Trademarks

Anybus® is a registered trademark and Wireless Bolt™ is a trademark of HMS Industrial Networks AB. All other trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective holders.

Intended Use

This equipment provides wireless communication over WLAN and Bluetooth® to wired networks. Typical applications include adding wireless cloud connectivity to industrial devices, accessing devices from laptops, smartphones, or tablets, and replacing Ethernet cables between devices.

Note: Bluetooth PAN may not work with all devices due to different Bluetooth implementations. WLAN 5 GHz cannot be used simultaneously with WLAN 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth.

Type Identification

The type name consists of a type prefix followed by two designators for interface configuration and functionality.

Example: AWB2AA = Anybus Wireless Bolt with 18-pin plug connector and Ethernet networking only.

Installation

General Safety Instructions

[!] Caution: This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM band. Ensure all medical devices in proximity meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this RF energy.

This equipment is recommended for industrial and domestic use. For industrial environments, a functional earth connection is mandatory for immunity requirements. For domestic environments, use a functional earth with a shielded Ethernet cable for emission requirements.

This equipment contains parts sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD prevention measures.

General Information

Ensure you have necessary information about your local network environment before installation. For optimal reception, maintain a clear zone of at least 50 cm between wireless devices to avoid signal obstruction or reflection. Consider antenna characteristics when choosing placement and orientation. Refer to the Anybus Wireless Bolt User Manual for more information.

Mechanical Installation

The device is mounted on top of a machine or cabinet through an M50 (50.5 mm) hole using the included sealing ring and nut. The mounting surface must be flat with a finish equivalent to Ra 3.2 or finer, and cleaned of oils and greases.

Tightening torque: 5 Nm ±10%

[!] Note: Ensure the sealing ring is correctly placed in the circular groove before tightening the nut.

[!] Note: Always hold the BOTTOM part of the unit when untightening the nut, not the top part.

All measurements are in mm.

Diagram shows the Anybus Wireless Bolt with key dimensions: 48mm (width), 67.6mm (diameter), 73.8mm (height), 41mm (external height), 21.5mm (internal height), and a groove depth of 0.5mm to 9.5mm.

Connectors

Note the location of the RESET button when the connector is attached. Pin 1 is closest to the button.

• If using a shielded Ethernet cable, the shield must be unconnected.
• RS-232 and RS-485 cannot be used at the same time.
• Use termination for RS-485 and CAN when required.

Ethernet Cabling

To make an Ethernet connector cable for Anybus Wireless Bolt:

1. Cut off one connector from a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable.
2. Strip off approximately 40 mm of the cable jacket and untwist the orange, orange/white, green, and green/white wires. Other wires are not used.
3. Strip off approximately 7 mm of insulation from each wire.
4. Push the pin spring release next to each socket on the connector and insert the correct wire end according to the 18-pin Connector table.

Connect wires from the power supply to the connector similarly to the Ethernet wiring, ensuring polarity is not reversed.

An Ethernet adapter with an RJ45 female connector is available as an accessory. Please contact your sales representative for more information.

Digital Input

The digital input can control roaming between Bluetooth access points (NAP). For more information, refer to the AT Reference Guide at www.anybus.com/support.

[!] Warning: If voltage is applied to the digital input for more than 10 seconds, the unit will reset to factory defaults.

RESET Button

The RESET button is located on the bottom of the unit. When powered on, press and hold RESET for over 10 seconds, then release to reset to factory default settings.

Recovery Mode

If the web interface is inaccessible, the unit can be reset by starting in Recovery Mode and reinstalling firmware using Anybus Firmware Manager II, downloadable from www.anybus.com/support. To enter Recovery Mode, press and hold RESET during startup.

[!] Note: Firmware updates should normally be done via the web interface. Recovery Mode is for unresponsive units where the web interface is inaccessible.

Diagram shows the underside of the unit with the location of the RESET button indicated.

Configuration

Anybus Wireless Bolt is configured via a web interface, allowing individual parameter settings or use of pre-configured Easy Config modes. Advanced configuration can be done via AT commands through the web interface or a Telnet/RAW TCP connection to port 8080.

Web Interface

Access the web interface by pointing a web browser to the unit's IP address. The default address is 192.168.0.99. Configuration settings are detailed in the User Manual.

Easy Config Modes

By default, Wireless Bolt starts in Easy Config mode 4 when the Ethernet connection is not used, it is connected to power, and factory default settings are used.

The Easy Config modes are also described when selected in the web interface.

I/O-Data Cycle Time

Based on recommendations from industrial equipment suppliers like Rockwell and Siemens, the following minimum I/O-data cycle times are recommended for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP networks:

• Wireless link Point-to-Point with Bluetooth PANU-PANU or Wi-Fi Access Point to Station: 32 ms
• Wireless link with Access Point and up to 4 wireless clients/stations, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi: 64 ms

Factory Restore

The factory default settings can be restored by performing any of the following actions:

• Clicking on Factory Restore on the System Settings page.
• Executing Easy Config Mode 2.
• Issuing the AT command AT&F and restarting the unit.
• Holding RESET pressed for >10 seconds and then releasing it.
• Applying voltage to the digital input for >10 seconds.

Configuration Examples

Ethernet Bridge via WLAN or Bluetooth® (Easy Config)

This example describes connecting two Ethernet network segments via WLAN or Bluetooth using Easy Config.

1. In the web interface of Unit 1, activate Easy Config Mode 4. This unit will become discoverable for automatic configuration.
2. In the web interface of Unit 2, activate Easy Config Mode 5 for WLAN or 6 for Bluetooth. Unit 2 will discover and configure Unit 1 as a client, and configure itself as an access point.

Unit 1 will be assigned the first free IP address in the same Ethernet subnet as Unit 2.

Adding More Devices

Up to 6 additional clients can be added by repeating the procedure. Each new client will be assigned the next free IP address in the current subnet.

Diagram illustrates an Ethernet bridge setup using two Anybus Wireless Bolt units. Unit 1 acts as a client, and Unit 2 acts as an access point, connecting two separate Ethernet network segments wirelessly.
