Anybus Wireless Bridge II – Ethernet

Anybus® Wireless Bridge enables you 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.

Connectors

1x M12 for Ethernet (4-pin, D-coded)
1x M12 for Power 5-pin, A-coded)
RP-SMA antenna connector for external antenna

 Antennas AWB3000
Three internal antennas: 
1. 2.4 GHz
2. 2,4GHz MIMO
3. 5GHz


AWB3010
One external antenna:
1. 2,4/5GHz dual band
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.
