The Perfect Link for Data Communication – The Industrial Gateway

DCS The Perfect Link for Data Communication Weidlmuller 1 400

July 8, 2022

 

A single solution for connecting multiple devices, across multiple protocols. In systems where the installed base includes Industrial Ethernet and/or serial protocols, establishing communication across devices is critical and upgrading the equipment isn’t always feasible. The Industrial Gateway is the most cost-effective way to move data between multiple PLCs and slave (server) devices, each with a different protocol, saving you time, money, and the headache of configuring multiple gateway devices.

Features and Benefits

  • •Single Solution: Multiple protocols, multiple communication ports, one box
  • •Configurable: Transfer data to and from any port, in any combination
  • •Multiple serial ports: Maximum device connectivity
  • •Cost effective: The functionality of multiple gateways for the price of one
  • •Intuitive navigation: Consistent configuration for any protocol conversions
  • •No software to install: Browser-based configuration
  • •No PLC programming: Transfer data without editing PLC code
  • •Context-Sensitive help: Fully searchable with images and step-by-step instructions only one click away

 

Product at a glance

  • •The Industrial Gateway supports 12 protocols (the equivalent of 15 one-to-one protocol gateway devices). The more protocols you need bridged, the more savings you gain.
  • •The Industrial Gateway features 2 or 4 serial ports that operate simultaneously. This allows you to connect multiple devices with a single gateway. Additionally, each port can be configured with a different protocol.
  • •The Industrial Gateway features two Ethernet ports that supports multiple protocols, simultaneously. This allows you to connect multiple devices with a single gateway.
  • •The Industrial Gateway supports data transfers to and from any port, in any combination (Ethernet to Ethernet, Ethernet to Serial, Serial to Serial).
