Anybus Bluetooth Wireless Bridge

4 June 2012

Anybus has created a wireless bridge that allows industrial Ethernet-based devices to communicate using wireless technology seamlessly. This makes it possible to bridge protocols such as PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, Modbus-TCP, BACnet/IP, etc. over a distance of up to 1000m (open-air range).

Industrial factories and plants are generally very “noisy” environments which cause disruptions in wireless communications. Bluetooth is an excellent option for these environments because Bluetooth switches between different frequencies allowing it to be more reliable and noise-immune.

The Ethernet bridge is ideal for situations where the Ethernet cable needs to be replaced with a robust maintenance-free solution. The Ethernet bridge features an intelligent gateway making it easy to install, configure and use. The low emission mode solves potential interference problems that can occur between Wireless LAN and Bluetooth.

The key features of Bluetooth are its robustness and low power consumption.

  • Unique method to handle interference disturbances without consequences to Bluetooth conformity or interoperability with other devices
  • Built-in antenna with a unique half-globe radio coverage pattern, making installation easy and cost-efficient
  • Easy configuration via push button or web configuration pages
  • IP65 class housing

The Anybus wireless bridge is quick and easy to set up, if you have any problems, you can contact IDX’s engineering staff who will be more than willing to help you with your problem.
