Wireless LAN access point and infrastructure mode
Energy saving, maintenance free LED lights
Bright and even illumination
Number and color of LED modules can be freely combined
The IT40SW, IT50SW and IT60SW Series are preassembled tower lights of 40-mm, 50-mm and 60-mm diameter LED modules with wireless LAN connectivity. The wireless LAN access point built in the IP 65 protected tower light is a simple and practical solution for status remote monitoring, data logging and supervisory control of manufacturing equipment and processes in harsh industrial environment.
The wireless LAN capability complying with IEEE 802.11b/g/n allows a wide compatibility with remote I/O modules and web-enabled data loggers, thus realizing versatile applications such as data acquisition and control of multiple machines by single master PLC located in one without needing hardwiring between each of them, or event notification to tablet devices with texts and images from manufacturing equipment.
The LED lights are controlled either by local contact inputs or by a host PLC/PC via Modbus/TCP network.
Application Examples
Remote monitoring and control of an equipment using mobile interface
When an abnormality occurs in a manufacturing equipment built with a web-enabled remote terminal, alarm status information including images and texts can be sent to tablets and smart phones via a Wireless LAN tower light. (Customer's application software needed to communicate with tablets)
No hardwiring between multiple sets of equipment to monitor and control by a single master PLC
Multiple slave machines can be monitored and controlled by a single master PLC via Wireless LAN network.
