Ethernet - PROFIBUS fieldbus gateway
10/100BaseT, RS485, RS232 | FNL COMSOFT

FNL - for an optimum connection of fieldbus and Ethernet networks up to 100 Mbit/s. FNL allows the connection to all PROFIBUS DP networks based on RS485 (up to 12 Mbit/s) and supports DP Master class 1 and 2 on the basis of DP and DPV1 services as well as DP Slave.

The access to FNL is carried out through a TCP/IP socket interface. The interface is operating system independent, completely unfolded and because of its quickness convincing.

The Ethernet based operation mode as MODBUS TCP/IP Slave provides easy integration of FNL as PROFIBUS DP Master into a large number of visualisation and control systems. The PROFIBUS DP based diagnostics and IO data are dynamically compiled into the MODBUS TCP/IP structure and do not have to be configured additionally.

Various access options are offered on the network side:

COMSOFT Network Configurator (CNC)
CNC is a full graphical tool for the integration of FNL in your network. CNC scans the network for available FNL Gateways and allows the calibration of all device-specific network parameters including the TCP/IP address.
