Safety

General Safety Instructions

Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this equipment meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
This equipment 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 equipment contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.

Intended Use

The intended use of this equipment is as a communication interface and gateway. The equipment receives and transmits data on various physical levels and connection types.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Preparation

General Information

Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of your local network environment before installation. 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.The characteristics of the antenna should also be considered when choosing the placement and orientation of the unit. See the Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial User Manual for more information.

Installation

Mechanical Installation

The device is intended to be mounted on top of a machine or cabinet through an M50 (50.5 mm) hole using the included sealing ring and nut.
The top mounting surface (in contact with the sealing) must be flat with a finish equivalent to Ra 3.2 or finer and cleaned and free from oils and greases.
Tightening torque: 5 Nm ±10 %
Make sure that the sealing ring is correctly placed in the circular groove in the top part of the housing before tightening the nut.
Always hold the BOTTOM part of the unit when untightening the nut, not the top part (the cap).

All measurements are in mm.

Connector

The 18-pin connector is common for all models of the Anybus Wireless Bolt. Some pins may have a different function depending on model. Unused pins should not be connected.

Fig. 1 Connector

The location of the RESET button can be used as a reference for the pin numbering when the connector is attached to the Wireless Bolt Serial. Pin 1 will be the pin closest to the button.

The Ethernet interface is intended for configuration purposes only. Wireless Bolt Serial is not designed for permanent Ethernet communication.
A and B marking differs between different devices, in this product A is TX+/RX+ or D+ and B is TX-/RX- or D-.

Note:
• Use RS-485 when connecting multiple devices to a Wireless Bolt Serial.
• The Ethernet wire colors refer to the T568A standard.
• If using a shielded Ethernet cable the shield must be unconnected.
• RS-232 and RS-485 cannot be used at the same time.
• Use termination for RS-485 and CAN when required.
• RS485 Common signal reference ground (SC) is the RS485_GND pin.

Cabling

When using Easy Config Modes, the Wireless Bolt Serial that is to be configured as a Client does not need to be connected to the Ethernet wires. Only power and serial wiring are used.

To make an Ethernet, serial and power connector cable for Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial:

To maintain signal integrity, low emission and high immunity to EMI, untwist the twisted pair cable as little as possible.

1. Cut off one of the connectors on a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable.
2. Strip off about 40 mm (1½ inch) of the cable jacket, from the orange, orange/white, green and green/white wires. The shield and the other wires are not used.
3. Strip off about 7 mm (¼ inch) of the isolation on each wire.
4. Push the pin spring release next to each socket on the connector and insert the correct wire end according to Connector, p. 7.
5. Connect the wires from the serial device to the connector in the same way as the Ethernet wiring.
6. Connect the wires from the power supply to the connector in the same way as the Ethernet wiring. Make sure that polarity is not reversed.

Digital Input

The digital input can be used to control roaming between Bluetooth access points (NAP). For more information, refer to the AT Reference Guide at www.anybus.com/support.
If voltage is applied to the digital input for more than 10 seconds the unit will be reset to factory defaults.

RESET Button

The RESET button is located on the bottom of the unit.
When the unit is powered on, press and hold RESET for >10 seconds and then release it to reset to the factory default settings.
Recovery Mode
If the web interface cannot be accessed, the unit can be reset by starting in Recovery Mode and reinstalling the firmware using Anybus Firmware Manager II, which can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support. To enter Recovery Mode, press and hold RESET during startup.
Firmware updates should normally be carried out through the web interface. Recovery Mode should only be used if the unit is unresponsive and the web interface cannot be accessed.

Configuration

Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial is configured via a web interface. Parameters can be set individually or using pre-configured Easy Config modes.
Advanced configuration can be carried out by issuing AT commands via the web interface or over a Telnet or RAW TCP connection to port 8080 or over serial interface. For more information, refer to the AT Reference Guide at www.anybus.com/support.

Web Interface

The web interface is accessed by pointing a web browser to the IP address of the unit.
The default address is 192.168.0.99.
The configuration settings are described in detail in the User Manual.

Easy Config Modes

In the web interface, you can perform the initial configuration using Easy Config Modes:

The Easy Config Modes are also described when selected in the web interface.

Default Easy Config Mode

By default Wireless Bolt and Bridge starts in Easy Config Mode 4.
Configuration of Wireless Bolt and Bridge Clients can be performed wirelessly, via a PC connected to the Wireless Bolt or Bridge Access Point.
After factor reset, Wireless Bolt will by default start in Easy Config Mode 4, if there is no Ethernet connection.
The Wireless Bolt or Bridge Client does not need to be connected with an Ethernet cable during configuration.

Set Up a Wireless Infrastructure

Connect two or more Wireless Bolt Serial units via WLAN or Bluetooth using Easy Config.
When installing more than one Wireless Bolt Serial in the bridge, configure the Wireless Bolt Serial connected to the Master device as the Access Point.
Configure the Wireless Bolt Serial connected to the Slave as a Clients.
When the Wireless Bolt Serial Access Point is connected to a Modbus network, the Master device must be connected to the Access Point.

Connecting the Devices

1. Connect Client unit 1 to a serial device.
2. Connect Access Point unit 2 to the master device.
3. Connect Access Point unit 2 to your PC, with an Ethernet cable.
4. Connect Access Point unit 2 to power.

Activate Easy Config
1. Navigate to the web interface of Access Point unit 2. The default address to Access Point unit 2 is 192.168.0.99.
2. Activate one of the following Easy Config Modes:
– Easy Config Mode 1 for Bluetooth PANU-PANU. Used for setting up point-to-point communication.
– Easy Config Mode 5 for WLAN
– Easy Config Mode 6 for Bluetooth
3. Connect Client unit 1 to power.
→ Client unit 1 starts up in Easy Config Mode 4 and is open for automatic configuration during 120 seconds.
→ Access Point unit 2 will discover and configure Client unit 1 as a Client and configure itself as an Access Point.
→ Client unit 1 will be assigned the first free IP address in the same Ethernet subnet as Access Point unit 2.
The default address to the first Client unit is 192.168.0.100.
→ If no connection is established during Easy Config Mode:
– Ensure that Client unit 1 is disconnected from Ethernet.
– Disconnect Client unit 1 from power and repeat Activate Easy Config step 5 and 6.

Adding More Wireless Bolt Serial Clients
When using Easy Config Mode 1, continue with Serial Configuration.
When using Easy Config Mode 5 or Easy Config Mode 6, up to 6 additional
Wireless Bolt Serial Clients can be added to the serial bridge.
1. To add more Client units, repeat Connecting the Devices step 1 and the Activate Easy Config steps.
→ Each new Client unit will be assigned the next free IP address in the current Ethernet subnet.

Serial Configuration
From the PC connected to Access Point unit 2:
1. Navigate to the web interface of each Wireless Bolt Serial unit.
2. Select the Serial Settings tab.
3. Configure the serial port settings:

Serial Installation
