Industrial remote communication

Worldwide remote access to machines and systems

Industrial remote communication
Securely connecting distributed stations with the control room is made possible with
the versatile possibilities of remote communication. Remote communication enables
access as well as continuous process data monitoring from the central station.
Remote maintenance involves temporary access to a system or machine. In contrast
to remote maintenance, remote control requires a permanent connection to a
remote station in the vast majority of cases. Various alert systems ensure the timely
notification of a wide range of operating states and enable the reliable availability of
your system.

Remote control with wireless systems
With wireless systems, you can easily record measuring data and system information
from distant or poorly accessible areas and transfer it to central points.
Remote control technology is a reliable and inexpensive alternative to new cable paths,
particularly if new system components are to be installed or defective communication
cables replaced. The wireless modules have various interfaces, and can thus act as a
gateway between local sensors and process station actuators and the control center.

Your advantages
 Quick and easy commissioning without programming
 Easy point-to-point or network connections
(star, mesh)
 Can be extended with up to 32 I/O modules per
station via DIN rail connector (hot-swap capability)
 Adjustable wireless interface data rates
 128-bit data encryption (AES)

The Radioline system – easy signal distribution with I/O mapping

Radioline is the Phoenix Contact transmission system for extended
systems and networks with up to 250 stations. Special features
include extremely easy assignment of inputs and outputs by simply
turning the thumbwheel – without any programming.

Radioline features:
• Quick and easy commissioning without programming
• Easy point-to-point or network connections

• Modular station structure with up to 32 I/O modules per station
via DIN rail connectors
• Transmission of I/O signals and serial data
• Trusted Wireless technology
• Can be combined with RS-485 stations

• Easy module replacement, even during
operation (hot-swap capability)
• Channel-to-channel electrical isolation
• Extended temperature range:

Remote control via the cellular network
For the continuous acquisition of your process data, Phoenix Contact offers cellular
devices which support all carrier technologies, from SMS texts through to data
communication via GPRS/EDGE (2G), UMTS/HSPA (3G), and LTE (4G). With the
globally available cellular network, the devices become a reliable communicator, even in
areas with a weak infrastructure.
The smallest remote stations and entire system parks, such as remote pumping
stations, can be connected to the control center using methods spanning from SMS
over remote control protocols at low-data rates to broadband VPN connection,
depending on the communication requirements.

distributed infrastructures is analyzed in
Proficloud and made comparable with other
significant parameters. Thus, for example,
a wastewater pumping station can be
operated efficiently on demand.
Status and operational messages are
sent to the control room via an Internet
connection. Further information such
as weather data can be received via the
Proficloud from higher-level equipment to
aid optimum operation. In addition, for
example, pump operating data on lifecycle
or energy management can be combined so
that this information can be used efficiently
for predictive maintenance.
