Communication gateway NHST-T100-DN/DNM

industrialTCPEthernet

Product overview
The NHST-T100-DN/DNM is an Ethernet-based DeviceNet master that enables industrial PCs and embedded systems to control DeviceNet networks via a standard LAN connection. It operates autonomously using a netX 100 communication controller and provides a TCP/IP-based transport protocol for remote control. A Windows DLL and a C source driver are provided so integration is identical to Hilscher cifX PC cards, allowing existing applications to be used remotely. Cycle and acyclic services are supported; typical transmission of 100 bytes of process data takes about 1 ms. The product supports redundant operation of two devices and includes a memory card slot for fast replacement and commissioning without additional software.
