The netTAP 100 is designed as a flexible and cost-effective gateway to bridge the gaps between traditional fieldbus, real-time Ethernet based systems and serial protocols.
Based on the vendor’s netX chip, up to 1,000 protocol combinations are
possible in a modular compact DIN-rail mounted housing. The netTAP 100
is capable of linking any of the major fieldbuses, real-time Industrial
Ethernets and serial protocols used in the market today, says the
vendor. Master and Slave protocols for CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus,
CCLink, EtherCat, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink, Profinet, SERCOS
III, MB/RTU, MB ASCII RS232-, RS422, and RS485 are included for
real-time I/O data exchange. The netTAP 100 can be configured to be a
master or slave on either end. The configuration software for the
master side is an enhanced version of Sycon.net which is an
FDT/DTM-based tool. A standard USB port is used for configuration, as
well as loading network firmware and diagnostics.Hilscher North America Inc.www.hilscher.com630.505.5301
