ELXM-SW6

The ProSoft Technology Fast Industrial Hotspot (ELXM-SW6) provides secure wireless solutions for plant-floor, SCADA automation, and process control systems. It operates in the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands, including DFS channels.

The Hotspot supports Access Point and Client modes. The 802.11ax technology works on data rates up to 1201 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.

Características y Beneficios

  • EtherNet/IP™- or Modbus®-based PLCs/PACs can use message instructions to read diagnostic information from the radios,
  • helping to reduce downtime when troubleshooting wireless network problems.
  • WPA2/WPA3 Personal and Enterprise security support ensures secure networking with advanced authentication and encryption.
  • HTTPS support for Web Access and Firmware updates.
  • ELXM-SW6-E model RED 3.3 compliant.
  • Network Address Translation (NAT) allows machine builders to 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.
  • Supports the ability to communicate with multiple Ethernet devices when used with existing third-party wireless infrastructures.
  • SNTP support resulting in real-time timestamps in log messages.
  • Syslog supports exporting of status and diagnostic messaging.
  • 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.
