Industrial communication and control technology increasingly determine the efficiency and capability of machines, plants and building automation. In industrial control applications, RF technology serves remote monitoring and control operations where cabled communication is difficult, impossible or simply too expensive. The advantages of wireless connectivity become apparent from an example of process engineering: Spread over a large site, levels and control commands are to be measured and transmitted to a control system on the other side of the street. Digging trenches, laying cable runs and installing cables involves high costs. A radio link, on the other hand, is fast to install and creates a hassle-free communication solution at a fraction of the cost of the wired alternative.

Machine-to-machine communication

M2M is the automatic or programmed transfer of data between two (or more) machines/devices by means of a network that facilitates remote monitoring and controlling. By using a radio module network, machines and workstations can be made independent from cabling. This enables flexible workspaces and easy layout changes.
