2 Description
2.1 Product Description
Anybus Wireless Bridge II provides wireless communication over WLAN and/or Bluetooth®to
wired networks.
Typical applications for Anybus Wireless Bridge II include:
• Adding wireless cloud connectivity to industrial devices
• Accessing devices from a laptop, smartphone or tablet
• Ethernet cable replacement between devices
Note:
Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) may not work with some devices due to different
implementations of Bluetooth by different manufacturers.
WLAN 5 GHz cannot be used at the same time as WLAN 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth.
2.2 Bluetooth or WLAN?
Use Bluetooth when...
• ...the wireless link has an Anybus Wireless Bridge II or Anybus Wireless Bolt at both ends.
• ...an interruption-free connection is more important than data throughput speed.
• ...interference robustness is important – e.g. in an industrial environment.
• ...a Profinet I/O cycle time or EtherNet/IP RPI of 64 ms or more is acceptable.
Use WLAN when...
• ...connecting to other types of wireless devices or a WLAN infrastructure.
• ...high data throughput speed is more important than connection reliability.
• ...large file transfers are expected.
• ...WLAN channel frequency planning is possible.
• ...a low Profinet I/O cycle time or EtherNet/IP RPI is desired.

3.1 Safety
Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band.
Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this device meet appropriate
susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
This product is recommended for use in both industrial and domestic environments.
For industrial environments it is mandatory to use the functional earth connection to
comply with immunity requirements. For domestic environments the functional earth
must be used if a shielded Ethernet cable is used, in order to meet emission
requirements.
This product contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.
See also additional safety instructions in the included compliance information.
3.2 General Information
Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of
your local network environment before installation.
For models with internal antenna the characteristics of the antenna should be considered when
choosing the placement and orientation of the unit.
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. 38.

The digital input can be used for additional functionality with advanced configurations and to
reset the unit. For more information please refer to the Anybus Wireless Bolt/Bridge II AT
Reference Guide.
If voltage is applied to the digital input for more that 10 seconds the unit will be reset
to factory defaults.
Signal wiring for the digital input must be carried in the same cable as power and
functional earth if wiring length exceeds 3 meters.
