WiFi Integration with EtherNet/IP and Profinet

19-Jun-2011
To further improve their BAT Industrial WiFi / WLAN from Hirschmannwireless ethernet range, Belden has announced the release of HiLCOS 8.50 firmware.
This version permits WLAN access points and clients to be integrated into Ethernet/IP and Profinet networks without requiring additional management software, thus allowing flexible administration. In the future, HiLCOS 8.50 firmware will be offered as a standard for all devices in the Hirschmann BAT54 and BAT300 series. In addition, the firmware will shortly be available as a free-of-charge download from this web site (link posted here when available) enabling customers to update older access points and clients.

The use of protocol stacks for Profinet I/O and the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) from Ethernet/IP makes it possible to visualise access points via the network controllers. In that way, WLAN devices can be both easily configured and securely monitored. Further, the firmware provides a number of WLAN-specific functions including signal strength and data rate of the wireless connection which are also available via the controllers. It is also possible to define threshold values and link these to alarms.

Belden's introduction of HiLCOS 8.50 will give further impetus to the successful use of WLAN in industrial environments. Daanet sales specialist Adam Rickards notes: "Ethernet I/P and Profinet are currently used in around 30 percent of all automation systems worldwide. This new firmware means WLAN networks can now be used easily with such systems, complementing the accessibility to network information provided already by compliant switches and routers".
