Wireless Access Point

The Wireless Access Point enables wireless access to a machine or system. This wireless transmission can be performed via WLAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/d/n/r), Bluetooth ® or Bluetooth ® Low Energy in different operating modes. For example, a tablet or smartphone can be used to access the control system of a machine via a radio connection. The device can also be configured to integrate a machine or system into an existing wireless network (e.g., WLAN network) as a client.. In the third main operating mode, a wireless transmission link for ETHERNET protocols (e.g., PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, EtherNet/IP TM ) can be established between two devices. In this gateway mode, the device is used as a cable substitute to create a robust, industry-proven Bluetooth ® or WLAN link between two automation devices. The Wireless Access Point is designed for through-panel mounting (cut-out = 50.5 mm) in the control cabinet. The Wireless Access Point is inserted through the panel cut-out and screwed from the opposite side via M50 nut. Wiring is performed inside the control cabinet. The external side of the housing meets the IP67 protection class. Note: The Wireless Access Point is compatible with the Wireless ETHERNET Gateway. These devices can be used jointly in a network.
