Protocol Conversion: It enables the communication conversion between the Modbus TCP/IP protocol and the PROFINET protocol, allowing controllers based on Modbus TCP/IP to control PROFINET devices.
Multi-device Control: It can control up to 36 PROFINET RT devices, such as field I/O, drives, human-machine interfaces, and controllers.
Network Isolation: Equipped with two Ethernet ports that are isolated from each other, allowing devices with different protocols to be located in different subnets, which is convenient for network configuration and management.
Remote Configuration and Diagnosis: It supports remote configuration and diagnosis functions. You can remotely view and manage the status of Modbus TCP/IP and PROFINET networks through the network, making maintenance and troubleshooting easier.
Configuration Storage: There is an onboard SD card slot (SD card is optional) for storing configuration files, enabling configuration backup, restoration, and the transfer of configurations between different gateways.
