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.
 

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 PA 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

• Acting as EtherNet/IP device (adapter) and PROFIBUS PA Master
• Support of up to 4 PROFIBUS PA segments

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 PDMA
