BECKHOFF
The industrial grade CU8890 WLAN controller is based on the standard IEEE 802.11 b/g and is designed for DIN rail installation. Connected to an IPC it offers a fieldbus-independent data exchange. The data exchange module has a reverse SMA plug for connection of various radio antennas. The free choice of antenna enables adaptation to the respective environment. The outdoor range between two modules depends on the environment and can be up to 300 m. The CU8890 can be used either as access-point or as client. Status and data exchange are displayed via LEDs, thereby offering fast and simple diagnostics. Client drivers are available for Windows XP, Embedded Standard as well as Windows CE (from CE 6). With the drivers for Windows XP and Embedded Standard, the CU8890 can also operate as an access-point.
