2.2
Description of the core functionality

The core functionality is the communication between the mobile panel and several access points that are in a network. It is possible to change from one access point to another access point without previous logoff or new logon. The mobile panel communicates is expanded by iPCF-MC (industrial Point Coordination Function with Management Channel) WLAN access procedure also called Rapid Roaming. Rapid Roaming is used for interruption-free transfer of radio signals and provides rapid transfer of radio signals between the access points and the mobile panel a basic requirement for mobile solutions for operating and monitoring in safetyrelevant areas where enabling and emergency stop buttons are used.

3.1
Basics
This chapter contains information regarding Roaming with iPCF-MC and applicable WLAN standards.
iPCF-MC concept
For failsafe applications the mobile panel communicates through the expanded WLAN access procedure iPCF-MC (industrial Point Coordination Function with Management Channel). The data communication is performed on the so called data channel (in PCF method). The coordination of the communication is performed on the so called management channel. The figures below are to illustrate the iPCF-MC concept.
Figure 3-1
Each access point has a different "Data Channel"

AP2 W788-2RR
AP: Access Point
Each access point has the same "Management Channel" (here channel 48)
There are as many data channels (here 36; 40; 44) as there are access points and one joint management channel (here 48). Each access point (AP) sends so called beacons (approx. every 5ms) to the management channel. The clients (in this application the mobile panel) receive information regarding the reception quality and the number of the data channel to all the access points of the network in reach within a very short time.

An access point (AP) sends a beacon at regular intervals. This beacon contains information regarding the signal strength, SSID of the access point and the channel settings of the data channel. These beacons are evaluated by the mobile panel.

3 Basics 3.1 iPCF-MC concept Roaming with iPCF-MC, sequence description The mobile panel regularly changes from the data channel to the management channel and evaluates the received beacons. In this case the beacon of access point 1 (AP1) is the strongest => no roaming.

Channel assignment for extensive plants When configuring the data channel, ensure that the addresses of neighboring data channels do not overlap.

2.
Click on the OP icon. The OP Properties dialog box opens. Select the Transponder tab.
Select the required WLAN channel through the dropdown list. The following options are available: Auto (all channels): the frequency hopping method searches an unused frequency range within the 2.4 GHz band. A free channel is selected automatically. List with several frequency ranges within the 2.4 GHz band: you can select a discrete frequency range from this list. This enables you to determine what channel is used, and not the operator panel. The entry is saved by clicking the OK button and the dialog is closed. Note: setting the channel ensures the coexistence with other radio system. A possible error of other networks can therefore be prevented.
