Station
Industry 4.0 places high demands on a data network –
it needs to be fast, secure and future-dynamic. The pow-
erful Ethernet-based SIGMA NETWORK developed by
KAESER provides optimal monitoring and ef
fi
cient control
of the compressed air station and enables operation within
the context of Industry 4.0.
Furthermore, industrial applications have special demands
when it comes to communication technology – including
machine to machine communication, which is the basis
of Industry 4.0. Not only must the technology be durable
and easily manageable on-site, but should also be globally
compatible, fast and secure and be able to transfer large
volumes of data with maximum integrity. The KAESER
SIGMA NETWORK meets all of these requirements and
more.
Secure data
Based on secure Ethernet technology, the future-dynam-
ic network is a local network within the compressed air
station that enables optimised integration of a station’s
components. Unlike current
fi
eld-bus solutions such as
Pro
fi
bus, CAN or similar technologies that operate at rel-
atively slow speeds (max. 12 Mbit/s), this network boasts
a data transfer speed of 100 Mbit/s. The widely accepted
TCP/IP protocol standard forms the basis for data traf
fi
c
in the SIGMA NETWORK. The SIGMA NETWORK uses
KAESER-own MAC addresses and creates a closed and
secure network segment in accordance with the recom-
mendations for industrial control systems. A de
fi
ned
transfer node enables secure data exchange with external
partners.
Basis for Predictive Maintenance
Together, the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 and the SIGMA
NETWORK create a perfectly matched infrastructure and
provide the basis for future services such as Predictive
Maintenance or energy management, for example. This
not only reduces costs, but also increases operational
reliability and availability.
If requested by the operator, the operating data from the
compressed air station can be securely transmitted to the
KAESER DATA CENTER via a broadband connection.
This is the prerequisite for KAESER SIGMA SMART AIR.
Compatible
Needless to say, existing KAESER Pro
fi
bus networks can
be integrated into the SIGMA NETWORK.
