Click2Contact

The connectBlue rugged Bluetooth ethernet port adapter RBE231 features Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a communication range of up to 1000 m.

It is suitable for industrial installations, transport and data acquisition applications when there is a need to replace the ethernet cable with a Bluetooth connection.

The adapter replaces the RBEPA. The device offers greater throughput and longer range (1000 m).

Adaptive frequency hopping and the connectBlue low emission mode provides robust wireless co-existence, solving potential interference disturbances between Bluetooth and wireless LAN not handled by AFH. Furthermore, the RBE231 supports Bluetooth roaming and has an IP65 classed housing.

The SMART configuration mode and the availability of a web browser configuration tool makes configuration easy. The adapter is compatible throughout connectBlue product generations and technologies, providing a seamless upgrade possibility without the need for product redesign, upgrade investments or qualification approvals.

This compatibility strategy allows the device to be a possible Bluetooth alternative to the rugged wireless LAN ethernet port adapters RWE231 and RWE241. The RBE231 is radio type approved for FCC, IC and R&TTE, compliant with EMC, safety and medical standards, and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR qualified (3.0 prepared via firmware upgrade).
