Real Time Automation, Inc. Industrial Control Component Gateways: Connects up to five Allen-Bradley PLCs with a BACnet/IP client over wireless 460ETCBS-N2EW-DW

The 460ETCBS-N2EW is an industrial control component gateway designed to facilitate wireless communication between up to five Allen-Bradley PLCs and a BACnet/IP client. It operates using Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4GHz and incorporates AES 128-bit encryption for secure data transmission. The device supports a maximum of 150 tag or file arrays of data per PLC, allowing for efficient data mapping in both directions. This gateway functions as a fully configurable BACnet/IP server, supporting various object types including device, binary I/O, analog I/O, and character string values. Configuration is simplified through a browser-based interface, eliminating the need for additional programming software. The 460ETCBS-N2EW also features separate Ethernet connections for PLC and BACnet networks, ensuring streamlined integration without the need for polling or EtherNet/IP scan lists. Additional capabilities include alarming features, user access configuration for diagnostics, and a translation table for data manipulation during protocol translation. The device is housed in a durable anodized aluminum enclosure suitable for din rail or panel mounting, and it operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It comes with a 5-year hardware warranty, making it a reliable choice for industrial applications.
