With epGate DP it is possible to integrate one PROFIBUS DP segment into Ethernet/IP control systems. With epGate DP the engineering costs can be reduced since it re-uses existing PROFIBUS DP segment without the requiring modification. It enables configuration, parameterization and plant asset management using standard industry tools.
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
Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments
Single access point to PROFIBUS DP segment from EtherNet/IP networks
Acting as EtherNet/IP device (adapter) and PROFIBUS DP master
Support of one PROFIBUS DP segment
Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology
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
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
