Bridge industrial Ethernet or serial cables over Bluetooth® or WLAN
Anybus® Wireless Bridge enables you to create an industrial wireless connection in an industrial Ethernet network. This second generation of the proven and trusted Wireless Bridge can communicate via both Bluetooth and Wireless LAN and is ideal for communication through hazardous areas or hard-to-reach locations where cables are not desirable. It provides an effective wireless range of up to 400 meters.
Bridging TCP/IP Ethernet
The Wireless Bridge makes it possible to operate leading TCP/IP based industrial Ethernet networks, such as BACnet/IP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP, over Bluetooth and Wireless LAN 2.4 / 5 GHz.
Point-to-Point or Multipoint
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 up to seven Wireless LAN/Bluetooth clients.
Support for Industrial Ethernet protocols
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. There is also a separate version making it possible to bridge serial RS-232/422/485 communication over Bluetooth.
