Case Study 1
A car and truck plant had an extensive Ethernet 
network throughout it’s site. Two buildings are
separated from the rest of the site by a railway line,
so ASDL telephone modems were used to conenct the network. This link gave poor performance for real-time data acquisition.
ELPRO Industrial Wireless Ethernet units were used
to replace the telephone links and gave much
improved operating reliability.
Case Study 2
A pharmaceutical packaging company wanted wireless
connection to a PLC on a rotary packer to transfer status
and alarm data between the packer and rest of the factory
PLC system. Unfrotunately the PLC on the rotary packer only
had Profibus communications while the factory PLC system
used EtherNet IP.
They selected ELPRO’s Wireless Gateway range. A 
Gateway with Profibus Master finctionality was installed
into the packer and an EtherNet IP Gateway connected
to the PLC network. The wireless system was later
enlarged to connect other peripheral PLC-controlled
drives to the main PLC network.
Case Study 3
A large manufacturer of pressurized spray can
products installed ELPRO Wireless I/O units as
part of an emergency evacuation alarm system.
The wireless units were installed quickly and at a
much loer cost than a wired system. The system
uses ELPRO’s unique WIBnet self-checking protocol
to provide the high level of reliability and security
required for this application
