Appendix A: Configuration Examples A.4 34 (42) Ethernet network to existing WLAN Fig. 23 Connecting to a WLAN This example describes how to connect a machine with an internal Ethernet network to an existing WLAN. This setup allows traffic on network layer 3, but not layer 2. This means that TCP/IP based protocols such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and BACnet can be used on the WLAN, but not protocols that use layer 2 traffic, such as PROFINET. Configuration 1.
Appendix A: Configuration Examples A.5 35 (42) Adding single Ethernet node to WLAN Fig. 24 Adding WLAN connectivity This example shows how to connect a PLC with an Ethernet network interface to an existing WLAN with support for layer 2 and layer 3 traffic. The WLAN interface in the Wireless Bridge will clone the MAC address of the Ethernet interface in the PLC. Only a single Ethernet node will be able to communicate via a third-party WLAN access point in this setup. Configuration 1.
Appendix A: Configuration Examples A.6 36 (42) Accessing PLC via WLAN from Handheld Device Fig. 25 Accessing a PLC from a handheld device using WLAN This example describes how to use a Wireless Bridge to access the web interface of a PLC on a wired network from a tablet or smartphone which uses DHCP. The Wireless Bridge will function as a WLAN access point. Please refer to the documentation for the handheld device and PLC on how to configure their respective network settings. Configuration 1.
Appendix A: Configuration Examples 3. 37 (42) In WLAN Settings, set Operating Mode to Access Point. Fig. 26 WLAN Settings 4. Enter a unique SSID (network name) for the new wireless network. 5. Set Authentication Mode to WPA2 and enter a passkey. 6. Select a Channel band and a Channel. 7. Click on Save and Reboot. You should now be able to connect to the SSID of the Wireless Bridge on your handheld device and access the PLC by by entering its IP address in a browser.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology Basics B 38 (42) Wireless Technology Basics Wireless technology is based on the propagation and reception of electromagnetic waves. These waves respond in different ways in terms of propagation, dispersion, diffraction and reflection depending on their frequency and the medium in which they are travelling. To enable communication there should optimally be an unobstructed line of sight between the antennas of the devices.
