The AnyBus Wireless Bolt range provides a simple and robust solution to provide wireless connectivity to machines and control systems.
Easily installed on the wall of the stationary or mobile machine or control panel, the Bolt allows for quick and easy wireless access to equipment from a PC, tablet or smart phone, via Bluetooth or WiFi access.
It can also be used to connect the equipment, or a set of networked equipment, to the site's Internet network, or to enable wireless exchanges between equipment.
The Bolt uses the same technologies as the AnyBus Wireless Bridge range, giving HMS' Anybus Wireless solutions the versatility to be used in almost any industrial wireless application.
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
