Smart wireless data transmission as a replacement for slip rings, cable chains, and cables
Avoid Downtime Due to Repairs and Maintenance
Broken cables, worn-out slip rings, and data transmission errors are the main causes of unplanned plant downtime. Troubleshooting costs maintenance personnel time and frustration; for operators, it results in high costs for maintenance, repairs, and lost production. All of this must be avoided to ensure consistently high productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cable breaks are caused by constant movement and are physically unavoidable. A wear-free alternative is wireless data transmission via radio. The DATAEAGLE wireless data transmission system replaces cable connections one-to-one, thereby eliminating cable breaks, maintenance, and unplanned downtime. It can be installed very easily by connectinga power supply to a data cable — , Profibus, or Profinet, for example.
Slip rings and drag chains transmit data via mechanical components and are therefore inevitably subject to wear and tear. A good alternative eliminates this wear and the resulting disruptions. A wireless solution completely avoids this vulnerability. DATAEAGLE replaces these systems with a maintenance-free wireless solution and ensures a consistently stable connection. Through comprehensive consultation upfront, we can guarantee the stability and security of the connection.
Many wireless systems require adjustments to the control system or infrastructure. For industrial applications, however, it is crucial that the solution behaves just like a cable. The only wireless system that meets this criterion is DATAEAGLE, because patented software within the wireless system makes this possible. A DATAEAGLE can be integrated without any modifications to the PLC or network and functions just like a cable—only it is stable and reliable, with no wear and tear and no maintenance required.
High costs are primarily caused by maintenance, replacement parts, and unplanned equipment downtime. Eliminating these causes significantly improves the cost-effectiveness of a machine or system. DATAEAGLE reduces downtime and maintenance costs and sustainably increases system availability. The service life of a DATAEAGLE is 20–25 years without any maintenance cycles.
For many wireless solutions , adjustments to the PLC or the network arenecessary, which results inadditional effort . DATAEAGLE isdesigned so that installation can be performedby a electrician — without changes to the PLC or programming.
