Abstract
The invention relates to a wind turbine () comprising a network arranged for communicating with an external network (), said network of the wind turbine comprising a first sub-network () and a second sub-network (), where the first sub-network () is connectable to the external network () and where the second sub-network () is connectable to and disconnectable from the first network (). Thus, two or more independent networks are created within a single wind turbine to allow communication among the different controllers in the wind turbine along with external communication. The second sub-network is disconnectable from the remaining network, while the first sub-network may have permanent remote connection. This network architecture provides for enhanced flexibility, enhanced security and enhanced functionality.
