Ethernet transmission via Bluetooth
June 2011
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
Wago has introduced a Bluetooth Ethernet gateway to join its range of automation products. The new gateway transfers Ethernet protocols (Profinet, Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP) transparently via Bluetooth2.0. Two gateways replace the standard communication line between two automation systems; the internal circularly polarised antenna providing reliable radio connection even in highly metallic environments. With its compact IP65 housing and standard M12 connectors, the gateway is ideal for use in harsh industrial environments and equipped for a variety of installation requirements.
Standard Bluetooth wireless technology for 2,402 to 2,480 GHz ISM band achieves a range of up to 400 m. Both frequency hopping and low emission mode allows operation in environments including other wireless systems and additional configurations such as password and IP addresses may be implemented via Web-based management. Bluetooth technology can replace wired transmission systems wherever they are difficult to implement, for example in slip ring applications, mobile drive or high-bay storage systems.
