Simatic Net

Industrial Communication: More Efficiency Based on Proven Standards
 
Industrial communication with products and systems from Siemens ensure greater company-wide efficiency. Our best-in-class components like SIMATIC NET are based on proven standards, which allow you to implement powerful, integrated data networks that are "future-proof". From simple sensor connecting to plantwide quality and productions data acquisition and transmission - our comprehensive industrial  communications solutions allow efficient integration of all company areas into one coherent system. 
 
Industrial Ethernet 
 
Specifically tailored to industrial requirements SIMATIC NET is based on Industrial Ethernet and offers a broad range of components to implement highly efficient industrial networks and bus systems. Our high-performance, “future-proof” network components are reliable in tough
industrial environments and our cabling system is engineered for speedy onsite assembly. 

Industrial Wireless Communication
 
Industrial Wireless Communication Is Setting Benchmarks Industrial wireless communication opens up many new possibilities for highly flexible and efficient automation solutions. Whether for remote networks, IWLAN, WirelessHART, or WiMAX, Siemens products for industrial wireless communication are reliable, robust and secure.

PROFINET
More flexibility, efficiency and performance
 
It also helps businesses operate more successfully. Providing maximum flexibility, it offers you more freedom for tailored machine and plant concepts. Its high-level efficiency lets you optimally utilize available resources. 

PROFIBUS
The fieldbus for all industrial automation tasks 
 
The communication bus can be adapted to the most diverse applications following a modular concept and proves its worth in all segments of discrete automation and the process industries.  The communication bus has proves itself all over the world and can be used in all production and process steps.
 
IO-Link 
IO-Link closes the gap in communication on the last steps to the process
 
Consistent automation is only possible with sensors and actuators. The smart connection of sensors and substations to the control level ensures precise and profitable production. The communication standard IO-Link is ideally suited to this purpose. Integrating all components is simplified by IO-Link in switchboards and IO-Link on the field level. 
 
Industrial Remote Communication
Remote monitoring – secure and flexible
 
Industrial plants are frequently widely scattered – sometimes even across countries and borders. With telecontrol and teleservice, Siemens offers proven solutions for industrial remote communication. Thanks to higher bandwidth, the new UMTS SCALANCE M routers also enable additional applications,  e.g. video surveillance, condition monitoring and smart grids.
