3. Introduction
3.1. General information
The product line WP-3000 provides a transparent wireless
transmission of PROFIBUS. X stands for different variants
which are separated by different maximum PROFIBUS DP
speeds on the cable side.
The data transmission is completely transparent for the
PROFIBUS DP master and slaves. No changes are required
compared to a cable connection. The radio master operates
like a PROFIBUS slave, i.e. further cable connected
PROFIBUS slaves may be connected on the master side.
The data transmission may be installed as a point-to-point
connection or as a radio network, i.e. one transmitter (WP-
3000 Master) and several receivers (WP-3000 Slaves).
