Bridge Profibus/ Modbus-TCP Networks
It is a configurable stand-alone gateway that allows plant-floor devices
on a Profibus network to communicate with the devices on a Modbus-TCP
network and vice versa. Typical applications are installations with
mixed usage of Siemens and Schneider Electric, ABB or GE PLCs. It
functions as a server (slave) on the Modbus-TCP network and as a master
on the Profibus side. The Profibus master functionality is configured
with the vendor’s Anybus NetTool for Profibus, a Windows-based
configuration tool provided with the gateway. Up to 124 Profibus slaves
can be connected. The gateway also uses an embedded Web server on the
Modbus-TCP side which supports Web-based remote diagnostics and
visualization. It contains Profibus and Modbus-TCP communication
interfaces that have been certified for full compliance to the
respective protocol standards.HMS Industrial Networkswww.anybus.com312.829.0601
