Description
The wireless access point allows you to access a machine or system via radio. This radio transmission can be done via WLAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/d/n/r), Bluetooth® or Bluetooth® Low Energy in different operating modes. In this way, for example, a tablet or smartphone can be used to wirelessly access the control of a machine. By adjusting the configuration, the device can also connect a machine or plant to an existing radio network (e.g. WLAN network) as a client. The third important operating mode is the establishment of a wireless transmission link between two devices for ETHERNET protocols such as PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IPTM, etc. In this gateway mode, the device works as a cable replacement for building a robust, industrial-grade Bluetooth® or WLAN connection between two automation devices. The wireless access point is mounted in the control cabinet by means of a housing bushing (hole cut-out = 50.5 mm). The wireless access point is inserted into this and screwed onto the other side with a M50 nut. The cabling takes place within the control cabinet. The exterior of the housing complies with protection class IP67.
