Product Description
Description
EtherNet/IP to PROFIBUS PA Master Gateway
Direct Integration of PROFIBUS PA Segments into EtherNet/IP Control Systems
With epGate PA it is possible to integrate up to 4 PROFIBUS PA segments into EtherNet/IP. With epGate PA 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.
Similar Solutions:
- epGate DP: Integrate PROFIBUS DP segments into EtherNet/IP systems
- epGate PB: Integrate up to 2 PROFIBUS PA segments & 1 PROFIBUS DP segment into EtherNet/IP systems
- epGate PN: Integrate PROFINET I/O devices into EtherNet/IP systems
Overview
Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology
