Protocol Converters / Gateways
Product Brands: Hilscher, Trycom
LAN gateways
Product: netHost
A netHost RTE is a full-featured and autonomously operating Real-Time Ethernet master allowing industrial PC’s and other embedded systems the control of real-time Ethernet networks over an ordinary LAN connection.
Entry level gateways
Product: netTAP 50
NetTap 50 is a protocol converter for simple conversions. It converts 1-port real-time Ethernet, fieldbus and serial automation protocols. Slave to slave to master conversions are supported. As a master, netTAP50 provides full master functionality to one slave device only.
Fieldbus gateways
Product name: netTAP 100
netTAP 100 is the protocol converter for sophisticated and supports 2-port Real-time Ethernet to serial, Fieldbus to Fieldbus, Real-Time Ethernet to Ethernet-to-Ethernet conversions. It supports Slave and master functionality in any combination. Master functionality is unrestricted when Licensed.
Real-time Ethernet gateways
Product name: netTAP 151
The gateway netTAP 151 transmits IO data bidirectionally between any two industrial Real-Time Ethernet networks. It is the ideal solution for installations with heterogeneous networks or such of the same kind to exchange data across given network boundaries. With more than 25 different combinations of the protocols PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, POWERLINK and Sercos, the device series provides a solution for any conversion.
Real-time Ethernet switch
Product name: netSWITCH
The Sercos Real-Time Ethernet system provides deterministic jitter-free data transmission for controlling and synchronizing drives. Parallel to this and based on a time-slot basis, standard Ethernet telegrams can be transmitted via a NRT (Non-Real-Time) channel. These NRT telegrams must be buffered for retransmission on a standard Ethernet network. The netSWITCH provides this buffer connection between the synchronized Serocs network and standard Ethernet. Besides the two Ethernet ports for Serocs is one Ethernet port for connection to a notebook or other standard Ethernet capable devices.
Web-HMI servers
Product name: netSCADA
The integrated Web Visualization of netSCADA Modbus sets the path of graphical Web Browser based HMI for low cost control of automated machines and industrial manufacturing systems. The device links to the targeted system with simple Modbus RTU protocol over a serial RS-232, RS-485 or RS-485 connection. The two Ethernet ports with integrated 2-port switch functionality are connecting the unit economically with the existing network at no need for additional Ethernet Switches
netLINK-MPI and netTAP-MPI
As directly mountable or firmly attachable DIN rail device, the adaptors netLINK-MPI and netTAP-MPI replace expensive CP communication processors. The adaptors allow the programming, the visualization and the control of S7-200®, S7-300® or S7-400® PLCs via Ethernet
netLINK PROXY
netLINK PROXY integrates any PROFIBUS DP slave into a superordinate PROFINET network. Designed as a connector, the device is plugged directly onto the PROFIBUS DP interface of the DP Slave and connected to the PROFINET network via the RJ45 socket
Trycom serial converters
Tyrcom offers a wide range of Serial converters for industrial networking applications. With multiple devices, trycom makes it simple and easy to find the right product for the right job. Most demanded conversions like serial to digital, USB, Ethernet, MODBUS TCP, RTU/ASCII and Bluetooth are readily available with simple configuration software.
