Communication gateway NHST-T100-EN/PNM

industrialLANEthernet

Overview
netHOST RTE NHST-T100-EN/PNM is a LAN-controlled PROFINET IO-Controller for DIN-rail installation that allows industrial PCs and embedded systems to control Real-Time Ethernet networks via a standard Ethernet connection. The device acts as a remotely controllable Real-Time Ethernet master with a uniform API compatible with cifX PC cards. Integration is supported by a Windows DLL and C source code for embedded targets.

Key capabilities

• PROFINET IO-Controller (supports up to 128 PROFINET slaves)
• TCP/IP-based open access protocol for remote control
• Quick start via DLL with API identical to cifX PC cards
• Embedded integration via provided C driver source
• Supports RTC, RTA, DCP, CL-RPC and alarm protocols

Operational notes
Typical transmission: ~100 bytes of process data per direction can be exchanged over LAN in about 1 ms. Acyclic services to subordinate Real-Time Ethernet stations are supported. Two devices can be combined for redundancy; in case of device or line failure a switchover is possible. A memory card slot enables maintenance personnel to load and commission a replacement device within seconds without additional software. Ambient operation is 0 °C to +60 °C; storage -40 °C to +85 °C. No condensation permitted.

Supported protocols

• Ethernet TCP
• PROFINET IO-Controller
