The Factory Line FL Bluetooth AP module from Phoenix Contact enables the wireless integration of Ethernet-capable automation components into an Ethernet network. Both IP and Layer 2 Ethernet protocols such as Profinet can be transferred because the data forwarding is performed transparently.
The robust Bluetooth standard, which allows stable and reliable communications even under adverse industrial conditions, serves as the wireless technology. Furthermore, numerous wireless connections can be switched in parallel locally. The special coexistence functions also allow IEEE 802.11 b/g WLAN systems to be installed concurrently.
Three different operating modes are supported: The component can be employed as an access point for up to seven participants, as an Ethernet client adapter, or as a serial Bluetooth COM server.
The net data throughput is up to 400 Kbps at a range of 50 to 100 m in industrial buildings, as well as up to 200 m in outdoor applications. The autoconfiguration feature makes the initial setup of the component easy. Individual adjustments can be made via the integrated Web interface. Thanks to two FL Bluetooth AP modules, an encrypted connection can be established between two Ethernet participants with no additional configuration required.
