For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. A minimum distance of 50 cm between the devices should also be observed to avoid interference. See also Wireless Technology Basics, p. ® Anybus Wireless Bolt ™ User Manual SCM-1202-007-EN 2.5...
Installation 8 (36) Mechanical Installation Anybus Wireless Bolt is intended to be mounted on top of a machine or cabinet through an M50 (50.5 mm) hole using the included sealing ring and nut. Tightening torque: 5 Nm ±10 % Make sure that the sealing ring is correctly placed in the circular groove in the top part of the housing before tightening the nut.
Fig. 2 Connector The location of the RESET button can be used as a reference for the pin numbering when the connector is attached to the Wireless Bolt. Pin 1 will be the pin closest to the button. Description Name Power + (9–30 V)
Installation 10 (36) Cabling To make an Ethernet connector cable for the Anybus Wireless Bolt: Fig. 3 Ethernet cable Cut off one of the connectors on a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. Strip off about 40 mm (1½ inch) of the cable jacket and untwist the orange, orange/white, green and green/white wires.

Recovery Mode If the web interface cannot be accessed, the unit can be reset by starting in Recovery Mode and reinstalling the firmware using Anybus Firmware Manager II, which can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support. Firmware updates should normally be carried out through the web interface.
Appendix A: Configuration Examples 27 (36) Configuration Examples The following examples require that you have installed the Anybus Wireless Bolt and that you understand how to access and use the web interface. • All the examples start out from the factory default settings.
PROFINET communication. Reset both Wireless Bolts to the factory default settings. Connect Wireless Bolt 1 to the IO device and Wireless Bolt 2 to the PLC. Set Wireless Bolt 1 to Easy Config Mode 4. This unit will now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
EtherNet/IP communication. Reset both Wireless Bolts to the factory default settings. Connect Wireless Bolt 1 to the IO device and Wireless Bolt 2 to the PLC. Set Wireless Bolt 1 to Easy Config Mode 4. This unit will now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
2 traffic, such as PROFINET. Configuration Reset the Wireless Bolt to the factory default settings. In Network Settings, configure the IP settings as required by the wireless network. If the network uses DHCP, select DHCP Relay Enabled.
Enter the MAC address of the PLC in the Cloned MAC Address field. 10. Click on Save and Reboot. The Wireless Bolt will now function as a WLAN interface for the PLC using the MAC address of its Ethernet interface.
Accessing a PLC from a handheld device using WLAN This example describes how to use a Wireless Bolt to allow access to the web interface of a PLC or other device on a wired network from a tablet or smartphone that uses dynamic IP addressing (DHCP).
To reduce interference and phase cancelling, the range may also need to be limited by reducing the transmission power. For determining the optimal configuration and placement of wireless devices it is therefore recommended to use a wireless signal analysis tool. ® Anybus Wireless Bolt ™ User Manual SCM-1202-007-EN 2.5...
