PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SIEMENS 6GK5798-8MC00-0AC1 - SCALANCE W788 iFeatures Plug-in Card
SIEMENS 6GK5798-8MC00-0AC1 is an iFeatures plug-in card engineered to augment the capabilities of SIEMENS SCALANCE W788-1 M12 and W788-2 M12 Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) Access Points/Clients. This module enables advanced functionalities such as deterministic real-time communication (iPCF-MC), network redundancy (iREF), and Network Address Translation (iNAT), critical for high-performance wireless connectivity in demanding industrial automation and mobile application scenarios. It provides the necessary infrastructure for secure and reliable data exchange in complex control systems.
Technical Specifications:
- SERIES/FAMILY: SCALANCE W700 (specifically W788 series)
- COMPONENT TYPE: iFeatures Plug-in Card
- ELECTRICAL SPECS: Powered by host SCALANCE W788 device no independent power supply required.
- MECHANICAL/PHYSICAL: Compact module designed for internal slot integration within compatible SCALANCE W788 units. Form factor optimized for secure internal mounting.
- INTERFACE/CONTROL: Enables advanced software functionalities for the host IWLAN device, including iPCF-MC (Industrial Point Coordination Function - Motion Control) for deterministic wireless communication, iREF (Industrial Redundancy Function) for enhanced network availability, and iNAT (Industrial Network Address Translation). Supports advanced security protocols (e.g., WPA2/WPA3, IEEE 802.1X/RADIUS) and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities via the host unit's management interface.
- ENVIRONMENTAL/MOUNTING: Operates within the environmental specifications of the host SCALANCE W788 device (e.g., IP65/IP67 for M12 variants, extended temperature ranges). Internal mounting within a dedicated slot.
- COMPATIBILITY/APPLICATION: Designed for exclusive integration with SIEMENS SCALANCE W788-1 M12 and SCALANCE W788-2 M12 Industrial Wireless LAN Access Points/Clients. Essential for applications demanding real-time wireless communication, high network availability, and robust security in sectors such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), material handling systems, mobile robotics, and distributed control systems within harsh industrial environments.
