Communication gateway mbGate PA

industrialModbus TCPPROFIBUS

Simple connection of PROFIBUS PA Slave devices to Modbus control systems via internal I/O mapping With mbGate PA it is possible to integrate up to 4 PROFIBUS PA segments into Modbus TCP control systems. It acts as Modbus TCP Server and PROFIBUS PA Master. With our gateways the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing power conditioners in technology upgrade projects. It 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 couplers • Re-use of existing PROFIBUS PA segments without requiring modification Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments • Acting as Modbus Server and PROFIBUS PA Master • Connects up to 4 PROFIBUS PA Segments to Modbus TCP Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools • Supports major Modbus engineering tools such as Schneider Unity Pro or Siemens TIA Portal • Included CommDTM allowing use in FDT/DTM frame applications • EDD-based device parametrization using Siemens Simatic PDM MODBUS/TCP Redundancy • Supports the use of two redundant PLCs and two redundant gateways • Easily enabled via licensing • Full control of redundant operation mode via engineering and PLC
