OverviewnetTAP 100 is a communication gateway that links networks and performs protocol conversions between a Real-Time Ethernet protocol (2-port) and fieldbus or serial automation protocols. It can also convert between two fieldbus protocols or between a fieldbus and a serial protocol. Licensed Master functionality is unrestricted. A removable memory card slot enables fast device exchange and storage of firmware and configuration.
Highlights- Integrates a subordinate Real-Time Ethernet network into another Ethernet system and vice versa
- Master capacity: up to 200 EtherCAT slaves, 128 PROFINET IO devices, 64 EtherNet/IP adapters, 511 Sercos slaves
- Shortest I/O conversion period: < 10 ms
