purpose? I don't really know how is protocol converted, but I think it's the same way as Profibus/Ethernet converter. And additionally you don't need to buy special tools for this purpose.
