The FL WLAN Ethernet port adapter is the industrial WLAN adapter for the inexpensive connection of Ethernet-compatible devices to your WLAN network. The compact and robust Ethernet port adapter comes with integrated wireless module and antenna. The IP65 turnkey solution is installed directly in the field and connected to the automation device via an Ethernet cable with M12 connection technology. The benefit for you: extremely straightforward integration into your application.
With two EPA modules, a point-to-point Ethernet wireless bridge to rotating or moving machine systems can be established quickly and easily. This reduces the cabling complexity and the wear-free wireless connection dispenses with drag chains / slip rings
With the WLAN EPA, mobile and location-changing systems with Ethernet connection can be integrated into existing WLAN networks quickly and easily.
The Ethernet port adapter is the simple solution for enabling WLAN-capability in 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:
The WLAN EPA module can be configured automatically and controlled during operation using simple AT commands via a controller. This makes it possible, for example, for roaming procedures, i.e. the changeover between Access Points, to be controlled – depending on position – via the controller on mobile systems.
