Softing Industrial – echochange
Ethernet Gateway for the Connection of Different Controllers
The echochange protocol converter supports Ethernet TCP/IP protocols of such leading manufacturers as Siemens, Schneider Electric and Rockwell Automation. This simple protocol conversion makes communication between automation systems of different manufacturers quick and easy.
Protocol Conversion for Data Exchange between Multi-Vendor Automation Systems
- Integration of robust control technology without having to adjust control software
- Combination of separate networks with different media via configured connections
- Connection of physically separate networks with different media or heterogeneous networks with identical medium
- Connection of data from different control systems via allocation tables
- Bi-directional conversion and writing of PLC data via configured connections
- Analysis of device functionality and extensive Ethernet diagnostics
Support of Multiple Industrial Standard Protocols
- Support of TCP, UDP, IP, ISO (H1), ISO on TCP (RFC1006), PLC Header, EtherNet/IP Ethernet protocols
- Linking of computers with TCP/IP to ISO (H1) networks
- Remote maintenance of ISO (H1) networked controllers via TCP/IP
- Routing support for controllers
Investment Protection and IT Maintenance Cost Reduction
- Standard component for extending functionality without modifying existing systems
- Very easy configuration through straight-forward project import without requiring control modifications and programming skills
- Remote configuration and diagnosis via remote maintenance if required
- No need for additional PC with software updates and additional administration
- Working for years once configured – untouched, without updates, and with zero maintenance costs
- Supporting plug-and-go replacement if required based on configuration data stored on SD card
