Overview The NT 50-DP-RS is a compact protocol gateway that connects communication networks and enables conversions between a single Real-Time Ethernet port and one fieldbus or serial automation protocol. It supports Slave-to-Slave and Slave-to-Master conversions. In master mode the device provides a single slave device with full master functionality. The design focuses on essential protocol-conversion functions for cost-sensitive industrial applications.
Highlights- Integrates a Modbus RTU device into a PROFIBUS DP network and vice versa
- Transfers ASCII telegrams to/from a PROFIBUS DP Master or Slave
- Space-saving DIN-rail design
- Loadable firmware for flexible conversion options
- Diagnosis and configuration via Ethernet
Supported protocols- Serial (ASCII)
- Serial (programmable)
- Modbus RTU Slave
- Modbus RTU Master
- PROFIBUS DP Master
