Overview
Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial enables you to connect industrial machines and devices to a wireless network. It is attached onto a cabinet or a machine to enable wireless access over Bluetooth®, or WiFi (Wireless LAN). It converts serial RS232/RS485 data to TCP/IP communication over the wireless link. It also works as a router for Modbus-TCP to Modbus-RTU enabling transparent access to all your existing serial Modbus devices.
With Anybus Wireless Bolt you get an All-in-one package featuring, connector, communication processor and integrated antenna in the same unit, with an industrial IP66/IP67 protection class.

Key use cases
Cable Replacement
Point-to-point: Serial to Bolt to WLAN/BT to Bolt to Serial.
Common bus
Multi-point; Serial to Bolt to WLAN/BT to many Bolt to Serial Up to 8 participants (1 master and 7 slaves). Wireless multi-drop (master–slave). The Bolt is transparent. Message from host to Bolt is forwarded to all slaves. Every slave response forwarded to the host. Suitable for master/slave polled protocols with RS485, e.g. Modbus RTU.
