Introduction 

The AWK-1127 WLAN client is ideal for industrial hard to wire applications, keeping wireless costs under control, and integrating with existing mobile equipment. The AWK-1127 enables WLAN connection to Ethernet devices, and offers an additional serial port for serial device connectivity. The AWK-1127 is rated to operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to 60°C for standard models and -40 to 75°C for wide temperature models, and is rugged enough for any harsh industrial environment. Installation is easy, with either DIN rail or wall mounting capability, wide operating temperature ranges, and IP30 housing with LED indicators make the AWK-1127 a convenient yet reliable solution for any industrial wireless application.
