Modbus Ethernet - serial fieldbus gateway
echochange INAT

More and more Ethernet is being used in industry. Several protocols based on Ethernet are available: ISO (H1), ISO on TCP (RFC1006), Modbus on TCP, EtherNet/IP or AB Ethernet. Although these protocols are similar, communication between the corresponding networks is not that simple: Echochange provides the solution: This produces "relationships" between plants that were previously imcompatible.

Features
* Connects different controller worlds:
o Siemens (S7, S5)
o Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, SLC 500)
* Separated Ethernet networks are connected via specific parameterized connections
* Connects PCs with standard TCP/IP to Industrial Ethernet
* Remote maintenance of ISO (H1) stations
* Gateway between separated networks (protocols run on separated media)
* Converter in a heterogeneous network (protocols run on the same medium)
* NEW: The PLC data will be transmitted and be written symmetrical, thus in both directions.
