EXAMPLE 1: Point-to-point

EXAMPLE 2: Access point

The Wireless Bridge can act as an access point connecting up to seven different clients.
This example shows connection to several Anybus Wireless Bolts and one Wireless Bridge. The Anybus Wireless Bridge and Bolt work seamlessly together.

Wirelessly bridge industrial Ethernet networks

Use the Anybus Wireless Bridge to create a wireless connection in a PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP or BACnet/IP network.
You can use the same hardware for both Bluetooth or WLAN communication.

Point-to-point or multipoint

Anybus Wireless Bridge is often used as an Ethernet cable  replacement (point- to-point communication). But it can also be used as an access point for several WLAN/Bluetooth nodes within range.

Features and benefits

• Three built in antennas for higher performance and better robustness.
•  Operation with Bluetooth Low Energy.
•  Range up to 400 meters.
•  Rugged design with IP65-classed housing. Easy setup via push button or via web configuration pages.
• Full compatibility with Anybus Wireless Bolt — a wireless product for machine mounting.
•  Connects to your machine via Ethernet.
•  Simultaneous operation of Bluetooth and WLAN allowingfor bridging  between the two.

Which wireless standard?

Use WLAN (aka WiFi) if:

•  Interaction with other devices is needed, e.g. Bolt/AWB II to tablet/PC/ phone or WLAN infrastructure.
•  WLAN channel frequency planning is possible.
•  Higher data throughput speed is necessary.
•  Larger file transfers are expected.

Use Bluetooth if:

• The wireless link has Anybus products in both ends, e.g. Bolt to Bolt, AWB II to AWB II or Bolt to AWB II.
•  A robust and reliable link without interruptions is important e.g. in an industrial environment with lots of disturbances, and maybe has been proven not to work well using WLAN.
• A Profinet or Ethernet/IP I/O cycle time of 64ms or higher is acceptable.
• The data throughput speed need is on the lower side.
