This example describes how to connect an EtherNet/IP IO device and an
EtherNet/IP PLC over Bluetooth using two Wireless Access Points and Easy
Config.
See the respective documentation for the IO device and PLC on how to configure
them for EtherNet/IP communication.
Configuration
1. Reset both Wireless Access Points to the factory default settings.
2. Connect Wireless Access Point 1 to the IO device and Wireless Access
Point 2 to the PLC.
3. Set Wireless Access Point 1 to Easy Config Mode 4.
This unit will now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
4. Set Wireless Access Point 2 to Easy Config Mode 6.
This unit should now automatically discover and configure unit 1 as a Bluetooth
®
client, and configure itself as an access point.
The IO device should now be able to communicate with the PLC as if using a
wired connection.
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.
Note the Requested Packet Interval (RPI)!
The Requested Packet Interval (RPI) for each IO device must be set to ≥ 64 ms!
