embeddedIP67WiFi

Short description
The Anybus Wireless Bolt CAN AWB2020-B connects CAN-based machines to wireless networks via Bluetooth® and Wi‑Fi. Designed for multi-directional installations, it enables wireless connectivity with roaming machines (e.g. AGVs) and cabinet- or machine-mounted setups without production stops.

Key overview
The Wireless Bolt is an all-in-one wireless communication unit with integrated connector, communication processor and antenna. It performs CAN to TCP/IP conversion and supports CAN 2.0A/B (11/29-bit identifiers), including protocols such as J1939 and CANopen, while allowing transparent transfer of arbitrary CAN protocols. The device is engineered for fast start-up, high determinism and secure remote access to machine data.

Features and benefits

• Industrial design: IP66/67 enclosure, wide operating temperature range, certified for UL Hazardous Location Class 1 / Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2 (Gas)
• Flexible CAN data management: up to 28 configurable CAN receive passthrough filters for precise message handling
• Wide baud rate support: 10–1000 kbit/s to accommodate multi-node CAN networks
• Transparent protocol support: converts CAN → TCP/IP and supports J1939 and CANopen
• Multi-directional use: ideal for roaming machines and angled installations on cabinets and machines
• Easy access and configuration: wireless access to PLCs and machines via intuitive web UI and CLI without halting production
• All-in-one solution: integrated antenna and communication module reduce accessory needs and total cost of ownership
• Quick installation: direct attachment to cabinets/machines or mounting kit for pole/wall installation
