ENX Series AS-Interface Gateways support both Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP protocols for seamless communication with standard and safety networks in a single gateway.
They also include a number of advanced features for enhanced network performance and diagnostics retrieval. With ENX gateways, 992 I/O are handled asynchronous to the Ethernet traffic. These fast gateways also scan every AS-i node in 150µs, which enables up to 62 safety e-stops, magnetic switches, and safe outputs to be in one safety program. Single master, dual master, and dual master with built-in safety monitor versions are available. Options include a 16-channel safety version with up to 4 onboard safety channels, where up to 16 channels can be remotely activated using safe output modules. An available memory card enables users to quickly program remote gateways, and to transfer a gateways configuration and safety program from a failed gateway to a replacement.
