Description
EtherNet/IP to PROFIBUS DP/PA Master Gateway
Direct Integration of PROFIBUS DP and PA Segments into EtherNet/IP Control Systems
With epGate PB it is possible to integrate up to 2 PROFIBUS PA segments and 1 PROFIBUS DP segment into EtherNet/IP systems. With epGate PB 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 PA: Integrate up to 4 PROFIBUS PA segments 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
- Simple replacement of installed PROFIBUS DP/PA segment coupler
- Re-use of existing PROFIBUS segments without requiring modification
- Support of common control systems e.g. Emerson DetlaV or Rockwell Control Logix
- Support of DLR for redundant communication in the ring with EtherNet/IP
Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments
- Single access point to PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA segments from EtherNet/IP networks
- Acting as EtherNet/IP device (adapter), PROFIBUS PA and PROFIBUS DP Master
- Support of one PROFIBUS DP segment and up to two PROFIBUS PA segments
- Support of up to 64 PROFIBUS devices
Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools
- Supports major EtherNet/IP engineering tools such as Studio 5000 and AMS Device Manager
- Included CommDTM allowing use in FDT/DTM frame applications
- EDD-based device parametrization using Siemens Simatic PDM
Simple Integration Through Add-On Instructions
- Data access of PLC program to PROFIBUS devices without requiring detailed PROFIBUS knowledge
- Mapping between the two protocols generated by provided tools
- Use of Add-On Instructions (AOI) containing detailed PROFIBUS data type definitions
- Transparent communication overcoming protocol differences
- Optimized for usage with Allen Bradley controllers
