beard Posts: 18 Rating: (1)	Dear Expert and all members, I plan to install S71200 in a rotating cage (Strander cable machine) to sense wire break for each bobin. My question and worry is, how resist this S71200 series agaist vibration? Is it tough enogh for such application? I read technical specification of S71200 vibration resistance (1G or 2G depend on mounting) but I don't understand what It means. Please advice. Thank you. regards, Amo

I have seenwifi, Bluetooth and RF wireless solutions for wireless I/O. Maybe one of those will work in your application. There is a more rugged spec s7-1200 setup that has a larger temperature range and more protection. The vibrations specs may be better and might work in your application. Look in the available s7-1200 modules for the more rugged devices and check their specs. As to 1G == force due soley due to gravity. 2G is twice the force due to gravity. With the way the device is manufactured and the terminals just snap into place, I would not think the s7-1200 would work well in a high vibration environment.

Thank you The modules I have used are universal modules. You select the amount of I/O, purchase the transceiver into your PLC locally. The remote wireless transceiver connects to your field devices. Once thing to worry about is to ensure you can kill the power on loss of connectivity. To do that, I used a single bit of output and wired it to an input. The plc toggled the output, monitored the input, and if it quite toggling, it would activate a fast stop action. Since these modules were not Siemens, I choose not to post on these forums. I have not memorized their terms of use, but it may get my post edited or deleted if I did so.
