Factoryline Bluetooth EPA – the robust Ethernet wireless bridge

The Ethernet port adapter is the simple solution for enabling the Bluetooth capability of industrial automation devices with Ethernet connection quickly and easily. The IP65 turnkey solution is installed directly in the field and connected to the automation device via an M12 Ethernet cable.

Your advantages:

• Compact IP65 module with integrated antenna
• M12 connections for Ethernet and power
• Easy installation in the field

The EPA modules were developed for reliable and fault-free communication of control signals, e.g. via PROFINET. The advantage of using Bluetooth technology is that it provides extremely robust wireless communication, which is particularly reliable even under harsh industrial conditions.

Secure point-to-point and small networks can be set up quickly and easily without configuration with the Mode button. Alternatively, configuration can also be conveniently carried out via web browser.

The Bluetooth EPA modules enable fault-free parallel operation with other WLAN systems, thanks to efficient use of frequency gaps. In addition to the automatic coexistence mechanism of Bluetooth, the EPA modules also offer the following:

• Low emission mode, for low interference emissions when establishing connections
• Black channel listing: allows configuration of up to three WLAN channels whose frequency ranges will not be used by the EPA module
