Wireless Bridge II
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.
Overview
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.
Features and benefits
- Use with point-to-point wireless Industrial Ethernet installations through hazardous or hard-to-reach locations
- Use as an Access Point for up to seven clients
- Suitable for AGV’s (Automatic Guided Vehicle)
- Fast Roaming (IEEE 802.11r), High link speed (IEEE 802.11n), Robustness (three internal antennas, including MIMO)
- Eliminates the need for expensive or maintenance-heavy cabling
- Bridges TCP/IP Ethernet and protocols such as: BACnet/IP, EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP and PROFINET
- Max range of up to 400 meters
- Full compatibility with Anybus Wireless Bolt — a wireless product for machine mounting
- Easy setup via push button or web interface
- Advanced configuration with AT commands
- Compatible with PROFIsafe requirements
- Rugged IP65 rated industrial design
- Security features for a secure industrial operation
- Three built in antennas for higher performance and better robustness
- Operation with Wirelesss LAN, Bluetooth classic and Bluetooth Low Energy.
- CLI (Command Line Interface) for configuration and diagnostics

The external antenna does not provide better range, but allows connectivity if the Wireless Bridge
needs to be placed inside a radio-secure environment such as a steel cabinet. When mounting inside a steel cabinet antenna cables with magnetic foot or screw mount should also be considered. | ||
