SCALANCE network components
4.6 SCALANCE W components for the Industrial Wireless LAN
The access points and client devices of the SCALANCE W1700 product line support the
IEEE 802.11ac standard. These devices are intended to set up Industrial Wireless LAN
(IWLAN) wireless networks for 5 GHz. You use the 4 x 4 Multi-User MIMO technology
(Multiple Input Multiple Output) and Wave 2 that let you reach transmission speeds of up to
1733 Mbps (gross). The access points are equipped with two M12 ports for Gigabit Ethernet;
one of them can be used as a PoE port according to IEEE 802.3at Type 2.
The devices are suitable for installation outside the control cabinet. The following types of
installation are possible: Installation on standard DIN rail, on the S7-300 and S7-1500
standard rail or directly on the wall. The devices have a rugged metal enclosure in IP65
degree of protection with connection jacks for bolted or locked plug-in connectors and thus
fulfil the requirements when it comes to mechanical stability through shock and vibration.
The EEC variant of the device has coated PCBs (conformal coating) and is suitable for use
at ambient temperatures of -40 °C to +75 °C and in the railway environment.
The devices with connections to external antennas are equipped with 4 or 8 N-Connect jacks
for directly mounted and detached antennas. For SCALANCE W1788-2IA, the 8 MIMO
antennas are inside the housing.
All devices have a slot for the optional CLP with which additional functions can be enabled.
