AW5500 Wireless Access Point
AW5500 is an industrial, extremely flexible and cost-effective wireless device that supports access point (AP), Bridge, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) and Client modes of operation. It also supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n using either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency bands - for maximum compatibility with other Wi-Fi devices and lightning fast data-rates. It has 9 to 48 VDC powered and 5.85 W power consumption.
Not available for backorder - new product is ATO-201A
AW5500 embodies a strong wireless network manager that will deliver optimum performance in your network. It comes with dual antenna design which offers better wireless coversafe and reduces wireless blind spots.
This unit can be set up as Acess Point (AP), Bridge, Wireless distribution System (WDS) and Client modes of operation. The AW5500 has been designed for industrial applications with conformal coating PCB protection, robust metal enclosure (IP50 rated) with DIN-rail or Wall mount option.
In industrial and manufacturing automation fields, AW5500 is used as a field device to connect the Ethernet through TCP/IPv4 protocol directly. It is also specially designed for conjunction with PLCs, HMIs, Barcode Scanners, Data Terminals, Electronic Kanbans, Shop Floor Control Systems, and Pick-to-Light Systems. This unit has a 5 year warranty.
We carry a selection of the full range of options listed in the datasheet. Non-stocked configurations may be available but may be subject to minimum order quantities or different pricing. Contact Us for more information.
