Case Study: Deutsche Windtechnik achieves reliable wind turbine fault notification with Perle industrial Ethernet switches and device servers
A Perle Case Study
Deutsche Windtechnik upgrades 7-turbine wind farm fault notifications with Perle
The wind farm maintenance specialist Deutsche Windtechnik was hired to resolve an unreliable fault notification system at a wind farm near Bremen. The challenge was that commercial-grade serial device servers and Ethernet switches in the turbines were failing due to extreme temperature fluctuations, halting critical data communications. Deutsche Windtechnik turned to vendor Perle for a robust industrial-grade solution.
Perle implemented its extended temperature IOLAN SDS Device Servers and IDS-108F Industrial Ethernet Switches to replace the failing commercial equipment. This industrial-grade hardware seamlessly upgraded the network, providing reliable fault notifications and stable data communications in the harsh wind turbine environment. The Perle solution eliminated the system's unreliability, ensuring continuous monitoring for the wind farm.
