Safety

General Safety Instructions

Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this equipment meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy

Caution
The M12 power and LAN connectors must be provided with tool operated mechanical lock nuts that are tightened by the installer.

**** This equipment is recommended for use in both industrial and domestic environments. For industrial environments it is mandatory to use the functional earth connection to comply with immunity requirements. For domestic environments the functional earth must be used if a shielded Ethernet cable is used, in order to meet emission requirements.

**** This equipment contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.

External Antenna Restrictions

For models with external antenna, only use antennas that are certified for use with this equipment. Using external antennas that are not certified for use with this equipment will invalidate its certifications and make it non- compliant with the regulations for radio equipment.

A list of certified antennas can be found at www.anybus.com/support.

Intended Use

The intended use of this equipment is as a communication interface and gateway. The equipment receives and transmits data on various physical levels and connection types.

If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Type Identification

The type name consists of a type prefix followed by two designators for interface configuration and functionality

Prefix	AWB3	Anybus Wireless Bridge II
Interface configuration	A
B	Internal antenna, Dual M12 External antenna, Dual M12, RP-SMA
Functionality	A
B	Ethernet with digital input Ethernet w/o digital input

Example: AWB3AA = Anybus Wireless Bridge II with internal antenna, Ethernet
networking and digital input.

Installation

General Information

Anybus Wireless Bridge II can be screw-mounted directly onto a flat surface or mounted on a standard DIN rail using the optional DIN mounting kit.

For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. A minimum distance of 50 cm between the devices should also be observed to avoid interference.

For models with internal antenna the characteristics of the antenna should be considered when choosing the placement and orientation of the unit. See the User Manual for more information about the antenna characteristics for this equipment.

Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of your local network environment before installation.

Power Connector

The digital input can be used for additional functionality with advanced configurations and to remotely reset the unit.

**** If voltage is applied to the digital input for more that 10 seconds the unit will be reset to factory defaults.

**** Signal wiring for the digital input must be carried in the same cable as power and functional earth if wiring length exceeds 3 meters.

See www.anybus.com/support for more information about the digital input.

These LEDs are also used when selecting an Easy Config mode and to indicate
update status in Recovery Mode.

MODE Button

The MODE button can be used to restart or reset the unit as well as for selecting an Easy Config mode.

When the unit is powered on, press and hold MODE for >10 seconds and then release it to reset to the factory default settings.

Recovery Mode

If the web interface cannot be accessed, the unit can be reset by starting in Recovery Mode and reinstalling the firmware using Anybus Firmware Manager II, which can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support.

To enter Recovery Mode, press and hold RESET during startup.

**** Firmware updates should normally be carried out through the web interface. Recovery Mode should only be used if the unit is unresponsive and the web interface cannot be accessed.

Recovery Mode LED Indications

In Recovery Mode the Status LEDs will indicate firmware update status:

PWR	Green	Firmware update in progress
Green, blinking	Waiting for valid firmware
WLAN + BT	Alternating red/blue	Firmware update in progress

Configuration

Anybus Wireless Bridge II is normally configured via the web interface or using one of the pre-configured Easy Config modes.

Advanced configuration can be carried out by issuing AT commands via the web interface or over a Telnet or RAW TCP connection to port 8080.

Web Interface

The web interface is accessed by pointing a web browser to the IP address of
the unit. The default address is 192.168.0.99

The configuration settings are described in detail in the User Manual.

Web Interface

Easy Config

Power on the unit and wait for the Link Quality LEDs to light up and go out again, then immediately press and release the MODE button.
Press MODE repeatedly to cycle through the Easy Config modes until the desired mode is indicated by the A-B-C-D LEDs.
