Communication gateway NT 50-RS-EN

industrialEthernet TCP/IPEtherNet/IP

Product overview
netTAP 50 connects to communication networks and acts as a gateway for protocol conversion between one Real-Time Ethernet protocol (1-port) and one fieldbus or serial automation protocol, as well as between a fieldbus protocol and a serial automation protocol. It supports Slave-to-Slave and Slave-to-Master conversions. As a master, netTAP 50 provides a single slave device with full master functionality to integrate a field device into a higher-level network.

Product design
The compact hardware design focuses on the essentials of a protocol converter and is aimed at cost-sensitive industrial applications. The device offers a versatile, attractively priced gateway with multiple conversion options and simple integration.

Highlights

• Integrates Modbus RTU devices into Ethernet networks and vice versa
• Transfers ASCII telegrams to/from Ethernet master or slave
• Compact, space-saving design
• Loadable firmware for additional conversion functions
• Ethernet-based diagnosis and configuration interface

Supported protocols

• Serial (ASCII)
