Gateways

The right gateway every time

For every network type, in every industrial automation system: Our gateways make a decisive contribution to integrated communication. Gateways between Industrial Ethernet, PROFIBUS and AS-Interface are implemented by means of links, controllers or PCs. If the gateway is implemented by a link, no further logic operations are required, whereas in the case of controllers and PCs, integrated interfaces and communications processors are used for the gateway.

When combining IE/PB Link PN IO with SCALANCE W Clients (W722 RJ45), a gateway can also be implemented by PROFIBUS on Industrial Wireless LAN. In this way, PROFIBUS devices can continue to be used and integrated into a PROFINET environment including Wireless LAN, even with PROFIsafe.
