ELXM-SW6

The ProSoft Technology Fast Industrial Hotspot (ELXM-SW6) provides secure wireless solutions for plant-floor, SCADA automation, process control systems and mobile worker Wi-Fi infrastructure. It operates in the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands, including DFS channels.
The Hotspot supports Client modes and the 802.11ax technology works on data rates up to 1020 Mbps over the air. This provides excellent packet-per-second performance and robust communications in rugged industrial environments. The 802.11ax MIMO & Channel bonding supports demanding wireless applications such as Ethernet I/O and high-resolution video.
The included IH Browser configuration and monitoring software allows the user to view network topology, assign IP addresses, monitor network diagnostics, and update radio firmware.

Caractéristiques Avantages

  • EtherNet/IP™- or Modbus®-based PLCs/PACs can use message instructions to read diagnostic information from the radios, helping to reduce down time when troubleshooting wireless network problems.
  • RADIUS security ensures secure networking with advanced authentication and encryption.
  • Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) allow for secure remote network segmentation in Access Point mode.
  • Network Address Translation (NAT) lets machine builders deploy machines with identical local IP configuration.
  • Quality of Service (QoS) provides data prioritization for I/O control devices, video data, etc.
  • 802.11r Fast Roaming over the Air and over DS maintains seamless, high-speed connections to one or more devices on moving equipment and machines (such as cranes, AGVs, and carriers) as they travel between Access Points.
  • IGMP Snooping & Packet Filtering optimizes UDP multicast traffic for superior EtherNet/IP I/O communications.
  • Supports the ability to communicate with multiple Ethernet devices when used with existing third-party wireless infrastructures.
  • Disaster recovery feature allows the radio configuration to be stored on a microSD card for quick field replacement.
  • Simple local and remote configuration, monitoring, and wireless network diagnostics via IH Browser utility or SNMP.
