Wireless Bolt™
Anybus Wireless Bolt enables you to connect industrial
machinery to a wireless network. It is aached onto a cabinet
or a machine to enable wireless access.
Wireless transmission is made via Bluetooth or WLAN
technology. The Wireless Bolt can connect devices using
serial, CAN or Ethernet.
Use your laptop, phone or tablet instead of an HMI
Connect a Wireless Bolt to your machine and access the internal
web pages via a laptop, tablet or smartphone. BYOD (Bring Your
Own Device) means that you no longer need an expensive HMI.
Multipoint or point-to-point
Anybus Wireless Bolt is oen used as an access point for several
WLAN/Bluetooth nodes, but it can also be used as an Ethernet
cable replacement (point-to-point communicaon).
Features and benets
• Range up to 100 meters.
• Rugged design with IP67-classed housing.
• Easy conguraon via built-in web conguraon pages.
• Mounted by making an M50 hole (50.5 mm) in the host
cabinet/machine. The boom part of the Bolt goes inside
the cabinet and the top part is located on the outside.
• All-in-one package: Connector, communicaon hardware
and integrated antenna in the same unit.
• Connects to your machine via Ethernet.

guarantee
The Wireless Bolt is typically used for conguraon purposes. For example, you can bring your own device (BYOD) such as a tablet to a machine and use it as an HMI.
Another typical use case is connecng a machine to a cloud service.
Which wireless standard?
Use WLAN (aka WiFi) if you need:
• High data throughput.
• Wireless access point.
Use Bluetooth if you need:
• Reliable and noise immune wireless link
(Bluetooth switches between dierent
frequencies).
• Low energy consumpon (Bluetooth Low
Energy).
Note that Bluetooth cannot be used with
some Android devices.
