Phoenix Contact announces the release of new firmware for its FL WLAN 5100 access
points used for wireless Ethernet/IP communication in automation applications.
The
fastest WLAN data rate is now automatically used for transmission thanks to a
modified transmission process for the Ethernet/IP multicast data. In addition
to ensuring shorter and more stable transmission times during communication, the
enhancement also increases the available bandwidth in the WLAN network.
The
latest version can be easily configured by the user and activated via a
pre-configured Ethernet/IP profile on the web interface. Experts can
personalise the parameters to suit their requirements.
All
FL WLAN 5100 access points can be updated with the new version using the free
firmware downloadable from the Phoenix Contact website.
