Communication gateway pnGate DP

industrialEthernetRS-485

Simple connection of PROFIBUS DP Slave Devices to PROFINET Control Systems via Internal I/O Mapping With pnGate DP it is possible to integrate one PROFIBUS DP segment into PROFINET control systems using virtual mapping. With pnGate DP the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing PROFIBUS DP segment without the requiring modification. It provides S2 redundancy and enables configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools. Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools • Supports major PROFINET engineering tools such as TIA Portal, Step7 und PC WORXS • Included CommDTM allowing use in FDT/DTM frame applications • EDD-based device parametrization using Siemens Simatic PDM Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments • Single access point to PROFIBUS DP segment from PROFINET networks • Acting as PROFINET device and PROFIBUS DP master • Support of one PROFIBUS DP segment Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology • Re-use of existing PROFIBUS segments without requiring modification • Support of MRP and S2 PROFINET redundancy for increased reliability
