Hilscher NT 100-RE-CO System - Gateway EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Ethernet POWERLINK, Modbus TCP, PROFINET-IO, SERCOS III. Simple Type: Connector

Communication technology in factory automation is currently going through a change of technology from the established field bus technology to Real-Time Ethernet-based systems. In the extension of field bus installations or integration of devices that do not yet possess Ethernet interfaces there are system transfers that need to be linked. For this purpose there are Gateways that possess interfaces to both systems and can exchange data over them. Alone the most important field bus systems, CC-Link, CANopen, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS and Real-Time Ethernet systems such as EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, POWERLINK, PROFINET and SERCOS III result in ten systems. With the various Master and Slave functions there are 400 possible combinations. Taking into account simple serial protocols via RS232-, RS422- or RS485 interfaces one easily reaches more than 1000 Gateways, a multitude of devices that can be realized only by means of customer or project-specific or modular methods.
