Product overviewThe Anybus Wireless Bolt AWB2030-B connects Ethernet-based machines and control cabinets to wireless networks via Bluetooth®, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and Wi‑Fi. Designed for multi-directional mounting and roaming applications such as AGVs and mobile equipment. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support allows power and data over a single cable, simplifying installation.
Key benefits and features- Industrial design: IP66/67 enclosure and wide operating temperature range; certified for UL Haz.Loc. Class 1/Div2 and ATEX Zone 2.
- High-speed roaming and dual-network bridging: Fast roaming (IEEE 802.11r) and high link rates (IEEE 802.11n); simultaneous Bluetooth and WLAN operation enables bridging between networks.
- Multi-directional mounting: Allows reliable wireless links to roaming machines or cabinets from any angle.
- Easy access to data: Configure PLCs or machines wirelessly without production stops.
- Quick start-up and deterministic behavior: Suitable for field-level devices requiring short start-up times.
- All-in-one communication unit: Integrated connector, communication processor and antenna reduce need for external accessories.
- Protocol support: Works with Industrial Ethernet and supports BACnet/IP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and TCP/UDP-based protocols.
- Low total cost of ownership: Integrated antenna and module reduce installation complexity and accessory costs.
- Flexible installation: Mount directly to cabinets or machines; optional pole/wall mounting kit available.
- Configuration and diagnostics: Intuitive web interface for setup and a CLI for advanced diagnostics.
