SIEMENS 6GK5744-1AA60-2AB0 Ethernet Client Module

Product Dimensions：

The Siemens 6GK5744-1AA60-2AB0 belongs to the SCALANCE W744-1 product line. It is a specialized industrial Wireless LAN (WLAN) client module designed to integrate stationary or mobile devices into a wireless network via an Ethernet interface.

## Product Overview

The SCALANCE W744-1 is a robust Client Module (Ethernet Client Bridge) that operates according to the IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards. It is specifically engineered for industrial environments where high reliability and resistance to harsh conditions are required.

## Technical Specifications

## Product Advantages

• Industrial Hardening: Unlike commercial-grade routers, it features a rugged housing and can withstand vibrations, shocks, and electromagnetic interference.

• Dual-Band Flexibility: Support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz allows users to avoid crowded frequencies and ensures more stable data transmission.

• High Availability: Supports redundancy and fast roaming, ensuring that mobile devices (like AGVs) stay connected while moving between access points.

• Ease of Configuration: Can be configured via Web-Based Management (WBM), Command Line Interface (CLI), or integrated into TIA Portal.

• Compact Design: The slim form factor saves valuable space in the control cabinet.

## Application Areas

This module is primarily used to connect Ethernet-enabled devices to a wireless network in industrial settings:

1. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): Providing reliable wireless control for mobile robot platforms.

2. Logistics & Warehousing: Connecting handheld scanners or stacker cranes to the central management system.

3. Retrofitting: Adding wireless capabilities to existing PLC systems (like SIMATIC S7) without replacing hardware.

4. Machine Building: Enabling wireless communication between different parts of a large production line.

## Important Considerations & Notes

• Antenna Selection: The device uses R-SMA connectors. Ensure you select the appropriate antenna (Omni-directional vs. Directional) based on your site’s physical layout.

• Configuration: Always change the default login credentials immediately to ensure network security (supports WPA2/AES encryption).

• Alignment: If using the 5 GHz band, ensure a clear line of sight where possible, as 5 GHz signals are more easily obstructed by walls and metal structures than 2.4 GHz.

• Power Supply: Ensure a stable 24V DC power source. Industrial environments often have “dirty” power; using a stabilized power supply is recommended.
