Industrial Communication
Industrial communication products are network and interface hardware that lets PLCs, drives, meters and field devices exchange data with each other and with higher-level systems. They are used for monitoring, remote access and data collection in panel and field networks, over Modbus RTU on RS-485, Ethernet-based networks, AS-Interface and wireless connections such as GSM or RF. This category lists Siemens AS-Interface hardware directly: digital and analog input/output modules in IP67 and IP20 protection ratings, an addressing device and mounting accessories. The subgroups include industrial Ethernet switches, gateways, serial communication converters, wireless modems, antennas and panel-mount USB and RJ45 connections. Choose the product by the protocol and physical interface of the existing network, the number of ports or inputs and outputs, the supply voltage, the IP rating and the mounting style. On some AS-Interface modules, the mounting plate does not come with the product and is ordered separately; check the hardware information on the product page.
