Transmitting switching states via WLAN
Do you need to transmit digital signals across the hall, into an outbuilding or to moving plant parts? Before you start the drill or lay expensive cable trays:
It’s much easier – completely wireless!
With our WLAN-IO Digital 4x In/Out, you tunnel the IO signals directly via radio. To do this, connect two of these devices together in box-to-box mode. The devices then transmit the IO signals fully automatically and bidirectionally from one side to the other.
You don’t have Wi-Fi? No problem! The devices can also work autonomously: One Wi-Fi IO is configured as an access point, the second then logs on as a client. Your own, self-sufficient radio link is already in place – without any additional routers or IT infrastructure.
- With the WLAN-IO Digital 4x In/Out (item no. 97733) you can easily “tunnel” IO signals.
- It doesn’t matter whether it’s “just” across the factory floor or halfway around the world to the next location.

- True box-to-box mode: Direct and wireless pairing of two Wi-Fi IO devices
- Fully automatic & bidirectional: I/O signals are mirrored
- ndependently and in both directions
- Cable replacement in no time at all: Saves expensive cable trays, earthworks, and wall breakthroughs
- Ideal for moving plant parts: Signal transmission on cranes, pallet trucks or rotating machines
- Robust for industry: Compact DIN rail mounting with durable hardware
No Wi-Fi? No problem!
- The devices can work completely autonomously and do not require any existing IT infrastructure
- A Wi-Fi IO is simply configured as an access point…
- … and the second WLAN-IO as a client – done!
- Your own, self-sufficient radio link is already up and running – without any additional routers or the like.
Two possible WLAN architectures – for the transmission of IO signals
See here in a direct comparison how flexibly wireless IO mirroring can be integrated into your existing environment:
- Infrastructure Mode: Both Wi-Fi IOs log into your existing Wi-Fi
- Central administration: Communication runs securely via your existing access points or routers
- Easy integration: Ideal if the halls are already fully illuminated with Wi-Fi
- Step-by-step instructions
Â
- Own access point: A WLAN IO is configured as an access point and sets up its own wireless network
- Direct Coupling: The second device logs in as a client – completely without any external IT infrastructure
- Absolutely self-sufficient: No load on the company network, no router configuration required
- Step-by-step instructions
