Included
in the various Westermo Handbooks
are a comprehensive overview
of the theoretical
parts of data communication as well as
an in-depth presentation of Westermo's vast product offering.
Furthermore, there
is a selection of application examples in
each Handbook which will help to make it easier
to identify an application
and what type of
an industrial data communication solution is needed.
This
edition, Handbook 5.0, differs from all the
previous editions. Due to the huge
growth of the Westermo product range, this
edition is divided into easier to use sections. They
are:
*
Remote Access
*
Industrial Ethernet
*
Local Industrial Data Communications
*
Theoretical and General Applications
REMOTE
ACCESS - The ability to create remote connections
to equipment can provide companies savings,
both in time and money. Not only this,
but improved customer service can also be
offered. It is possible to control,
monitor and update software, regardless
of where the equipment is located, by means
of a simple remote connection.
INDUSTRIAL
ETHERNET - Ethernet as a data communications
standard has been with us for many years
and is the basis for the vast majority of
office and industrial networks around the
world today. Despite many claims over
the years that it will be superseded, it
continues to evolve and offer the features
that user's require and as such will
be used for many years to come.
LOCAL
INDUSTRIAL DATA COMMUNICATION - According
to our definition, local communication concerns
everything from extending the distance between
two serially connected units, to the creation
of an industrial network via fiber or RS-485. The
common denominator for these networks is
they have their own wiring. Over the
years, our range of equipment for local communications
has grown and today we can offer solutions
for virtually all applications irrespective
of media.
