HMS Industrial Networks Anybus WLAN access points

HMS Industrial Networks has introduced two Anybus WLAN Access Points, designed to be industrial-grade infrastructure hubs for long-range WLAN connectivity. The APs are suitable for collecting data wirelessly from any machinery or system, especially those equipped with Anybus Wireless Bolt or bridge.

The access points allow users to set up an industrial wireless infrastructure for multiple wireless clients. Available in two different versions, one for IP30 applications and one for IP67 (outdoor and water resistant), both devices feature the same characteristics in terms of range and functionality.

The access points enable high-performance wireless connections to a multitude of wireless clients. By supporting up to 1000 Mbps wired Ethernet LAN connection and up to 300 Mbps wireless connections, high data throughput is ensured for each client. Configuration is done via a web-based interface and secure wireless connections are achieved due to support for WEP/WPA/WPA-PSK(TKIP,AES)/WPA2/WPA2-PSK(TKIP,AES)/802.1X.

The access points offer a wireless range up to 400 m and PoE for the IP67 version.
