Description
With the Anybus Wireless Bolt you can connect the control of your machine to a wireless network. The Wireless Bolt is mounted directly on the machine or on the control cabinet and allows machine access via Bluetooth® or WLAN (WiFi).
The Anybus Wireless Bolt is connected to the machine control via Ethernet cable and supports not only the BACnet/IP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP industrial Ethernet protocols but also the TCP/IP and UDP protocols.
CONFIGURE MACHINES WIRELESS
Anybus Wireless Bolt allows a remote set-up and operation of equipment, using browser-based control apps on a wide range of mobile devices (laptop, smartphone etc). The Bolt signal range covers up to 100 m, which means you can put your own BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policys in place, thereby reducing the number of expensive fixed HMI dashboards.
ROUND COMPLETE PACKAGE
With the Anybus Wireless Bolt you get a complete package that combines connection, communications processor and integrated antenna in one unit. Regardless of the communication method, the same connection is always used for power supply and communication (2x9p pin strip).
Features and Benefits: Configure machines and troubleshoot over a wireless network · Machine access with laptop, tablet or smartphone as an alternative to expensive, fixed HMIs · Connection of mobile transport vehicles such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) · Connect to cloud service or integrate live data into the SCADA system · Bridges Ethernet and the following protocols: BACnet/IP, Ethernet/IP, Modbus-TCP, PROFINET, TCP/UDP. (PROFINET only in tunnel mode or MAC address cloning mode) · Unique method of handling interference without compromising Bluetooth compliance or interoperability with other devices · 2.4 GHz WLAN enables easy connection establishment and identifies interference-free channels · A complete package: Connection, communications processor and integrated antenna in one unit · Configurable digital input for controlling roaming behavior, for example. Max. 3 m signal cable · Uses ARM mbed 3.0 IoT Device Platform · Simultaneous operation of WLAN and Bluetooth enables radio bridges between the two networks as well as network redundancy · Security functions for safe operation in industrial environments.
Configuration
You can configure the Anybus Wireless Bolt through its built-in web pages. Alternatively, you can also send AT commands for configuration or use the Easy Config modes.
Assembly
The Anybus Wireless Bolt is mounted in a 50.5 mm (M50) opening on the machine or in the control cabinet. The upper part ("helmet") is outside and has a IP67 housing. The lower part is located in the machine/control cabinet (IP21).
