Enter the world of “Collaborative

Automation” with Transparent Ready™.

Share your data, freely connect your

automation systems to your

company’s management systems

and access data in real time anywhere

in the architecture

With Transparent Ready™, you can

develop architectures in total freedom!

Collaborate freely with the universalEthernet network

Leveragingingenuityand intelligencefor ease of use

Telemecanique’s “Transparent Ready™” products are based

on universal Ethernet TCP/IP and Web technologies.

The open Modbus TCP/IP protocol, which is the leading

industrial Ethernet protocol, complies with IEC international

and SAC Chinese fieldbus standards.

Transparent Ready™ has now broadened its scope, with

additional new offers dedicated to machines and remote

management.

Choosing Transparent Ready™ means opting for flexible,

open automation architectures.

Ethernet, the universal communication network> A single network, for IT systems right through to automation systemsThe Ethernet TCP/IP Internet network incorporates communication services for industrial automation systems, meaning that you can now have a single network throughout your organization. Cut down the number of different networks and reduce your maintenance requirements.

> All the advantages of interface-free connectionsA single network enables both automation and IT systems to be connecteddirectly, thus eliminating the need for interfaces and providing unrestricted collaboration with your process.

> Access data remotely Internet technologies reduce the difficulties and additional costs usually linked to accessing data remotely. Authorized personnel can monitor your installation on line and are able to intervene as and when required.

> Stay independentChoosing a universal communication network means that you are not restricted to a single technical solution. You can update your installation astechnologies change and new products become available, without having toreconsider your choice of architecture.

Web technologies optimize the humanmachine interface> Use your Internet browser as a “simple” HMI*Access your installation from a simple Internet browser on a PC or PDA viathe Web servers integrated in the Telemecanique products. You can do awaywith the need for software licenses, providing users and maintenance teamswith an easy-access solution.

> Distribute your HMI* applicationsWith Web technologies integrated in the automation system products, you canfreely access data, store process events directly in your databases, and evenreceive alarms by e-mail. Refocus your supervisory applications on controlling the process, and removea node in your system.

New “Transparent Ready™” solutions at every level

Link with the company management system> Even more flexible!Direct publication in databases, recipemanagement, local storage of data and dynamic Web pages are just some of the new functions available with the FactoryCast HMI active Webserver for PLCs.> Work easily with your automationsystems!The new Web services of the PLC ser-vers are identical to those used in the ITworld: you exchange your data freely inSOAP/XML* format.

Remote management in the water sector> Totally transparent remote management of your substations! The W@de substation module (reservoir,pumping, etc) manages the remotecommunication via an integratedmodem using the TCP/IP standard:exchanges with a central supervisor,

alarm management, sending e-mails/SMS, Web server, datastorage, remote programming of

the local PLC.

Machine access> Motion Control available on Ethernet TCP/IP!With the Lexium 17D variable speeddrive, add the functions provided withthe proprietary fieldbus versions to theadvantages of Ethernet. > Even more flexibility for managingmachine safety!The new safety PLCs communicate in“SafeEthernet” with their safety I/O,over a dedicated Ethernet segment orthe machine network - you choose.> Ethernet in the harshest environments!The new switches and Ositrack inductive identification system haveIP65 protection.

Ethernet TCP/IP as close as possible to field level> Optimize costs!Do away with network switches and simplify the wiring.Ethernet technology is now available in bus topology: the products incorporate 2 Ethernet ports. > Simplify maintenance!The maintenance engineer simply sets the thumbwheels of the replacement product. It is identified and its parameters configured automatically.
