This example describes how to connect an EtherNet/IP IO device and an EtherNet/IP PLC over
Bluetooth using two Wireless Bolts and Easy Config.
See the respective documentation for the IO device and PLC on how to configure them for
EtherNet/IP communication.
Configuration
1. Reset both Wireless Bolts to the factory default settings.
2. Connect Wireless Bolt 1 to the IO device and Wireless Bolt 2 to the PLC.
3. Set Wireless Bolt 1 to Easy Config Mode 4.
This unit will now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
4. Set Wireless Bolt 2 to Easy Config Mode 6
This unit should now automatically discover and configure unit 1 as a Bluetooth client, and
configure itself as an access point.
The IO device should now be able to communicate with the PLC as if using a wired connection.
Adding More Devices
Up to 6 additional clients can be added by repeating the procedure. Each new client will be
assigned the next free IP address within the current subnet.
The Requested Packet Interval (RPI) for each IO device must be set to 64 ms.
