Hi folks.
A client replaced a slip-ring some time ago with a WiFi point-to-point bridge, connected to Flex I/O. While it works most of the time, it drops sometimes and they've asked me to spec redundant WiFi.
I've looked at a number of (more expensive and more complicated) scenarios before realizing it could probably be done with 2 point-to-point bridges connected between 1783-ETAP devices. (See attached img)
I suspect the WiFi devices may behave like non-DLR devices between DLR-enabled devices, but I haven't found any publications on this particular application.
Do any of you have experience with WiFi in a DLR?
Are there reasons why this architecture would not work, or be unreliable?
Thanks!
