Use Bluetooth when...
• ...the wireless link has an Anybus Wireless Bridge II or Anybus Wireless Bolt at both ends.
• ...an interruption-free connection is more important than data throughput speed.
• ...interference robustness is important – e.g. in an industrial environment.
• ...a Profinet I/O cycle time or EtherNet/IP RPI of 64 ms or more is acceptable.
Use WLAN when...
• ...connecting to other types of wireless devices or a WLAN infrastructure.
• ...high data throughput speed is more important than connection reliability.
• ...large file transfers are expected.
• ...WLAN channel frequency planning is possible.
• ...a low Profinet I/O cycle time or EtherNet/IP RPI is desired.
