Automation Offer Scope – Networking

Transparent Ready Concept:
Solutions based on universal technologies Ethernet TCP/IP and Web 
Schneider Electric’s Transparent Ready is an open Power and Control framework based on internet technologies that provides seamless communication between plant floor and business systems: from sensor to control room, from power control  to energy efficiency
Transparent Ready allows information to be managed, used and transferred through the Internet and related standard technologies such as hardware, software, services and partners protocols. Relying on standards, Transparent Ready is open and takes advantage of thousands of Modbus TCP/IP drivers are available.

Transparent Ready creates business opportunities for System Integrators as it enables you to build and propose differentiating solutions and services for Users thanks to its openness to partners, to IT, and to other controllers and Devices.

• Secure investment by using a common and standard Ethernet infrastructure and contain cost through open standards ( Life Cycle: Total cost of ownership is lower) 
• Gain competitive business advantage through direct and real-time link with the Enterprise Information System for quicker and better decision making (e.g. IBM, SOAP )
• Improve maintenance efficiency and reduce downtime thanks to faulty device replacement demo services (Plug & Play), direct access to on-line documentation and information, remote diagnostics and maintenance capabilities, alarm features and Emailing services, etc.
• Simple architecture administration based on commonly used diagnostic tools thanks to SNMP
• Native remote diagnostic (first level) through Web pages
• Easy data visualisation (standard Browser) and easy to build customised diagnostic Web pages: Configurable web server
• Have a remote access to installation and machine for services

Transparent Ready is also an offer easy to integrate and maintain for System Integrators 

• Powerful and easy to design communication for automation application: Global data, IO scanner, Modbus TCP messaging
• Automatic clock synchronisation with NTP
• Easy TCP/IP standard communication with third party: TCPopen
• Easy to find complementary product to build a complete and consistent solution, more
• Ready to use web pages for diagnostic, configuration and control with an internet browser: Basic Web server
• Plug & play devices: device configuration and Faulty device replacement demo
• Simple network diagnostic based on commonly used tools thanks to SNMP
• Embedded alarm features (Pushed information) and Email services
• Direct publication in database with Active Web server
• Easily develop custom web page for your application with Configurable web server
• Easy to install networking (well known Ethernet)
• Provide RAS or GSM remote connection
• Download programs (update, process change)
• Remote access to installation for remote testing and debug
