Hello Chris, The range depends on the used antennas and the environment. I would advice you to use different antennas then the basic ones. For example the ANT793-6MN with a short antenna cable (2 meter) or the ANT795-6MN antenna with a short antenna cable. This last one is looking nice to. Then you can have the same ranges as with the Scalance W clients is possible. When using iPCF it is possible to have 4 ET200PRO IWLAN's connected to one Scalance W which support iPCF. To get a possible PN IO update timeI would ask you to have a look at the following document. There you can see that it must be more then 32 ms due to the Omni-Directional antennas. Guideline for the Use of Industrial Wireless LAN in a PROFINET IO Environment So it depends on your environment and interferences in the area how big your range could be. You could use SINEMA-E to plan this it will give you an idea how it worksout in your application. |
