 WIN - Wireless Information Network

The key advantages

Central monitoring of a wide range of different machines via PC Reduction of reaction times and costs Increased productivity and efficiency No additional wiring

Transmission range of up to 300 m (unobstructed line of sight) ? Every slave simultaneously functions as a „repeater“, enabling the transmission range to be significantly increased ? Relevant machine information at a glance (e.g. downtime)

Centralised machine monitoring without additional wiring

WERMA Signaltechnik now provides a simple solution for the remote wireless monitoring of machinery. The „Wireless Information Network“,„WIN“, for short, is a simple MDC system, enabling you to centrally monitor and evaluate the performance of up to fifty machines of varying ages and functions via wireless technology. Even machines which were not previously network-capable can now be integrated into networks.

WIN can be easily installed via „plug & play“ This straightforward installation process lets you centrally monitor your machines − whether temporarily or permanently. No additional wiring is needed as your existing WERMA signal towers can be used and the signals are transmitted via wireless technology.

WIN uses the 868 MHz frequency band and has a transmission range of 300 m (unobstructed line of sight). The indoor transmission range may be less depending on the characteristics of the building. However as every slave simultaneously functions as a „repeater“, transmitting the signal received from other slaves to the master, the transmission range can be significantly increased.

Software for monitoring and analysing the machine operating status

With the supplied software, the user can wireless monitor machinery by glancing at his PC. He can search for faults or analyse the operating status, thus raising the efficiency and productivity of his machines.

A simple display interface enables intuitive operation and monitoring. The status descriptions of the individual signal elements can be defined in the software as required, e.g. tier one „Machine in operation“, tier two „Retool“, tier three „Fault“.

Status indication of the networked signal towers

Productivity per machine

Failure analysis over time

The software displays the status of the signal towers integrated into the wireless network. The user can therefore specify which machine data he monitors and evaluates. A range of different analysis and monitoring modules are available (e.g. failure analysis over time, downtime per machine).

The PC software can be quickly and easily installed and guides the user through the individual steps required to set up the wireless network.

The all inclusive kit: "WIN complete" for KombiSIGN 71

With the all inclusive kit „WIN complete“ you can immediately start monitoring up to three machines.All you have to do is mount the signal towers from the kit onto your machines. After installing the supplied software on to your PC you can immediately start monitoring the status of your machines.

Each of the three pre-configured KombiSIGN 71 signal towers has three LED permanent lights in red, yellow and green, as well as a WIN slave and a base with integrated tube for mounting. „WIN complete“ can be expanded to up to fifty slaves per network via subsequent orders.

The kit also contains a WIN master, a USB cable, the handbook and PC software. The master, equipped with a small antenna, is positioned on the wall or next to the PC and connected via USB cable.

More choice with "WIN system" for KombiSIGN 70 und 71

With „WIN system“ the user has even more choice: The kit consists of a WIN master
including the software, a USB cable and three pre-configured WIN slaves.

The slaves are distributed amongst the existing WERMA signal towers , which need to be monitored. Or you can order your own signal towers from WERMA’s wide range of KombiSIGN products − enabling you to combine audible elements, different light effects, colours and mounting options as required.

The WIN system allows up to four machine states per machine to be monitored and can also be expanded to up to fifty slaves per network via subsequent order.
