Wireless bridge for ControlLogix

The MV156-WA-EIP inRAx wireless EtherNet/IP communication module acts as a wireless bridge, enabling remote connectivity between a ControlLogix processor and 802.11b wireless devices including PCs, laptops, radio modems and other MV156-WA-EIP modules. In addition to EtherNet/IP, the in-chassis high-speed module also has routing capabilities over DH+, ControlNet and DeviceNet.
