Wireless ETHERNET/IP and PROFINET - Good is not good enough for us.
Wireless Ethernet/IP and Profinet are industrial communication protocols that are used in automated systems. Both technologies are standardized, versatile and designed to reliably connect machines, devices and systems - also suitable for wireless networks.
The wireless use of these protocols brings flexibility to the infrastructure. Ideal for mobile devices or areas that are difficult to access. Saves cables and installation effort. Devices can be moved freely (e.g. driverless transport systems).
The path to the networked industry of the future.
ETHERNET/IP is the industry standard protocol for high-performance real-time communication based on proven Ethernet technology. Developed for smart factory automation, it connects PLCs, sensors and actuators efficiently and reliably.
Whether material handling or production systems - Ethernet/IP ensures seamless processes. With wireless integration, it brings flexibility to mobile applications such as driverless transport systems or robotics and paves the way for the networked industry of the future.
The DATAEAGLE radio data transmission systems also offer maximum flexibility and simple plug & play installation.
Maximum performance in real-time communication
ETHERNET seamlessly connects controllers, machines and systems and shines in applications with maximum precision, such as robotics or CNC controls. Ethernet sets standards for efficiency and synchronization, especially in the process industry.
Thanks to wireless options, it is also the ideal solution for mobile and hard-to-access devices such as cranes or automated warehouses.
The DATAEAGLE radio data transmission systems also offer maximum flexibility and simple plug & play installation.
"We were initially somewhat skeptical about switching from slip ring to radio technology in view of the special requirements. However, the prospect of greater operational reliability prompted us to take this step and we were not disappointed"
Ralph Püschel, Kabel Sterner GmbH, Marketing Specialist
"The elevator was approved for operation by the TÜV shortly before the Four Hills Tournament without any rework. After the first two years, we found that the elevator's availability was almost 100%."

"Intelligent radio" for the industry
Not all wireless systems are the same: standard wireless solutions are out of the question for industrial companies. Who has time for redundancies and latencies?
Our intelligent radio decouples the real-time interface from the radio interface: pre-processed data packets reduce the necessary bandwidth and redundant data packets are not transmitted in the first place. As a result, the radio links are not overloaded and fieldbus errors are avoided. In addition, the real-time capability of the PLC and its maximum bus speed can be maintained.
The result is the best possible productivity and cost-effectiveness of the systems. Win. Win. Win.
Safety & different Fieldbus technologies
Safe or not safe - that's not a question! The DATAEAGLE for Wireless Ethernet supports both: PROFINET and PROFIsafe, EtherNet/IP and CIPsafety and OpenSafety. PLC to PLC communication or PLC to remote IO - just as you wish. Components from any manufacturer can be connected quickly and easily.
Genuine plug & play - ideal for retrofitting
Install, connect, get started. The simple installation without configuration is designed to be immediately available and functional even in existing systems. Without installation. Without integration into the hardware configuration. And without hassle.
High reliability & availability
Intelligent radio decouples the real-time interface from the radio interface. This reliably suppresses interference and keeps the connection running. And runs. And runs.
Focus on data
Pre-processed data packets reduce the necessary bandwidth and radio links are not overloaded. This ensures a reliable connection and completely eliminates fieldbus errors.
Cost-effectiveness and worldwide use
Maintenance-free systems are the future - lay the foundation with Funk. Once set up, you don't need to carry out maintenance or worry about machine downtime. Everything is done. It just works.
Diagnosis & personal support
Simply make it even easier: We are happy to support you in setting up your wireless solution and are also available for you at any time after commissioning. With the integrated internal device diagnostics, you always know what's going on.

Topology - how much radio can it be?
Wireless beats cable: simple installation and absolutely flexible connections - from simple to multipoint or complex applications. Do you want to replace your existing cable solution? Then the point-to-point connection with quick changeover is the right choice. Need something a little more complex? The multipoint connection with several slaves offers the greatest possible flexibility.
This makes data transmission a reliable and loss-free player for industrial companies with high requirements. In a nutshell: maximum flexibility with maximum cost-effectiveness.
