Bolt

Applications

Any application where replacing cables with wireless connectivity can bring cost, flexibility or security benefits:

• Ethernet or Industrial Series cable replacement
• Use of a tablet, laptop or smartphone as an operating terminal instead of a traditional fixed screen (HMI)
• Wireless access to industrial machines or control systems (PLCs, HMI...)
• Wireless configuration of machines and PLCs
• Automatically guided vehicles (VGA), mobile robotic machines
• Connection of equipment to the site's Internet/Intranet network (IIoT solutions)
• Wireless communications between equipment
• Conversion of equipment with serial link to TCP/IP equipment (Bolt Serial models)

Main benefits

• Savings (wiring, costly HMI displays)
• Flexibility (multi-purpose, fixed or mobile equipment, single point, point to point and multi-point)
• Safety (eliminates time spent in dangerous, difficult or restricted areas)
• Robust and industrial solution, adapted to harsh environments, compared to traditional wireless access solutions
• Can be used indoors and outdoors (IP67 sealing, temperatures -40°C/+65°C)
• Compact product, simple and quick to install directly on the machine or control panel
• Built-in high-performance antenna
• Very simple configuration via web server
• Multiple connectivity to equipment: Ethernet, Serial, CAN
• Several wireless solutions: Bluetooth, Bluetooth low power (BLE), WiFi
• Can be used as a Client or Access Point
