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.
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 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
