Communication gateway pnGate PB

industrialRS-485PROFIBUS DP

Direct Integration of PROFIBUS DP and PA Segments into PROFINET Control Systems With pnGate PB it is possible to integrate up to 2 PROFIBUS PA segments and 1 PROFIBUS DP segment into PROFINET systems using virtual mapping. With pnGate PB the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing power conditioners in technology upgrade projects. It provides S2 redundancy and enables configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools. Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology • Simple replacement of installed PROFIBUS DP/PA segment coupler • Re-use of existing PROFIBUS segments without requiring modification • Support of MRP and S2 PROFINET redundancy for increased reliability Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments • Single access point to PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA segments from PROFINET networks • Acting as PROFINET Device, PROFIBUS PA and PROFIBUS DP Master • Support of one PROFIBUS DP segment and up to two PROFIBUS PA segments Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools • Supports major PROFINET engineering tools such as TIA Portal, Step7 and PC WORXS • Included CommDTM allowing use in FDT/DTM frame applications • EDD-based device parametrization using Siemens Simatic PDM
