Communication gateway mbGate PB

industrialRS-485Modbus

Simple connection of PROFIBUS Slave Devices to Modbus Control Systems via Internal I/O Mapping With mbGate PB it is possible to integrate up to 2 PROFIBUS PA segments and 1 PROFIBUS DP segment into Modbus TCP control systems. It acts as Modbus TCP Server and PROFIBUS Master. With our gateway 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. Overview Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology • - Simple replacement of installed PROFIBUS DP/PA segment couplers • - Re-use of existing PROFIBUS segments without requiring modification Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments • - Single access point to PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA segments from Modbus TCP networks • - Acting as Modbus TCP Server and 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 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
