EW5302 Wireless Client Adaptor is a bridge between wireless LAN to Ethernet and RS-232/RS-485 communications. It allows almost any Ethernet and serial devices to be connected to a new or existing wireless network. The information transmitted by Wireless Client Adaptor is transparent to both host computers (IP network over wireless LAN) and devices (Ethernet/RS-232/RS-485). Data from the wireless LAN is transmitted to the designated Ethernet/RS-232/RS-485 port and data from Ethernet/RS-232/RS-485 port is transmitted to the Wireless (TCP/IP) transparently.
In the computer integration manufacturing or industrial automation area, Wireless Client Adaptor is used for field devices to direct connect to network.
Many control devices provide the ability to communicate with hosts through Ethernet/RS-232/RS-485 however RS-232/RS-485 serial communication has its limitations. For instance, it is hard to transfer data through Wireless or long distance. With EW5302, it is possible to communicate with a remote device in the Intranet environment or even in the Internet and thus, increases the communication distance dramatically. Flexible configuration options enable this unit to be setup remotely over IP network by Web browser, or Window utility. Packed in a rugged DIN Rail mountable case and 9~48V DC power input range, EW5302 is ideal for almost any industrial and manufacturing automation.
