PROFINET to PROFIBUS DP/PA Master Gateway
Softing’s pnGate PB allows to access to PROFIBUS DP/PA devices through virtual mapping as modular PROFINET device.
Key Component for Transition to State-of-the-Art Technology
- Simple replacement of installed PROFIBUS DP/PA segment coupler
- Re-use of existing PROFIBUS segments without requiring modification
- Support of PROFINET redundancy for increased reliability
Direct Connectivity to PROFIBUS Segments
- Single access point to PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA segments from PROFINET networks
- Acting as PROFINET Device, PROFIBUS PA and PROFIBUS DP Master
- Support of one PROFIBUS DP segment and up to two PROFIBUS PA segments
Configuration, Parameterization and Plant Asset Management Using Standard Industry Tools
- Supports major PROFINET engineering tools such as TIA Portal, Step7 and PC WORXS
- Included CommDTM allowing use in FDT/DTM frame applications
- EDD-based device parametrization using Siemens Simatic PDM
