Product data sheet


ATEX equipments are designed for industrial applications in explosive environment like the chemical industries, refineries, electric stations, very dusty environments and also those where sparks and electric arcs occur...

The WL-ACCESS-ATEX device used in the ACCESS POINT mode makes it possible to create an industrial WiFi wireless network from any industrial equipment featuring an 10/100 Ethernet interface.

Used in the BRIDGE mode, the WL-ACCESS-ATEX enables to connect any industrial equipment featuring a 10/100 Ethernet interface to the WiFi wireless network.

The WL-ACCESS-ATEX device is also designed to work as a wireless bridge between the wired MODBUS/TCP protocol and the radio network, this feature allows to connect any MODBUS/TCP equipment to this network.

Thanks to its built-in WEB interface, the setup of the device is achieved using the web browser installed on your computer (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla ...).
WL-ACCESS-ATEX doesn't require any additional software to be installed in your computer (no peripheral driver needed).
