2. Safety
2.1. General Safety
CAUTION
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scienc, Medical) band. Make sure that all
medical devices used in proximity to this equipment meet appropriate suscepbility specicaons
for this type of RF energy.
CAUTION
This equipment contains parts that can be damaged by electrostac discharge (ESD). Use ESD
prevenon measures to avoid damage.
CAUTION
Minimum temperature rang of the cable to be connected to the eld wiring terminals, 90 °C.
CAUTION
Use copper wire only for eld wiring terminals.
CAUTION
This equipment is recommended for use in both industrial and domesc environments. For industrial
environments it is mandatory to use the funconal earth connecon to comply with immunity
requirements. For domesc environments the funconal earth must be used if a shielded Ethernet
cable is used, in order to meet emission requirements.
2.2. Intended Use
The intended use of this equipment is as a communicaon interface and gateway. The equipment receives and
transmits data on various physical levels and connecon types.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protecon provided by the
equipment may be impaired.

3. Preparaon
3.1. Support and Resources
For addional documentaon and soware downloads, FAQs, troubleshoong guides and technical support,
please visit www.anybus.com/support.
TIP
Have the product arcle number available, to search for the product specic support web page. You
nd the product arcle number on the product cover.
3.2. Network Environment
Ensure that you have all the necessary informaon about the capabilies and restricons of your local network
environment before installaon.
3.3. Placement
Antenna Consideraons
The characteriscs of the internal antenna should be considered when choosing the placement and orientaon
of the unit.
See also Internal Antenna Characteriscs.
Required Distance Between Devices
For opmal recepon, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could otherwise
obstruct or reect the signal. To avoid signal interference, a minimum distance of 50 cm between the devices
should be observed.
See Wireless Technology Basics (page 55).
3.4. When to Use Bluetooth or WLAN
Use Bluetooth when:
• The wireless link has an Anybus Wireless Bolt or Anybus Wireless Bridge II at both ends.
• An interrupon-free connecon is more important than data throughput speed.
• Interference robustness is important, e.g. in an industrial environment.
• A Pronet I/O cycle me or EtherNet/IP RPI of 64 ms or more is acceptable.
Use WLAN when:
•Connecng to other types of wireless devices or a WLAN infrastructure.
• High data throughput speed is more important than connecon reliability.
• Large le transfers are expected.
• WLAN channel frequency planning is possible.
• A low Pronet I/O cycle me or EtherNet/IP RPI is desired.
3.5. Bluetooth Limitaons
Due to dierent implementaons of Bluetooth by dierent manufacturers, Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area
Network) may not work with some devices.
WLAN 5 GHz cannot be used at the same me as WLAN 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth.
Anybus® Wireless Bolt Serial™Preparaon
Page 4 of 60 SCM-1202-143 2.0

3.6. I/O-Data Cycle Time Consideraons
Based on recommendaons from industrial equipment suppliers, such as Rockwell and Siemens, use the
following minimum I/Odata cycle mes for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP networks:
• Wireless link Point-to-Point with Bluetooth PANU-PANU or Wi-Fi Access Point to Staon: 32 ms
• Wireless link with Access Point and up to 4 wireless clients/staons, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi: 64 ms

SCM-1202-143 2.0 Page 5 of 60

4. Installaon
4.1. Mechanical Installaon
Placement
• The device is intended to be mounted on top of a machine or cabinet through an M50 (50.5mm) hole using
the included sealing ring and nut.
• The top mounng surface, in contact with the sealing, must be at with a nish equivalent to Ra 3.2 or ner
and cleaned and free from oils and greases.
Installaon
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the sealing ring is correctly placed in the circular groove in the top part of the
housing before ghtening the nut.
IMPORTANT
Always hold the BOTTOM part of the unit when unghtening the nut, not the top part (the cap).
Tightening torque: 5 Nm ±10 %
All measurements are in mm.

4.2. Connector
The 18-pin connector is common for several models of the Anybus Wireless Bolt. Some pins may have a dierent
funcon depending on model. Unused pins should not be connected.
Figure 2. 18-Pin connector
The locaon of the RESET buon can be used as a reference for the pin numbering when the connector is
aached to the Bolt Serial. Pin 1 will be the pin closest to the RESET buon.
NOTE
The Ethernet interface is intended for conguraon purposes only. Bolt Serial is not designed for
permanent Ethernet communicaon.
NOTE
A and B marking diers between dierent devices, in this product A is TX-/RX- or D- and B is TX+/RX+
or D+.
For informaon about the correct connecon type and terminaon, refer to RS232/RS485 Electrical Connecon
(page 54).

Note:
• Use RS-485 when connecng mulple devices to a Bolt Serial.
• The Ethernet wire colors refer to the T568A standard.
• If using a shielded Ethernet cable the shield must be unconnected.
• RS-232 and RS-485 cannot be used at the same me.
• Use terminaon for RS-485 and CAN when required.
• RS485 Common signal reference ground (SC) is the RS485_GND pin.
4.3. Cabling
Before You Begin
NOTE
When using Easy Cong Modes, the Bolt Serial that is to be congured as a Client does not need to
be connected to the Ethernet wires. Only power and Serial wiring are used.
NOTE
To maintain signal integrity, low emission and high immunity to EMI, untwist the twisted pair cable
as lile as possible.
Procedure
Create connector cable for Bolt Serial
1. Cut o one of the connectors on a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable.
2. Strip o about 40 mm (1½ inch) of the cable jacket and untwist the orange, orange/white, green and
green/white wires.
The shield and the other wires are not used.
3. Strip o about 7 mm (¼ inch) of the isolaon on each wire.
4. Push the pin spring release next to each socket on the connector and insert the correct wire end according
to Connector (page 7).
5. Connect the wires from the Serial device to the connector in the same way as the Ethernet wiring.
6. Connect the wires from the power supply to the connector in the same way as the Ethernet wiring.
NOTE
Ensure that polarity is not reversed.

5.5. Conguraon Methods
There are dierent methods available for conguring the Bolt Serial.
Built-In Web Interface Sengs
Bolt Serial can be congured via the sengs in the built-in web interface.
See Congure Sengs in the Built-In Web Interface (page 22).
Easy Cong Modes
Bolt Serial can be congured using one of the pre-congured Easy Cong modes.
See Conguraon with Easy Cong (page 16).
AT Commands
Advanced conguraon can be carried out by issuing AT (modem) commands through the web interface or over
a Telnet or RAW TCP connecon to port 8080.
For more informaon about how to use the AT commands, navigate to the built-in web interface Help page or
see the AT Commands Reference Guide.
See also Conguraon with AT Commands (page 18).
5.6. Wireless Conguraon via Access Point Unit
Conguraon of Wireless Bolt and Bridge Clients can be performed wirelessly, via a PC connected to the Wireless
Bolt or Bridge Access Point.
When connecon is established via the wireless interface, the Wireless Bolt or Bridge Client does not need to be
connected with an Ethernet cable during conguraon.
