Application examples
System solution for nutrunner controls with RCoax cable and
SCALANCE W788-1 RJ45
Wireless solutions with RCoax cable are typically used in the
following applications:
• Crane control
• Overhead monorail conveyors
• Storage and retrieval systems
• Automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS)
An example of an application with a suspended monorail is a
nutrunner controller in a car assembly plant.
An RCoax radiating cable is used along the coding rail to estab-
lish wireless data transfer between the monorail and the central
controller. It generates a reliable wireless field and is easy to lay.
The RCoax cable is connected as an antenna to a stationary
SCALANCE W788-1 RJ45 access point with KEY-PLUG W780 i
Features. This means that the same mobile unit can be used for
all applications so that a mobile nutrunner can be used for
several clock cycles resulting in lower investment costs.
Maintenance costs and downtimes are reduced by having
reliable wireless data transmission to mobile communications
partners without any wear and tear.
Downtimes are reduced because if a fault occurs, devices can
be replaced without a programming device or specialist person-
nel by using the KEY-PLUG/ C-PLUG swap medium.
