RJ45 wireless technology
Sure! Looking for a transmitter and receiver using RJ45 connectors that come pre-packaged together. You're asking if it's possible to find such a setup from the factory. Check for compatible industrial communication modules or network devices that support this configuration.
It could be. However, the PLC lacks a direct interface. The wireless link or Wi-Fi must be handled separately outside the PLC. That’s the most accurate summary I can give. You’re likely correct about the range. It would be better to have transmitters and receivers in place for a smoother connection if feasible.
These RJ45 wall plugs can also function. They provide internet connectivity using your home power outlets. You can find them here: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-XAVB101-P...B001AGM2VI. There are more affordable options available, though I didn’t check them.
how low can the cost really be? these options don’t seem inexpensive, and with all the setup involved, it makes sense to invest in highly shielded Ethernet cables. at our workplace, a client once ran a laser system for over $10k, which was quite expensive. point-to-point Wi-Fi is definitely cheaper, but that depends on your situation.
Sure, I've tried those before and they worked well in this setup. Another option could be purchasing two routers, installing OpenWRT on them, and linking them via Wi-Fi (this requires some work and time). For better coverage, directional antennas might also help.
At that stage, invest in P2P solutions—they are available, not groundbreaking, but they offer wireless connectivity with direct connections.
