PMXNOW0300

Industrial WiFi Access Point

WiFi access point, 3-port Ethernet bridge & repeater (WDS)

Description

PMXNOW0300 is a single slot backplane compatible module that allows the M340/M580 processors to interface easily with the WiFi wireless network in order to communicate with devices located remotely.

It can be used either as access point to create the wireless network infrastructure, bridge to connect network equipments or even as repeater to extend the wireless network coverage.

The module offers point to point or point to multipoint communication schemes and supports all Ethernet based protocols including MODBUS/TCP & Ethernet/IP.

Thanks to its built-in WEB interface, the setup of the module is easily achieved using any web browser, module also offers SNMP and NDM (Network Device Manager) configuration and administration.

  • Direct connection to M340/M580, single slot backplane compatible module
  • Hot swappable module during operation for simplified maintenance
  • WiFi IEEE 802.11 a/b/g (2.4 / 5 / 5.4 GHz), up to 108 Mbps
  • Up to 5 Km range with external antenna, 300m LOS with standard antenna
  • Security: WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK & IEEE 802.1X RADIUS
  • Web based configuration, SNMP administration
  • 3-port auto-sensing 10/100 Base TX, auto MDI-MDIX network interface

Specifications

Ethernet Link

3-port Ethernet 10/100 auto-sensing, plug & play mode & auto MDI/MDIX cross-over One port is reserved for the M340/M580 CPU or M340/M580 NOE connection. When connected to the M340/M580 Ethernet port, PMXNOW0300 ports are considered as “Slave”. If connected to the M340/M580 NOE Ethernet port instead, PMXNOW0300 ports are considered as “Master”, distributed I/O operation is then fully supported (I/O Scanner).
