USB-to-WLAN Adapter

Feb. 2, 2011
Designed to provide cost-effective wireless solutions to machine builders and manufacturers, the CU8890 is a USB-to-WLAN adapter that permits wireless integration of Industrial PCs into an Ethernet network.

With regard to its electromagnetic compatibility, the DIN-rail-mounted WLAN box complies with rigorous industrial standards, making it well-suited for use in harsh manufacturing environments. The FCC-certified CU8890 supports the WLAN standard IEEE 802.11 b/g. An integrated DIN-rail adapter allows convenient installation in control cabinets. When connected to an Industrial PC with USB port, the controller facilitates the fieldbus-neutral exchange of all UDP/TCP-based data and can be used both as an access point and as a client. The CU8890 includes a reverse SMA plug, to which various radio antennas can be attached.
