Wireless Communication with the WiFi Adapter

With the compact WLAN adapter, efficient wireless CPU communication is enabled.

Using the WiFi adapter, the network cable can be easily replaced. Automation can therefore be economically integrated into the existing in-house IT system – if no wired infrastructure is available. An additional advantage is a simple, comfortable online connection for servicing. The adapter operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and can be used worldwide without limitations. The Plug&Play device functions as a client and can also be reconfigured as access point via hardware classes. The USB A interface is supported.

The WiFi adapter can be easily connected to any existing infrastructure with a wireless router as a client. By connecting to the router with a laptop, all service functions are available – naturally with the usual transmission security and specific password.

When used as an access point, no additional network is required to create a connection between the control and the laptop as well as tablet or smartphone.

With the integrated engineering platform LASAL, the control can be comfortably programmed over a virtual connection. Ready-to-use classes and visualization components for selecting access points as well as entering passwords are available.
